Quicklook preview in Finder and Bike files

Bike .bike files are really .html files with a different file extension. Unfortunately QuickLook doesn’t seem to understand this and so doesn’t generate previews. Eventually I need to figure out the problem, or maybe generate my own previews, but that’s low priority at the moment.

  2. The default HTML doesn’t look the best. There is some work in this thread to provide a better CSS preview and instructions for how to use it: Bike format Goals
