Is BikeGremlin a reliable source of information?

I was inspired by a thread on the BikeForums.net forum to think about this and write the article:
Is BikeGremlin a reliable source of information?

I think it's a topic worth discussing, especially in terms of corrections and improvements.

The answer is YES! Period! No, not period ... exclamation points!!!!
Compare to a site that people depend on for important genetic information about themselves, their mate, their offspring. That site is 23andMe.





Percent DNA Shared by Relationship

Relationship	Average % DNA Shared	Range [1]
Identical Twin	100%	N/A
Parent / Child Full Sibling	50%	Varies by specific relationship
Grandparent / Grandchild Aunt / Uncle Niece / Nephew Half Sibling	25%	Varies by specific relationship
1st Cousin	12.5%	7.31% - 13.8%
1st Cousin once removed	6.25%	3.3% - 8.51%
2nd Cousin	3.13%	2.85% - 5.04%
2nd Cousin once removed	1.5%	0.57% - 2.54%
3rd Cousin	0.78%	0.3% - 2.0%
4th Cousin	0.20%	0.07% - 0.5%
5th Cousin	0.05%	Variable
6th Cousin	0.01%	Variable

So, this important site tells you that you share about 50% of your DNA with a brother who is not your identical twin.​

Now look up how much you share with a chimp.​

"Humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA. How can we be so similar--and yet so different?

So put a chimp on a bike and we'll have real SCIENCE!!!
