Hopefully he actually publishes the plan and the software open source... I'd love to build me one of those (have to get a new bike just to do it, but hey, that would be worth it, right?)
BTW - the Popular Science link from his site has an illustration of what it looks like, and video of it in action...

Wow, my 4 favorite things in one place: bike, Powerbook, iPod, and anti-Bush sentiment. Thanks for making my day!

Man, that story was awesome-tastic!
Thanks for sharing that.... I did write on the guys blog and tell him he should use a Fixed Gear Bike to allow him a more constant speed and better control... although I am trying to picture what the purists would say about riding a fixed gear, stripped down and simple, with $5,000 worth of computer equiptment strapped to it. hahahahaha
thanks again!

If he goes to the Republican National Convention with his protest bike, here is the obvious scenario:
1. Begin spray sequence in order to exercise his right to free speech
2. Beaten down by cops who sight his weapon of mass bike-struction (hey, it worked once!)
3. Taken to Guantanamo Bay where he is never heard from again
4. The end
Sad, but you know it's true! :mad:

Did you know we now have "free speech" zones? Even at the Dem convention....it was a fenced compound with razor wire under an overpass. I kid you not. I'll bet the Republicans have something even worse. Dang, I thought the whole country was a free speech zone...oh, heck, that was before Bush & Ashecroft...
