Welcome to Speed of Bike at Posterous

Well folks I have enetered the next level of geekdom with an account on posterous.com.  It allow me to update multiple sites with one entry.  So I will give it a tray and see how it goes.  I appreciate you being part of the experiment!

New Human Powered Vegicle

Yesterday I test rode the prototype of a new Human Powered Vehicle (HPV). Named ElliptiGo it uses an elliptical trainer motion to drive the read wheel. So you ride in a standing position, looking much like a Segway rider while shushing your feet forward and back.

It takes a few minutes to adjust to the new set of muscles and movements, but it really does cruise along pretty well. Production models will be out shortly so I will have a chance to ride one of those too. I'll put up a picture of me on the ElliptiGo a bit later today.

I am back to posting here

It has been awhile since I have written here. So with a major cross country ride coming up, this is a good time to start preparing everyone for what's to come. One piece is a new website called MapMyRide.com which has its own Iphone application. So here is the map of my ride today.
