Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Does his robot mom know he is not in school? He's going to grow up to be a punk.

That is pretty cool. Now if they could add some gears, brakes and shifters and have the robot use those I'd be tickled pink.

We don't have MUPs down here, but I got the feeling (from others' descriptions of a MUP) this might be like certain riders on a typical MUP.
