Kinda sorta of like NASCAR.

On occasion some EMI makes huge changes to the Bluetooth link on my bike. And you should see the numbers that puts out!!! No motor needed!

Apparently it’s already been used. Impressive technology.

Saw the 60 Minutes story this weekend - after fast forwarding past the 20 minute pro-refugee public opinion propaganda piece.

The idea of these miniaturized motors have been around at least for 5-6 years. And caused a LOT of controversy when they were discovered a few years ago. It appears UCI officials may need to start carrying magnetometers to find these new forms of cheating.

They make it sound like it’s tough to detect magnetic fields when it’s the easiest thing to do.

If I am not mistaken professional bikes are xray’d before the start and tagged.
I’ve been mistaken in the past though the only person who knew about it is dead. ;)

I remember a post from a guy that complained about his new "magnetic-technology" water meter not working right after he got his first bill after the installation.

The water works guy comes out, they shut the main valve off in the house, and go look at the meter. It's still running.

The WW guy remarks "It shouldn't be doing that".

"No s---, Sherlock", was the response.

I think the house may have been a duplex, and the two meters were close to each other.

Not a bad scam for the WW, you get charged whenever your neighbor flushes, showers, etc., and vice-versa.

Saw that on tv last night and noticed how they focused on Lance Armstrong without ever admitting he’d done it. Tried to tell FR about him years ago but got flamed for the effort.
