OT, but cycling & Flying Lizard / Patrick Long fans may appreciate autoBlog.com's "Bike Magazine loses pedal power in favor of Porsche power:"

All competitors started out on bikes, and then proceeded to pedal through a lap of the track. After that, it was time to hop into a variety of Porsche vehicles and set gasoline-backed lap times. Since Long is a ringer behind the wheel, he was saddled with a Panamera loaded down with the rest of the competitors.
The amusing event was captured on film, and we'll be good car guys here and tell you that the best motoring action happens towards the end of the clip. Click past the jump to check it out.
