Turning his passion for cycling into a business, one that showcases the beauty of the local scenery, is among the things that Australian expat Leslie is doing in Tenerife, Spain. He tells us what he likes and dislikes about living in Las Canarias and gives some tips on things like the local job market and learning the language.
Read the FULL interview with expatriate Doc Brown
What is the revenge effect? Put simply, its nature’s way of biting back. Call it Karma, call it Murphy’s Law. Call it what you will. You’d be suprised at the negative consequences of our actions… I’ve read bits of the book “Why things bite back” and various books on chaos theory, and I’m inclined to agree. Take the following random examples:
In Why Things Bite Back, Edward Tenner introduces and explains his ground-breaking ‘Revenge Effect’, that every technological advance leads to a paradoxical and unintended consequence. As we complicate the systems which govern our lives, revenge effects multiply. Technology demands more, not less human work and vigilance. For every accute problem solved, a chronic problem comes up in its stead. New roads lead to bigger traffic jams. Antibiotic therapy promotes the spread of virulent bacteria. Pest control which spreads pests; exercise [over-training] which diminishes fitness; communication which impedes the flow of information: it seems as if the world we have create is intent on getting even.
I know it’s probably too late for everyone, but I’ve uploaded the 2007 cycle racing events calender. It is in pdf format & you can download it HERE. I’ll be sure to upload the 2008 calender of cycling events asap.
