About Us
So, JP and Bruce are on the phone one day talking about biking. JP is in the process of buying a new ride and they’re talking about the finer points of component selection. JP suggests “Hey man, we should do a ride at DefCon”. Bruce hears “Hey man, we should do a ride TO DefCon”. Bruce gets very excited and starts planning a cross country ride to Vegas. A few days later, JP realizes there’s been a miscommunication and talks to Bruce again. They decide to do both.
That’s basically how Cycle OverRide started. Bad listening skills and two guys with a little too much ambition (plus Heidi’s skills at organizing big events involving geeks) and we ended up with a cross-country riding, fundraising, security-focused adventure.
And the name Cycle OverRide? It’s an homage to Hackers Teh Movie. Hack the Gibson, baby!
Great review of the Proform TdF bike. After reading the section on hacking you clearly know your stuff! I’m really keen to see if I can hook the bike up to Zwift and wonder if you know if a way of doing this? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I would like to ask can we still go for a ride and bike rent for tomorrow 6am at defcon event ?
Here for Defcon. Thanks for being a part of it. Small request for future, to support the needs of some disabled, please consider renting out recumbant cycles. They are great for people with back issues and/or obeisity.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll let the bike shop know. We don’t have any control over what they rent out.
