Making stuff happen
The Webcycle
Details
It's a handy way for internet addicts to get fit: the faster you pedal, the faster your internet goes. The fitness possibilities are wonderful.
It's an exercise bike, with sensors on the pedals, connected to an Arduino and a laptop running Ubuntu with wondershaper.
Serious kudos to Matt Gray — he did all the tough hardware hacking, I just got the software working. And provided the bike.
