Another second here for Garmin + SportTracks.

I have had the Garmin Edge 305 for nearly a year and it's great. Though i've now got 2 "not completely functional" cadence/wheel speed sensors which I need to deal with.

SportTracks caches the google map tiles locally too, so even if your offline you can still see the maps for the areas you've been before (assuming you do alot of riding around your normal area).

And for sharing data online, Garmin Connect (formally MotionBased, and now free) is really good. It lets you show off how awesome you are.

Frederick A. Hall, vice president and general manager of the ferry company was unrepentant, however, and said that the threat of arrest over three pictures showing children with fries and the food counter was justified because "there have been past incidents where possible acts of terrorism have been threatened." Clearly, this can only mean that terrorists are working on Weapons of Fat Destruction, which pose a grave threat to the American Way."

An anonymous reader writes "A fleet of icebergs is heading north from Antarctica and at least one has reached New Zealand, an event that has not occurred in decades. While not necessarily a consequence of global warming it is very cool!"
