:-) Just in case somebody is thinking Darren just spammed us - this
briefly came up at last nights meeting.
Having a quick look, I see, the trick is that the wheels are constant
width, but the bike design does not use a 'central' hub, but instead
the frame rides on the tops of the wheels, and hence does not bob up
and down (as you might expect on first thought). Weird.

I enjoyed the meet last night. We talked a little about Docker and
containers, but mostly about other Linuxy items and stuff.

According to my calculations the next 'last Monday of the month', and
hence meeting, will be April 27th. Do we concur?
