The Science behind the emotion.
Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”

New to Arriva London North as their ADL7, McGill's Bus Service's Dennis Dart SLF/Alexander 4607 W607VGJ is pictured on Smithills Street, Paisley, on June 17th 2015.
In this October 1978 view we see three ECW bodied Western National vehicles in the shape of their Bristol FLF6G types 1992 (138 HUO) and 1995 (141 HUO) together with Bristol LH6L type 1565 (SUO 430H). They are parked up whilst between school contract duties on Old Road in Liskeard. At this time there was a school situated behind and to the left of the buses as we look, but today the old site has been redeveloped and a new school building now stands on the opposite side of the road.
In the late 1960s early 1970s, WNOC had gradually discontinued their entire route network serving the town of Liskeard until eventually the last service was withdrawn on 4th September 1971. However, whilst the services disappeared they continued to provide a number of contracts to the various schools in the town. These were operated by four vehicles from the WNOC garage at Callington. During the day three remained parked up in Liskeard whilst the fourth bus was used to transport the drivers back and forth between the two towns. This arrangement continued for a number of years.

Boston Lodge at Penrhyn Isa, is the location of the railway's main engineering workshops, locomotive shed and carriage works for the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway.
The Boston Lodge address and postcode is shared by the works with four cottage dwellings (mostly occupied in connection with the railway) and with the former tollgate cottage at the end of the causeway. The original 'Penrhyn Isa' cottage (now the railway works office) was renamed 'Boston Lodge' after Boston, Lincolnshire, the parliamentary seat of William Madocks, the proprietor of the land reclamation venture.
Construction of the causeway, known locally as ‘The Cob’, linking Penrhyn Isa on the Merioneth shore with the small rocky island called Ynys Towyn (where Britannia Terrace now stands in Porthmadog) near the Caernarfonshire shore, started in 1807 and was completed in 1811 during which time large quantities of stone was quarried and extracted from both ends. The embankment, which was the final stage of the Traeth Mawr land reclamation scheme, was 24 feet (7.3 m) wide at the top (where the railway now runs), 180 feet (55 m) wide at the base, 21 feet (6.4 m) deep and about 1 mile (1.6 km) in length. The quarrying created both the Britannia Terrace site at Porthmadog and the railway workshops site at Boston Lodge.
The site at Boston Lodge first held barracks for many of the 150 men working from the Merioneth side on the embankment construction, together with stables and smithies for the horses and wagons used to carry the stone. Later with the coming of the horsedrawn Festiniog Railway, the stables and smithies were brought back into use from 1836 onwards and there has been almost continuous development of the site for railway purposes since that time.
In the years from 1847 to 1851 the Works was considerably developed by the construction of ferrous and non-ferrous foundries, a pattern making shop, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter's shop, and an engine house in which a steam engine provided power for machinery in a sawmill, pattern shop and machine shops. In the 1870s further construction provided a paint shop, joiner's shop and erecting shop in which in 1879 and 1885 the double Fairlie engines Merddin Emrys and Livingston Thompson were built. Prior to 1915 the works employed about 30 men.
During World War I most of the works was used as a munitions factory (largely staffed by women) from 17 September 1915 until early in 1919. The fortunes of the railway and its works declined from the mid-1920s with total closure from March 1947 to September 1954.
The works reopened on 20 September 1954, since when many of the original buildings have been extensively repaired and their usage altered. Machinery has been updated and modern materials and techniques have been introduced. Additional workshops have been built as well as new locomotive servicing facilities and carriage storage depots. The works undertakes the restoration and preservation of the railway’s historic locomotives, carriages, wagons and features of all descriptions. It also builds new steam locomotives and passenger carriages, and undertakes the ongoing maintenance of the Ffestiniog Railway's expanding fleet of railway vehicles.
In 1977, Boston lodge works undertook the design and installation of oil-firing equipment on the British Railways locomotive "Owain Glyndwr" on the Vale of Rheidol Railway. This was probably the first of numerous outside contracts that the works has undertaken over the years. These outside contracts have included restoration work on steam engines and the complete construction of various replica narrow-gauge passenger coaches.
In December 1998, a £375,000 Heritage Lottery Fund Grant was awarded to the FR Trust and this provided, amongst other things, for the construction of an extension to the carriage workshop at Boston Lodge to form a ‘Heritage Centre’ that would be a permanent home for the restoration of historic vehicles in a secure environment. Restoration to a very high standard has included most of the surviving Ffestiniog Railway Victorian era passenger coaches and a carefully selected rake of about 50 slate wagons representing most of the variant types characteristic of the local slate operations.
From 1993 onwards Boston Lodge works has undertaken extensive locomotive restoration work for the Ffestiniog Railway owned Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon). Recently the works is undertaking the construction of new passenger carriages for service between Caernarfon and Porthmadog.

The first Royal Navy Wildcat Attack Helicopter undertakes its maiden flight at AgustaWestland in Yeovil, Somerset.
The Wildcat has a more powerful engine allowing it to be flown in extreme conditions all year round. It is also equipped with a more robust fuselage, a high tech interactive display and a new radar system that provides 360 degree surveillance.
Wildcat HMA Mk2 will carry Sting Ray torpedoes, a door-mounted 0.5 inch heavy machine gun and new light and heavy variants of the Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon Missiles.
Expected to perform a range of tasks once in-service, the Maritime Wildcat Attack Helicopter will be used in anti-surface warfare, force protection and counter-piracy. It will also be able to carry out an anti-submarine role.
