You might feel a slight front-end vibration, slight.

front end handling wouldn't matter as you could sweep everything out of your way.

Just what I need. ONE more thing to focus on while riding a fixed gear.

Without the right headset that thing won't be accurate. Thats all.

What's the best way to mount one of these on your bike: http://www.rivbike.com/#product=31-377?

"Small enough for bike touring (there's the connection), and in many cases, it's more useful than a knife."

good idea for a video game eh?Yes, I've fantasized about creating a video game or movie based on the Spike Bike (http://www.danenet.org/bcp2006/spike.html) stories.

[In the year 1998, one man fights the tyranny of the automobile]

I heard it before I saw it. An ancient Cadillac convertible was closing very quickly from the rear. There was nothing ancient about its electronics; at least 1000 watts of amplifier power screamed raunchy C&W from god knows how many speakers. It sounded even worse for the doppler shift; he was doing at least 100. That was stupid. He would try to clip me in the side, because people in snazzy cars always try to clip me in the side, and at that speed, he wouldn't be able to maneuver. I feinted to the left when he closed to within a few hundred feet, then cut right abruptly when he'd committed himself. He missed me by a good four feet. As he roared past, I opened up on the tires with my MAC-10, shredding them. The Caddy swerved crazily, rolled over twice, and slid off the road upside down. Crazy as it seemed, that godawful music was still blaring out from the wreckage. I fired another burst into the gas tank, and the racket stopped as the wreck went up in a huge ball of orange flame. The driver's Stetson hat lay in the road perhaps 50 feet away, virtually undamaged-- unlike the driver, who had no further use of it. I emptied the rest of the mag into it, chasing it down the asphalt, cutting it to scraps. Sure as shootin', I was in Texas.

I'm Spike Bike. I hate cars. I don't care much for C&W, either.

Not sure how it would affect front-end handling but it might get me some respect out on the road.
