I'm Shay. I recently moved to Berkeley (Hills) from Israel.
I started cycling about 6 years ago, when I lived car free in West Jerusalem, and found out I'm starting to take the very long road home, just to get some more time in the saddle. This made my buy my first real road biking, and later racing (or rather, wheelsucking in races) for a couple of seasons.
The move to the US was quite stressing (as I suspect moving halfway around the world usually is), which forced me some time of the bike. So I'm both slow and don't really know the roads around here. You're welcome.
