That's a pretty sweet idea but here is a better idea: a site that automatically determines your ZIP (and lets you change it). So basically NOTHING on a page except of:

98023 | 97F | 36 C | "Refresh" button

and maybe an ad or so.

I'm sorry but your design is bad. It has many elements that shouldn't be fucking be there.

In the future, ask yourself: is this bike, which blocks a half of page and makes the essential fucking text less readable, necessary? Is this blue gradient, which slowly gets darker and turns into dark blue right when there is a fucking piece of essential dark text, that necessary? Are we still using Word-fucking-Art to make logos? The text is unreadable.

What the fuck does the "Need to know what your commute has in store?" mean? My first impression: bike + commute + store == a site that gives info on what stuff stores sell as I'm riding my bike on my daily commute!

Also, it's "ZIP code" not "Zip Code" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_code) because ZIP is an acronym and we do not capitalize second (or any not first) word in written English. Bothers my eyes.

Verdict: awesome idea but bad design.

I hope this helped.

Thanks, that was actually extremely helpful.
