		<title>Bike routes now on Google Maps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Google Maps has now added biking routes in the US. The feature differentiates better roads for biking, and bike routes without motor vehicles. It even tries to avoid steep slopes!

I can&#8217;t wait until the feature reaches the UK. I&#8217;ll be getting a bike then for sure. I also live in the vein hope that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>New bike!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been trying not to gush about it for weeks, so I have ended up not posting much at all. I have a new bike.

 

It&#8217;s a black, 2010 Kawasaki ZX-6R. I had added a Scottoiler with dual injector, R&#38;G bar end sliders and&#160;R&#38;G Aero crash protectors. I also have an&#160;R&#38;G tail tidy and&#160;R&#38;G [...]]]></description>

		<title>New bike ordered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I wasn&#8217;t going to write about it on the blog until I have it, but I couldn&#8217;t help myself. I have ordered a brand new, 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R in black. I am super excited about it. It will be the first new bike I have ever owned, and it&#8217;s been my dream bike [...]]]></description>

		<title>Effect of not wearing motorcycle gear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


AtlasRider is a very experienced, very respected biker in the vlogging community. This is a great video that shows how nasty a 15mph crash without gear can be. You don&#8217;t need to see lost limbs to be scared into wearing gear and treating a bike with respect.

		<title>A humbling experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



A huge shout out to&#160;Nick&#160;who had a pretty bad off on his &#8216;09 ZX-10R SE recently. As he put it, it&#8217;s a humbling experience. It&#8217;s great to hear good riders are willing to air their mistakes in public &#8211; it happens to everyone.

Anyway, thanks to Nick for sharing, glad to hear you are okay and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really, read this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t want to make this blog a list of links to things I like. There is a list in the sidebar and over at my Google Reader page. Still, this one was too good not to post. It&#8217;s everything I have been trying to say since the Launch of the iPhone in 2007.

I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple and Multi-tasking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Many people consider the lack of multi-tasking on the iPhone a &#8220;killer&#8221; blow. Over the past days even more people have said the same about the iPad. I have to disagree however, and as briefly as possible, here is why:

I believe multi-tasking is a myth, as the wonderful Merlin Mann would say. You can&#8217;t actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>A different kind of Apple speculation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With Apple&#8217;s announcement only hours away, there has been plenty of rumour and speculation as to what will be unveiled. Though not from entirely trustworthy sources (viz. outright laughable), some of the rumours have caught my attention for their angle, if not their content.

Instead of specs and pics, we are hearing about how Apple may [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the quickest method of text entry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have spent a couple of days considering if I should write up a decent blog post about this, but instead I think the link talks for itself. An interesting (if not entirely scientific &#8211; I am sure Blackberry users will point this out) study of text input speed.

I have long said I can type [...]]]></description>
