Well, it doesn't include me. :-) My bicycle commute is now up to 15
miles per day (round trip) but it would be pointless to meter me given
that I hit so many stoplights on the mean streets of Bethesda.

But this does look cool, and the guys who blow past me on Bradley
Boulevard will probably really, really want this.

In other news, I had sufficient frontal cortex to turn down the offer
of a free Blackberry today. That sort of thing just ruins way too many
lives around here...
