Has Japan designed the world's best bike shed?

I saw this last week but the Guardian online's Blike Blog (which was also a nice discovery) has featured a video on it.

The computer tagged, theft proof, clutter proof 'mechanical masterpiece'.

I was thinking that while all that stuff is nice it might inspire more to ride their $5k carbon road machines into the city where at the moment because of theft fears they might not.

Do you think these guys argue like a couple with an Ikea flatpack?

Five tips to avoid downfall by social media | Article | The Punch

... I saw this video used for another spoof and it was very funny but I cannot remember what it was for.

This article is for political operators but could be the same for media. I guess it comes down to the access to tools. A few years ago it was tricky to edit video and do things like add subtitles but with cheaper simpler editing platforms available for home users (not to mention editing apps available on iPhones etc) and a host like YouTube is it no wonder some people lose their heads (as in get excited and lose their jobs)

Zoom around Town - A new site for finding cycling routes

I know cycling in Adelaide is pretty basic but sometimes when I need to go somewhere I have to think about what might be the best way to get there. Is there a cycleway? A bike lane, can I cut across the parklands, is the river better and where it the exit?

This Zoom Around Town is in its infancy and when it grows it should be interesting. It'd be nice to see it with some added user tips in pop ups as well.
