Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

google maps pedometer

maybe you web junkies are fully aware of this gadget, but if not i thought i would share.
for anyone who, like me, dosen't like an odometer cluttering up the handlebars,
there's a nifty application for Google Maps that allows the user to draw your route and voila.. instant mileage.

i mapped out our ride from last monday.. anything after the stop at the bar is a fuzzy aproximation but it's pretty close.

Too cool - thanks for the link.

!!!!!!!!

That's even sweeter than the original. No more text files recording rides! I love all the gMap hacks being developed out there.

I just activated all of the pending accounts. Velo Novus works, mostly. I will be spending some much needed time on getting the site working *better* over this winter break. Grad school is a biotch, taking all my time and whatnot.
