That would depend on average total amount of intermediate surface contact friction.

But just for *****-n-giggles lets just assume your johnson is 6 inches long, Now assuming 1 Foot per Second on an average evening = 0.681818 miles per hour, or 60 feet per mad minute @ 120 tpm ! You'd have to have a pretty beefy crank with good cylinder lubrication, but most assuredly will blow your rod......lol

Wonderful. IT only goes to 65mph. I'm guessing 70-80mph when it's 35 out means that is the legitimate answer to why my nipples always turn purple after riding!

You have to read about thermal exchanges / thermodynamics to understand these values. For example when its 40°F with wind and rain my house furnace burns more oil than when it's freezing outside. The reason is the wind (increase of air pressure) blows away the air cushion that limits the temperature exchange and when it rains things get worse because the water eliminates (gets underneath) the intermediate cushion.
In my early riding days newspaper was used to limit the chill and you could light a fire once you reached destination

Thanks for sharing the chart. I know it has felt pretty damn cold riding into work at 65-75 mph with temps around 25 degrees or less. But I had no idea it was really that cold, that the wind chill factor would result in that low of a temp- really?
Seeing this chart though makes me feel better about it all. Here I was thinking old age and/or wimpification was creeping up on me (Ok, well maybe a little of both, but -9 or less seems really friggin cold for this AZ dude).
Saving my dinero for some heated gloves. I won't have them this year but for next year, I am putting an end to the frozen hand thing! Jacket, chaps & balaclava seem to be working just fine- it's just the dang hands getting frozen, no matter what type of "winter" riding glove I have tried.

Depends on the temperature. It will get shorter with the cold and longer with the heat.

Some things I don't want to know....I tend to get preoccupied over gauges etc. and it ruins the ride.

I think that the expression "colder than a witches tit" was made by some socially inhibited puritan in Salem, MA in the 1600s who actually had no personal experience with a witch.

I on the other hand did date a witch and she was much closer to the fires of hell and I was far more concerned about burning up than freezing. Her tit was hot enough to burn. No experience with the well digger.

I did not see a response to this so I will give it a shot. Anytime the air temp is greater than your body temp, any increase in air movement will warm you up rather than cool you.

Humidity comes into play when you look at the heat index and your ability to cool off, usually only noticeable if the dew point is at least 60 degrees. I would substitute the heat index for the ambient temp on hot humid days and calculate the windchill based on that (and then stay inside with the air on and have a cold beverage)....
