Essays on Denver

It is one of the ironies of history that the “old west” was actually the last area of the north American continent to be settled. By 1860, for example, San Francisco, California was a booming city of 56,802 persons making it the 15th largest city in the nation (San Francisco Population). Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO). These three communities are important since Denver and Kansas City represent the western and eastern ...

 Why professional bicyclists have recently been descending hills at greater speeds.

Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum.
