Cool, well done Gilby! You could be the richest person on here, but you choose to spare up from pop-ups... a choice many would take differently to say the least!

Very Cool Article!
What is that interesting looking vest contraption you are wearing?
Hydration vest? I like it.

Awesome Gilby!
For anyone who is feeling on edge today, don't read the comments on that article.
Here are two that made me spit.
A pity...
I surely appreciate his charitable contribution of the Tinyurl service, which I use all the time. But if he WERE to put a couple of advertisements on the tinyurl.com website, maybe he could afford the other half of that bike!!
Great service, lame bike
TinyURL is 'huge' in terms of allowing websites to be transmitted over texts, IMs, Twitters, and such. Great idea and hats off to him for not selling his soul for a buck...yet. ps. Unicyclists are passionate about attention, it's like they need to prove something and draw attention to themselves. Just go get a Huffy dude.

Very cool article, not so cool comment. But what do you expect from a non-unicyclist?

You could at least put some ads on the home page...I agree that pop-ups would be going too far though.
