Time for The Tour de France 2012
It is only TEN short days until the Tour. I know, I usually don’t post much in advance, but I have to remember to actually get my cable ordered so I can sit in the early morning hours and watch it. Although, this year, for the first time, I am contemplating watching it online. Let me know if you have any suggestions.Watch it

Jogging Drone Suggests Biking Drone Coach
I was reading about RMIT geeks creating a jogging drone stalker on The Register.
You can find out more about RMIT’s Exertion Games lab: http://www.rmit.edu.au/exertiongameslab
Eberhard Graether is a visiting researcher from Austria, working in the Exertion Games Lab at RMIT. The Joggobot project explores how robots might make jogging more engaging in the future.
Skip that nonsense, picture this as your biking coach. This thing accelerates up a hill and takes you with it, or tries to. Just playing with the sound track would be cool. What will be next?
Dr Mueller said that the lab is focused on the “merging of ‘play’ and the active human body, drawing from research streams such as interaction design, human-computer interaction and games research. The culture in the Lab is one of interdisciplinary work fostered by creative scientists, designers, artists and engineers from all over the world."

Suspend Your Bike From a Wall Using Old Handlebars
This is a great use of an old set of handlebars, Kudos to Kyle Wilson for a no frills/straight forward guide for those of you looking to make your own wall mounted bike hanger but don’t feel like spending a bunch of dough. -
Brompton U.S. Championships 2012
I just purchased a Dahon. Then I realized there were Folding Bike Championships for Brompton’s, another brand of folding bike. Nice article on UrbanVelo explaining the LeMans start, the Folding competition, and more. Now I have to find a Dahon Championship and practice folding. I think I am safe on clothing, Dahon owners have to be considered less persnickety about dress.

DIY electronic shifting
DIY electronic shifting
If you want Di2 on your bike, but you don’t have an extra few thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket, Computer Engineer Nabil Tewolde has a perfect solution for you. His DIY electronic shifting system is, for the most part, made from parts found at his local hardware store, electronics shop, and hobby shop. Sure it could use a bit of refinement from an aesthetic standpoint, but Nabil points out that this electronic derailleur was part of a larger project to build the ultimate bicycle computer, which you canread about on his blog.
He has posted an Instructable and thre is more, read the article at bicycledesign
