NEW YORK (MarketWatch) â U.S. stock markets are closed on Thanksgiving. But the market has another reason to be thankful on Friday. Since 1992, stock exchanges have adhered to an abbreviated trading schedule the Friday following Thanksgiving. The key driver for the truncated session, which this Friday sees the market wrap at 1 p.m. Eastern time, is the ghost-town trading atmosphere that typically follows Turkey Day.
It takes less than 30 minutes to ride a bike 5 miles at a leisurely pace in an urban area. Riding a bike faster can take less time.
Stopping a motorcycle that is going 30 miles per hour might take around 33 feet. It's easy to conclude that stopping a motorcycle going 60 miles per hour will take 66 feet. Unfortunately, that's not the case; it will actually take more than 130 feet to bring the bike to a stop.
