[clug] bike sig?

[Robert Edwards]

Maybe a [b|tr]ike sig? I guess we should include other forms of human-
powered vehicles such as skates, scooters etc.? Of course, all such
vehicles must be non-propriety and open-standards based and we must
be free to add our own modifications etc. :-)

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
