My weight fluctuates a lot, so on any given day i can be between 195 and 210, but usually just over 200. At 6'0" i don't look huge, so most people put my weight at a lot lower than it is.

I was a collegiate lacrosse player up until this last school year, but i can't continue due to the overwhelming time commitment, and personality conflicts with teammates (in fact nearly half our team is not returning due to the same personality conflicts) I had only biked commuting to and from class, which, when you have to deal with people on beach cruisers that are barely able to keep from falling over, requires the right mind frame to enjoy, and until i spent a few weeks commuting through downtown SF and much of Berkeley did i realize that i prefer the beach cruisers to SUV's on cell phones.

Additionally, my days were incredibly hectic, and the only peace that i really could get was riding my bike between activities. In the pursuit of peace i figured i might as well just keep riding, and so i have.
