Here's my "new" bike. The KHS that didn't work out is on Craigslist with it's own pictures. I added some SPD pedals - my first clipless... I like them a lot, but sometimes they really don't work-out well when city-riding! (I did get the dual-use SPDs so I can go old-school too.)
As to how I ended up going to college in Canada... do you want the long or the short version? How about the abridged version!!! here goes:
- Dropped-out of high school in 1987
- Moved to Toronto from Boston in 2003
- Married my Canadian wife in 2004
- Decided on a career-change in 2006
- Started "upgrading" my math & science skills part-time
- Began as a full-time student in 2007
For each of the above are a number of personal reasons, which I cut for brevity, but I'll detail the final line: I chose biotechnology because I want to work in research of childhood diseases (my son has muscular dystrophy, which was a big motivator).
Thanks for the welcome!
