So that's bicycle, skateboard, scooter etc. Problem is that these also have motor powered versions, but if you just say vehicle, people will think that you mean cars or something. Also, you can't search for those powered versions collectively because what would you put in the search bar, "motor powered, human powered vehicles"? If you just use "powered vehicles" all results are cars.

I am putting together information regarding common suburban vehicles. I have a list of vehicle categories with several vehicle examples in each category. For example:  SUV   Ford Explorer Jeep Wrangler   Sports Car   Mazda MX-5 Toyota 86   Super Car   Chevrolet Corvette Nissan GTR   Truck   RAM 2500 Chevrolet Colorado   I would also like to add a combined category for non-powered vehicles such as skateboards, bicycles, scooters etc commonly used by children. I'm not sure what exactly to call this category though. I don't really like "non-powered vehicles" because it tends to have a negative connotation which the kids using them won't appreciate. I'm open to slang if it is relevant, but it does not necessarily have to be slang. Any suggestions?

Based on , someone posted a link to pic of the larger collage of ships the question was based on.    What is the ID of all these ships? Some are quite easy of course, like the Millennium Falcon, USS Enterprise and the TARDIS. But I'm not sure of all of them.   Can someone put numbers on the ships to make the identification easier?

I was solving some combinatorics question and I came upon one I've been trying to solve for 2 days and I'm curios how to solve it.  It is known that in every set of 15 cars, at least 3 were manufactured from the same country (there can also be another 3 (or more) cars in the set which came from another country). prove that in every set of 100 cars, 15 were made manufactured in the same country.  Thanks to anyone who helps!

I'm moving to a city where I can ride a bicycle to the grocery store, coffee shop etc. I want to purchase a decent used bicycle. I'm leaning towards a bike that's in between a "10-speed" or road-bike and a mountain bike. What should I look for when choosing a particular bike?  I've never purchased a used bicycle. Other than classifieds (e.g., Craigslist), what types of places can I look? What other issues should I consider, such as size, visual appearance, leaking tires, etc.? How can I make sure it's not stolen?

Search for ,        ,                        and you will see that "results found containing __" is just a little too close to the header. It's not like there isn't  to have it be a little lower, closer to "Search":          The UI has been updated since I took the above screenshots, and the text you search for is  (which fixes another design issue but not the one in this question):

I remember there was a thread here on English.SE this month where someone explained this, but I can't remember how it was called. An example:     Where have you stolen this product?   This question implies that you've stolen this product, although I don't know for a fact you really did.

I have read both but not sure which means what?     There are many such products available on the market.    There are many such products available in the market.    Note: I'm pretty clear about using on while describing the product availability on the Internet where in does not sound okay to me.

When you are the one steering the motorbike/motorcycle, are you driving the motorcycle, or riding the motorcycle? I am asking because someone tried to correct my status update. Here's my status and the comment:  Today, after 6 years, I drove a motorcycle on a long route. Great Feeling. Loved it! Comment: you don't drive a bicycle or motocycle... You ride a motorcycle... You drive a car...  Is that right?

Yesterday when I was biking my mountain bike on level paved path, I would pedal but get no power to the wheel.  To use a car analogy, it was as if I had the clutch in and was apply gas.  It seemed to happen most often after I coasted and then went back to pedalling.  I would pedal and realize that no power was going to the wheel.  The chain was definitely on the sprockets and moving. I could change gears no problem while I had no power.  Sometimes stopping the bike and starting again would work, or just trying again.  Needless to say, I'm taking it in as I'm not mechanically inclined, but I'm hoping to learn something.  Perhaps a link to a site that explains the problem?  So my questions.   What is going on?  I have heard of something called the "freehub".  I really don't know how bikes work though, so I'm hoping for an explanation of how one can pedal and give power to the wheel and then stop pedalling and the wheel just keeps moving (without the pedals moving).   If you are on a ride, is there any emergency adjustment to make?   For what it's worth, it's an old bike.  Circa 1993 Performance Mtn Bike.  So it's not too surprising that it's falling apart.  I haven't used it a whole lot, and have tried to wash and oil it, but I probably haven't taken the care that a biking aficionado would.  Also, besides losing power after coasting, one time I was pedaling and suddenly the pedals weren't powering the wheel.  I almost went over the handlebars!  So, I definitely want to get it fixed.  I'd just like to know a little bit about what is going on.  Thanks,  Dave.  Bonus question:  If there is enough info to make a diagnosis and you have ideas on costs to fix, perhaps you could comment on whether it's worth fixing.  Like I said, it's circa 1993 and cost about $450 then.  No shocks or anything.  Just 21 speed Mtn. Bike.

Recently, . Therefore, one of our illustrious members sought out an Amazon link to a clock that would solve all of animuson's needs. And this happened:    It's huge. Like, screen-shatteringly huge. It even prompted :     Why are Amazon one-boxes so huge? Someone write up a feature request to decrease their size. Sheesh. - animuson   ... and :     why are amazon products one boxed in the first place? - jmac   Therefore, we should decrease the size of these helpful thingys. Please?

Today Derek Muller posted a video about a  that can go downwind faster than that downwind itself. The vehicle is custom made for that case only: the case of going straight downwind. The vehicle has three wheels, I estimate about 5 meters from front wheel to back wheels, and and a two-bladed propellor is mounted about 5 meters up. The mechanical connection between the propellor and the wheels is such that when the vehicle is rolling forward the propellor is moving air from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle is as lightweight as possible for its size, so it's quite flimsy. This is definitely not a practical device, it is a proof-of-concept device.  In the video Derek himself indicated that he was not quite confident that he understood the physics of it. I anticipate that questions will start coming in on physics SE, so I present this case as a self-answer. How can this vehicle, when going straight downwind, go faster than the wind itself? Previous question about that vehicle:

There's a new popup helping you with searching, but one of the hints is wrong:    Searching for  will return answers as well as questions, and it's not the number of (up/down)votes which counts, it's the score. Better would be "posts with a score of 3 or higher" or "questions and answers with a score of 3 or higher".

I am in need of a word to describe an old, bad conditioned car that is yet still running.   Ragged came to my mind, but it seems to be inappropriate for things not related to clothing. Wrecked is also not what I'd like to use.   However, this shall be used in a work of literature, so a neat paraphrase would be fine.

What is the name for these type of images? I love these kind of graphics and it's so flat which totally matches my current product development.      Do we have a name for it? A name will make it easier to search for examples and how to's.

I was going to ask , but I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to do it (asking and building).  Now my question is: why is it (usually, if we leave the silly high-end prices alone) more expensive to build a bike from scratch?

I already heard Americans use the term "mobile" for "cellphone" -- which I thought was chiefly BE -- and so I wish you could tell if such usage of "mobile" has any currency in GAE?  Unless it might be called a "mobile" by Americans outside of the US or frequently traveling to Europe.

I was reading the news on Yahoo and found a mistake (as per my opinion). I need your valuable feedback to make sure if it was a mistake or I am wrong! It is a paragraph on Yahoo. Please check and let me know.  On Yahoo:     There has been a shift of power, control and decision making from the   parents and elders of the family to the individuals themselves. That   is not saying that parents and the family is not involved in the   decision, but there is much more emphasis placed on what the   individuals want, what they are looking for and who they will be   compatible with.
