Aww did you sell your bitcoins early :S


When MT-Gox accept it this should legitimise it either way...


It is on their TODO list but they don't have a date and it's not coming in the near future... so it's not clear if this will happen.


Awesome stuff mate, Ill post this on www.fb.com/yumveganrecipes if thats cool?


Totally cool! Please spread the word far and wide. :)


"Holy web slut" I think ill skip out on the business stationery with that one. However the title is pretty close to the truth.


You ARE PRESUMHNING I'M NOT TDRUNK!


AGAIN!! Always JUGINDG ME!


Bicycles are probably one innovative and competitive markets out there, the amount of cutting edge technology used to shave gram weight from components is absurd, there are thousands of manufacturers for each niche in the bicycle industry.

Somewhat unfairly, I consider the above as variations on a theme, rather than innovative new solutions.

Three problems I'd like to see solved (admittedly, with no idea other than "by magic" at present):

- It's absurdly easy to steal bicycles, locked up or otherwise.

- Trip statistics magic mentioned in grandfather comment

- Making cycling in wet/windy conditions more pleasurable without relying on special clothes


These are all peripherals for your bike though, I agree totally these areas need more innovation :) ESPECIALLY bike theft.

I don't honestly know about that, though; I can imagine each one of these being so integral to the bike itself that they simply couldn't be peripherals.

Agreed re: bike theft - but it also grates me that if I drive to the office, a sudden unexpected downpour makes zero difference to my life, whereas on my bike... wurgh.


Did you mean, this is to Motorbikes what Tesla is for cars? Isn't the bicycle already pretty damn perfect? I don't look at my bike and wish it could take petrol or was electric powered. There are tons of electric motor assisted bikes out there without the weight of a motorbike.


Releasing information as revenge for illegal detention is the wrong decision, why make it personal? Confront the illegal detention if it was illegal but don't make it reactionary and petty like this.


he's been taken way out of context. see other comments here.


Yeah at some point in history, maybe. Its easy to say that after being caught with your dick in my inbox.


Its an old one, but such a great article from Wired (which is a rarity these days).
