Tronbike 1.0.3 Released!

Okay. The rain stopped, the health is good, the kids got a ride from mommy and it was time to release Tronbike 1.0.3!

I rode to work, then from work to go vote, and then back to work, and eventually home. I got the bike over 40mph on some stretches, and was able to keep with traffic with better acceleration.

I ran with the new HID light on and L.E.D.s blinking. The HID is good and bright, probably helps visibility a lot.

No issues with overheating were noticed, despite aggressive acceleration. I got more and more comfortable with the riding as I went along - I do forget to turn OFF the flasher a lot though.

33.4 - 25.8 = 7.6 miles travelled, 1.23 KW-Hr on the Kill-A-Watt. I will start a spreadsheet log of the rides.

I am still waiting for the new serial cable. It arrived in Oakland Jan 25th, not sure where it is. Bad mail service lately.
