Now this is how bloggers ought to meet!

I posted on this over at my other blog (Bird's Eye View) but I'm so charmed by this invention that I wanted to talk about it here too. A fellow named Eric Staller (apparently Dutch) has come up with a way to keep meetings fun and healthy! The Conference Bike is an idea that deserves more attention. If one of the news networks ever wanted to do a political panel show using bloggers, this seems the perfect venue. "Today, two laps around Central Park with our guest the Majority Leader..." Afterwords there can be an argument over who was pedaling hardest and who was loafing, and over who gets to steer the next time. Perhaps, instead of debates next election we could have a race between the candidates teamed with their chief advisers. Imagine the competition to get Lance Armstrong's endorsement.

You know, this bike would be perfect for John Kerry's summit meetings!
