It must have been the wind.

where the hell is matt?

Matt Harding, in his original dancing video, flails arms and legs in a dance so ingenious it frightens giraffes, annoys dogs, and inspires children.

The only appropriate follow-up to a phenomenon like this is to do it again, right? So, with the help of a sugardaddy sponsoring his travels, he circumnavigated the globe again — and of course, he danced all over as well.

He’s just released the new video today. Check it out over at wherethehellismatt.com or watch it below.

Perils For Pedestrians: Durham, NC

or have your doorstep delivered to you. Who says moving means leaving your house behind?

solar charger for portables

Finally, a portable solar charger for portable electronic devices. And it’s not unreasonably expensive either.

Charging your iPod, cell phone, or digital camera from one of these exclusively is a great start towards a sustainable digital lifestyle. Plus, when traveling internationally sunlight is easier to come by than the right AC converter.

The manufacturer claims that the Solio charges as fast as an AC charger.

In case you didn’t see the relevance of that last post to a website that’s primarily about cycling, this video should make it clearer.

Fat Tire Festival

TORC’s first ever mountain bike festival was an awesome success. Camye Womble, the event organizer, did an incredible job gathering CAMPO, Durham’s BPAC, SORBA, Subaru, NBC 17, and just about every local bike shop in the Triangle area.

Held at Lake Crabtree County Park, the field near the lake served as the landing area for the crowd of nearly 200 people. With space to practice log-hops and skinnies, riders kept themselves entertained between organized events.

The local chapter of the Mountain Bike Patrol (of which yours truly is a member) lead four group rides (two beginner, two intermediate) for more than 80 people. Most of the folks on the intermediate rides were experienced mountain bikers but wanted a chance to ride with others for perhaps the first time.

Folks I rode with and talked with came to the Festival from Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Greenville, Fayetteville, and even a couple from Charlotte.

The centerpiece of the day was a demonstration of aerial elegance. As Farris, Nic, Craig, and Alex dropped off the 12ft high structure as though it was a curb, most of the folks around me whispered disbelief.
