I'm re-posting this as it affects all of us with an internet presence (which is probably all of us!). Should commercial interests decide this is a good idea.
What do you do for a job
This comes from a discussion that we had at Terrey Hills Tavern over a beer last night.
My Job is to preserve animals(previously i worked on human bodies) by removing the fat and water from the specimen and replacing it with silicone rubber. You end up with a firm dry specimen that can be handled. it looks and feels a lot like a plastic object but it is the real thing. Examples see here:
Ride of Silence - Sat 24 May
This seems a bit appropriate given last weeks events:

Update: Entry in ride calendar here.
Below is some spiel from the Canberra outfit, but just as relevant here:
The Ride of Silence is held yearly in cities across the world. Riders are encouraged to wear armbands: black for everyone, or red for those who have been injured by motorists.
The Ride of Silence aims to:
- remember those killed or injured whilst cycling on roads.
- raise awareness of the need for all road users to respect one another and to use roads in a considerate manner.
- promote the importance for cyclists and motorists to obey the road rules.
- remind the community that cyclists are ordinary people who have a right to safety on our roads.
WARNING...Road contents
I apologise for the non-MTB content, but some of you (you know who you are - not you Liam!)train on the road and can probably give me some good advice on buying a second hand road bike. It's going to be a little brother for my mountain bike...
First of all, does anyone know what FELT bikes are like? I saw a second hand one (see link). What do you think?

What components do I need to watch out for (i.e. what not to buy).
Thanks

Torture Implement?
This kindof looks like a bike, but I think not... what sort of torture implement is it?!
One of many silly machines found in his gallery:

Seems this was ridden by Bruce Bursford, a dude who holds a record or two, particularly for riding on rollers:
