BTW the 'girlie handlebars' are a very intuitive way of dealing with familiar flight controls - just wouldn't work the same on drop bars or straight mountain bike bars, don't ya think?]]>May 20th 2008 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/

When I read the headline I figured he'd show it off at near ground level, in a city with 3d buildings turned on and textured. That would make for a much more impressive, and somewhat unique, way to browse Earth.]]>May 20th 2008 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/

Well I've watched the video three times now as I'm reporting on it and I still don't get it. What's up Engadget? Is being ambitious and proud of one's unpaid work a proof of being arrogant? He doesn't say his bike is a revolution, just tells us it has generated lots of ideas in his mind... and so what? At the time when users and amateurs and encouraged to generate content and create new devices themselves, I find this comment pretty inept. I might be wrong though, and I might not have understood something, so feel free to let me know why you feel he's being arrogant! ^^]]>May 20th 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/May 20th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/May 20th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/diyer-uses-mountain-bike-to-pedal-around-google-earth/http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/vr-bike/

It was pretty fun to make, and I really like the idea of using Google Earth for something similar!]]>May 21st 2008 2:31PM
