How many of those bikes are functional? Well lets say I have at least 8 frames. I know, I know. I need help.
What was your first real bike? If I answer this question truthfully, I will incriminate myself and no longer have an excuse to keep buying bikes. Answer: Still looking for a real bike.
If we had the budget to make rider cards, which we don’t, what animal would you pick as that best describes your riding style? A pink Pegasus!

Favorite moment as a cyclist? During my second cross race at Winchester Apple Cross when I was in first place for a lap and thought to myself OMG I am doing it I am winning! Then promptly was passed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
What’s your favorite book, movie or TV show? Total Recall, “YOU’VE GOT WHAT YOU WANT, COHAGEN! NOW GIVE THESE PEOPLE AIR!”
