Great story! I used to live in Sheepshead Bay and own a CBR. The words just transported me there in an instance. Thank you! There should be a Moto Race on the Belt in rush hour, see who survives.
Your chart's a little confusing. You should use a line plot as opposed to an area plot so things get obscured. Also, I like how the tick marks on the horizontal axis correspond to map locations along the ride route, but I'm not sure how to read the vertical axis. You have quantitative measurements like "speed" which never go below zero, and then there are qualitative measurements like "pain" and "weather". For example, I'm not sure whether a high pain rating means you are comfortable (positive=good, qualitatively) or in pain (positive=high quantity thereof). Same thing with "weather".
Roll over each individual variable up top, I think that'll solve the confusion.
The vertical axis directly corresponds to each variable. High pain = painful, low pain = not painful. Make sense?
Moto GP Race on the Belt in rush hour I love it.....or we can always play Bikers vs. highway2 thats always lot's of fun!
The graph is sort of confusing(almost poignantly melding "pain" and "natural beauty"), but sort of neatly categorizes the blur of a pleasurable experience.
I always enjoy these.
cony island isnt run down wtf we have the nicest beach in the country
I love the graphs, but agree with Eli that perhaps you should explore some representations that don't obliterate each other. Lines instead of filled in areas is one, another is to use circles of varying colors and diameters scattered across the area. In that case, you might be able to scatter that circles across the background of the entire page...
Roll over the squares above the graph, David. Thanks to this being the internet, the graph is interactive.
