Northern California - Explain your handle

Simple. The two reasons I love riding my bike. It's far and it's away.

I had considered Big Bird, because that's what I think I look like, with the big yellow jacket and black tights on my legs, which are long and skinny (I'm 5'7" witha 33" inseam.) But I didn't want to get into a copyright infringement thing with Sesame Street. Those Muppet's attorneys are brutal.

0_o = came form my old tag i used when I would play online / telecomputing back in the early 80's with my Vic20 and C64 computers hooked up to the accoustic modem and the commodore VICModem.

Back in College (UCSB '86), when I was a Poly Sci major, all I talked about was how I was going to run for Senate by 2004. I was so obsessed by politics that my friends started calling me Senator (last name starts with W). Went to law school, worked Clinton/Gore 1992, got disillusioned with politics and pay attention to politics only marginally. Ended up in house with a major Internet company.

When I first started biking, I was living in San Mateo, and there is this really good hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant there that I loved going to either on the weekends or my days off (I had quite a few of them, my job wasn't very constant). Anyway, my favorite dish was (and still is) sweet and sour pork. The cook is a very friendly lady, and has a very interesting story to tell (for another day).

So I just combined the two and came up with sweetnsourbkr. :D

Ah Pook is from a bit by William S Burroughs. My avatar pic is from the short animated film set to his words : http://youtube.com/watch?v=2C5XuylNFLo

I like WSB so much I put it on my Allroad

I'm bored at work, so it's time for a little thread resurrection!

Powpow is the nickname for the deep powder I used to snowboard while living in Jackson Hole for 6 years. It has nothing to do with cycling or explosions or prisoners of war and I have no idea why I chose it for BF:)

Bookman is obvious to Seinfeld fans: the library cop played hillariously by Philip Baker Hall. One my all-time favorite TV characters.

Joseph is my first name.

Well, my name is Lance and the car I always wanted was a Mach One. I used the handle LanceMach on a couple other forums, so I used it here as well. Side note - I did end up getting my Mach One (a 1969 4 speed), but sold it to my brother-in-law: my 67 Mustang Coupe is a LOT more fun to drive (that's the '67 as my avatar)! Still, the Mach One is one mean lookin' car! :p

I use to play alot of basketball back in the days (before my knees gave out). Eric is my formal name but people use to call me "Air Ric" I thought I would replace the "c" with an "x" to give it a little bit more jazz.

I picked my user name based upon a local delicacy from where I was born and raised.

Brake-On-In-Propulsion

nycycle,,,,,,,,,Swede for new bike,,,,, at the time the new bike was a Specialized FSR.,,,since I got an Allez.

I work in construction management, run and bike. Kind of verb-y for a noun, now that I think about it.

An old coworker of mine just started calling me piopio after some Japanese plush toy named Piyo-Piyo. It's a squat little yellow duck.

Well, I've got flat feet, I'm fairly squat in stature, and Pio is the first part of my last name so it stuck. Rpiopio.

Gee3 - Cuz I'm a shmuck and couldn't think of anything good back in my car forum days. So I just transfered the user name to every board I haunt. Ack!
