 Bicycling Exercise Physiology
This general theory is supported by the even more general evolutionary view: that physiological processes have evolved toward efficiency because animals that are efficient in their use of the resources available to them are more successful than those that use their resources inefficiently.
Rides of over 480 miles in 24 hours and of over 200 miles a day for extended periods are known, and I have participated in a ride of over 100 miles and 7,000 feet of climb a day for more than a week -- a ride in which the participants got stronger and stronger.
The gear-selection theory, in particular, is wrong because it doesn't consider length of ride or variability of conditions, both physical and competitive.

 Extreme Ride Theory
I kinda' agree with the Scientist's data, mainly because, when riding certain rides, like the Texas Giant for example, the beginning of the ride composes of a long, slow creep to the top right before the biggest drop.
During this time, the customers heart is in extreme suspense, awaiting the long drop, just toying with their mental emotions, causing a rise in chemical flow through the brain, which raise other chemicals in the body to be active, causing the heart to beat faster, pumping blood furiously throughout the body.
However, during the ride the heart calms down once the brain realizes that it's experienced the scariest part of the ride(most of the time, it's always the beginning) and begins to stabilize the bodies chemical imbalances giving you a calm like zen during the ride, with smiles, no doubt, on all the faces...

It doesn’t roll off the tongue like ride the tank, but it does have the advantage of immediacy - Dukakis rode out of the zeitgeist not long after he lost the 1988 election.
With the one exception being Truman’s successful Whistle Stop Campaign (and perhaps Hannibal’s elephants), this is obviously an action fraught with danger.

 Queueing theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classic queueing theory involves complex calculations to determine call waiting time, service time, server utilisation and many other metrics which are used to measure queueing performance,
For queueing theory, it has been found convenient to work with probability distributions which exhibit the memoryless property, as this commonly simplifies the mathematics involved.
Often, although the bounds do exist, they can be safely ignored because the differences between the real-world and theory is not statistically significant, as the probability that such boundary situations might occur is remote compared to the expected normal situation.

 The Toronto Times - The Ride Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Starting out back in 2002, The Ride Theory were barely old-enough to play anywhere but a few local haunts, considering that many of the members were still in high school at the time.
Deciding to get back to the analogue studio method that seemingly worked out very well for many musicians before them was, according to Kuchmey, an attempt to capture the band's robust live energy and to find that "warm feel" in their tunes that they so desired.
As for the material that made up this analogue based exploration, a lot of it is based around how inspired The Ride Theory is by the ever expanding Hamilton music scene.
