Thanks Matt, good find... Interesting that the original prototype included the steering function, whilst that's only really being introduced now as a new feature- Dave, Dan and I trialled it on Monday, adds a very different angle to virtual riding, I'm sure they'll develop it further. Not sure about the speed of the fan being linked to speed you're travelling- not much use for long, slow climbs when you need it most..?
