I really enjoy seeing how you demo the features of Bike. The design is really thought out and you do a great job of communicating how it works in simple terms. (I'm an indie Mac/iOS dev myself, so I'm going to take pointers on how you present your innovations!)

I find AppleScript very useful for this. I script the text input, menu items, and timings like this:

menuItem("Format:Bold", 0.2)

type("Efficient")

press("⏎")

Good suggestion. I always forget AppleScript exists.
