Hey everyone,
Here is my introduction to let you all know a bit about me.
I have always loved bikes. I , as most of us, atarted young with tricycles. I really started to gain an affinity for them though when I had to take the bus to get to Middle schol. You see, for some reason I don't seem to mesh too well with allot of people. I really do like people though, it just seems as though I'm on a differennt wave lenght or something. That's a big part of the reason why UI just don't get why more people don't like utilize bikes more often to get to work and schlllo and run arrands. I'm sure so many of you have been stared at when you tell a co-worker that you rode 10 (!) miles to work! WHATTTTTT!!
Anywho, I really hated to ride the bus, because of the stagnant air in it theat seemed to smother me almost by the time I reached school. So, I started to ride my bike instead. I remeber that acouple of the students remarked tht I was always the guy riding past the bus in the morning, goig fasted than the bus! From that point, when I was 21, I lost my driviers licence, and had to get to work. I started riding. I really didn't know if I could make the 2+ miles that it took to get there, but eventually I really started to think nothing of it. From there, a coulpe of years later, I rode the TORSV, in OHIo , my home state, it's a 210mile two day ride! YEOW!
I now collect bikes abit and have just completed restoring an old COLNAGO SUPER, all friction gruppo, beautiful burnt red paint and nice crome. I found a gret source for N.O.S. parts. It is AMERICAN CYCLERY in San francisco. Great guys and they know a lot.
I also have my main bike, a 2000, TREK, 520,which I love. I bought on a pro deal from the bike shop I worked with at the time, RINCON Cyclery, here in Santa Rosa CA. Man this is a cyclists heaven out here.
I also have a 2001, Cannondale M-400, SoBe, promotional mountain bike. Coolness. I ahve two Schwinns, a three speed recer, from the 60's I think, and a sky blue 5 speed collegiate,which is my wifes.
Well, for now, that's me.
Nice to meet you all!
