Oh, no arguing. I just wanted to put across that the lean is a major factor, like it is for turning in several other sports. However, based upon simple physics, on a nonlinear surface, shifting the center of gravity will cause motion in that direction. If you kept everything straight and leaned, then you'd turn, but not a lot before you would have to curve the bars to compensate for the shift in center of gravity.

Oh, and a PSA: Wear your helmets, kids.

Most all road cyclists know that the real "meat" of the turn is leaning. Hop on your bike, get some momentum, and just lean in one direction while keeping your handlebars straight. You turn in the direction of the lean. For some nifty countersteering, quickly throw the handlebars in the opposite direction of the lean and see what happens...

Minutes/Seconds/etc. in terms of positioning don't really refer to time. Those are measurements dealing with geometry, specifically, circles and spheres. As best I recall, they're either based on degrees or radians.

It's all in perception. What you're saying is akin to saying that the only wavelengths of light that exist are in the visible spectrum; if we can't see the others, they don't exist.

We perceive movement in three axes through space, one axis in time, and who knows how many in probability.

Time is an illusion. Lunch time, doubly so.

I hope the kit comes with a suit and a spaced-out looking smile mouthpiece to wear. The good news is, they can easily just re-skin this and instantly have dozens of other boring band editions. I'm looking in Weezer's direction here.

Make a GWAR edition, Rock Band, and then we'll talk...

You know, last time I checked, people still used their (smart)phones for things other than GPS services. Add to that the fact that most GPS screens are quite a bit larger than the average phone screen, and you get a huge reason to continue to manufacture standalone GPS devices.

First, it's "triathlete", not triathloner.
Second, the point is not to have something that resembles a Bond watch, but to have a piece of equipment that can aid in training and preparation. Garmin's line generally performs well.

No one's forcing you to buy this. If you have an issue of where you think the money is going, build one yourself.

I think I'll just stick with my Jawbone.
