Hypothetically, if you had 2K to spend on a bike, would it be better to get a carbon bike with a lower spec groupset, or an alloy bike with a higher spec groupset? By the way, I rode my first 100 kilometer ride this week, and on my clunky hybrid too:

Sure thing, can you post an image of what it should look like? Also, does anyone have expereince implementing UMMU with Artlav's SC3 converter? I can't seem to make the UMMU appear at a dock, despite defing the docks in the .ini. Rather, it appears at the centre of the mesh.

When I'm riding I'm constantly frustrated by motorists, but when I'm driving I find myself making the very same mistakes. The state government here gives out free stickers you can put on your car's mirrors that say 'look for bikes' - I'm going to add these stickers now! Something more positive...

Bradley Wiggins struck by motorist, suffers broken ribs: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/nov/08/bradley-wiggins-witnesses-shock-collision

Ah, I'm a bit behind on these developments, thanks for pointing this out. I have had some problems switching between graphics clients but I don't think this has anything to do with the add-on. I've sent a message to Axel, so hopefully he can talk about the new config numbers here. He can...

Sorry, still plugging away, but nearly there. Deepstar has a greatly improved config thanks to Axel, and is dll based now, thanks to Artlav's converter. Which means ... Deepstar in D3D9: Deepstar in D3D11:

Status update: I'll try to get the stop-gap version finished over the weekend. I've had a few small issues with mesh optimization which have held me up, but it won't be too much longer.

On the theme of gruelling efforts, check out The Road to Roubaix if you can:

Thanks everyone. You could call it that. I like to think of it as an Orbital Service Structure. Either way, it's nice to start a mission by undocking and finish with a rendezvous right? Yes I will. I can't say when though. I work when inspiration strikes, which, like an Italian earthquake...

Just so you all know I retain an interest in Orbiter beyond Brighton Lounge :) I had said I would have a new version uploaded upon my return to Australia in September. A combination of real life and an inevitable creative urge to add new elements once I got going (as shown above) has held this...

Thanks! Link sent. :)

This might sound silly, but could you use an exercise bike in the interim? I recently got a pro-form exercise bike (not the high-tech tdf one) and I've found it's a great solution for bad weather days and helps me warm up before a ride too. You're right. They should mention that intelligent...

Nice ride! From your videos it seems like you have a lot of good quality roads in the greater Houston area with relatively low motor vehicle traffic. I'm jealous! Here in metro Melbourne we have a good network of sealed trails and bikes lanes, but the road traffic is heavy and a nasty...

Game over for Armstrong. The UCI has backed USADA all the way saying, 'Armstrong has no place in cycling' and stripping all seven TDF wins. They're going to make a decision on Friday as to who gets awarded the wins. Here's an interesting take on that: Who really won the Tours de Lance? Of...

I rode with the Edge 500 today. I'm really pleased with the cadence sensor and HRM and found that data really interesting to analyse on strava (good heart rate, mediocre cadence). :) But I lost the satellite signal at one point and it took a while to reacquire it. It held long and lat data on...

Congrats! I recently started using Strava and found it to be a huge motivator. I started with the android app, but I've enjoyed reviewing my rides so much that today I went out and bought an Edge 500 bundle (with cadence sensor and HRM). I'm looking forward to testing it out.

The Australian investigative journalism program 4 Corners has broadcast a pretty compelling piece, 'The World According to Lance.' This features the first broadcast of sworn depositions given back in 2005 and some interesting new interviews with big names...

As someone who has defended Armstrong, including here, I feel torn by this. My position was influenced by the SBS/NBC commentator Phil Liggett who has always shown skepticism towards the claims. I feel the evidence is much stronger now however, especially with Hincape's testimony. Hincape had...

Ouch! I almost had the same experience in central Melbourne once whilst riding alongside tram tracks (streetcar rails), so I have some idea of what you must have experienced. Get well soon.

Vale, great man.
