Racing the Arch Way

Yes I've seen the thread about the Arch cycling jersey, but I didn't want to necro-bump too much, so I suppose I'll make a new one and if it gets merged, it gets merged  

I made this jersey on the dirt-cheap, as I only really wanted it for a couple of events I'm doing this year, so don't expect too much quality - I printed off some pictures (and logos), bought a cheap blue and white jersey online, and printed the logos onto it using some weird paste glue type stuff that you spread on the paper then weigh down on your fabric, and it eventually leaves the design behind when you peel the paper off. Had lots of fun modifying the Arch logo so it'd fit, but the GNU/Tux one didn't need any modifying besides flipping it over (as the printing process leaves behind a mirrored image!)

Re: Racing the Arch Way

I didn't realize until my second look that that's not a bicycle.  Really, a bicycle wouldn't fit the arch way.  Way to keep it simple: that extra wheel on bikes is just hardware bloat anyways!

Absolutely! This is one of the things that attracts me to unis. I love their mechanical simplicity. Maintenance is as simple as popping the wheel off the frame and checking the bearings are well-greased, and occasionally making sure the pedals are still working. There are no other moving parts TO go wrong!  

Unfortunately the uni I used in the picture is fitted with a handlebar, which adds a bit. But it's only a tube of aluminium bolted to the frame, so it's not like it's adding any real complexity

That is just a package from the extra repository. Other packages include lighting systems, bells and other whistles.

Re: Racing the Arch Way

I expected some discussion, this running on grounD and all. Also, it seems you've forgotten to configure mirrors.

Good luck with the races!
