Currently waiting for a severe thunderstorm which is already 1.5 hours late, was going to do something outside but decided not to because of it.
But let's face it the new computer was worth the £6 billion it cost

@Littgull and I cancelled today's ride because we didn't fancy being in exposed countryside 400+ m above sea level if the forecast thunderstorms came along. They didn't...
(We just went to a local cafe for 3 hours instead!)
Work in progress, they've made the pedals so far.

I've got a couple of those, a big one on the wall at home and a smaller one I take out with me and wear on my wrist.

Of course "methane" by that route gets a laugh - quite rightly. Fortunately it doesn't hang around too long

Methane gets oxidised to CO2. I forget the half life in the atmosphere but it's quite short compared to CO2 itself. Sucking enough CO2 out of the atmosphere sort of deals with the methane .........

Its about 20 years I think, but whilst its methane its about 80 times more "warming" inducing than CO2, but fortunately around in far smaller quantities than Co2.
there are plenty of other source of human produced methane including cow farts, which is around a third of it, but vegans beware, paddy fields also produce a fair chunk.

The "Flatometer" was invented and patented by the aptly named Colin Leakey (think two balloons and a tube up the bum).
He was interested in breeding beans which produced less gas, so came up with the Flatometer to measure gaseous output.

At least we veggies aren't responsible for millions of cows burping and guffing out far more methane than we ever do!
Hmm - scientists are working on a solution!
There's a tenuous link with bikes here: DSM produce a feed supplement for reducing methane emissions from cattle.
