Please everyone check out Diary of a Redheaded Cyclist for the utube of the couch bike.  Best of all is that the guy who made the bike rode across the country on it with a (scandanavian?) guy who had been his exchange student something like a decade ago–and they hadn’t seen much of each other since.  I want to have long lost friends who make couch bikes.

 Unrelated to biking, but possibly as useful in everyday life as a bike:  I heard on NPR two days ago that a gender neutral pronoun has entered the slang of baltimore high school students.  Instead of he or she, students use yo.  For example:  Yo is riding a bike.  Yo’s bike is better than mine.
