I will also have to amend my personal history as a BMX racer. I will add an asterisk to my credits indicating I was not a real cyclist during that period of my life, and the long rides I also took on my BMX bike, as well as local commuting did not qualify me as a cyclist. A double asterisk will be added to indicate I did not wear a helmet while riding on the street, but did wear gear to race.

I'm not clear on whether it's riding a BMX that's disqualifying or using a BMX for transportation without gloves. I'll get back to you after my Magic 8 Ball gets back from the shop.
