MTB blog

Writing about web page http://chocolatefoot.co.uk/

Nice MoveableType-powered bike blog. Some cool freeriding / jumping videos (although half of them don't work for me because I can't find the divx codecs for my Mac), and some nice XC articles.

And, he has an entertaning article about the cons and cons of lycra shorts for mountainbiking. Note to self: buy baggy shorts asap.

    Don't try and get the DiVX codecs for Mac – they suck.

    Instead, download the VLC media player, which supports most of the commonly used Codecs, including DiVX/XVID. link

    Cool – thanks. Did you just teach safari to open all AVIs with VLC, or did you do something cleverer to use quicktime except when it can't manage?

    Neither I'm afraid. I hate it when browsers open stuff automatically and so save AVIs to disk and play them back. Actually, right now, there are some really good reasons – security vulnerabilities – to not allow Mac browsers to automatically launch stuff. Check my blog for some links shortly.

    Hell yeah. and a big bike (well, ok, big for me; I R XC JEYBOY after all). One of these days I'm going to have to take the plunge and get down to Chicksands with it – although given the rate that people seem to spang themselves down there, I think I might wait until winter so it won't matter so much when I break my legs.
