[hpv] BikeCode 0.1

[Tony J Ibbs, Tibs]

Fresh from the department of the insane with too much time on their
hands, for all those (are there any?) who feel that we've been missing
a Geek Code of our very own, I am proud to release the first publically
available version of the BikeCode. You too can use cryptic character
sequences to expose your inner (bicycling) soul to the world.

Anyway, it's all David Martin's fault for his Theory of Big, which is
what started me off. And, by the way, **it's a joke** (please, let it
be a joke!)

I'm still after examples to illustrate the (mis)use of the thing, and
am particularly interested in working out codes for Dave Larrington,
Rolf Mantel and Rob Hague (although I can probably fake the last)
as giving a "good range" (for some sense of "good" and some sense
of "range"). Of course, if they're mad enough to do it for me...

2 wheels good + 2 wheels good = 4 wheels good?
3 wheels good + 2 wheels good = 5 wheels better?
My views! Mine! Mine! (Unless Laser-Scan ask nicely to borrow them.)

Yes, I know you said it is just a joke, you indeed, I think, prayed it is
just a joke ... but do you know who long it takes to read the explanation for
the BikeCode at the web site? As one who rides an "ordinary," a Quadracycle,
a recumbent and an upwrong, oh, can you imagine how much I'd like to expound
upon my own personal "BIG" factor in the BikeCode?

And, NO, I haven't attempted to BikeCode who I am and what's in my garage.
I'm going riding instead. (Well, maybe later, its 2:00 a.m. in Chicago and
raining.)
