Describe your Inner Biker...

In a paragraph or so...

I am the Black Ninja Stealth Warrior Biker. I commute for about 90 minutes (total) every day from +35C to -35C. All my gear is black, but to be legal I have front and rear blinkies and some reflective tape. I ride as hard as I can all the time and hate to stop for anything. I consider traffic signs and signals to be suggestions. When downtown I ride aggressively like a courier. I challenge vehicles, but am very courteous to peds. On the bike paths I ride like a racer. If someone passes me, the race is ON! When I get to my destination I am always soaked in sweat. I think my 2 MTB's are truly cool (way sick?) but I don't spend too much money on them either. Just enough to make them run sweet. I see a few others like me out there and we sorta acknowledge each other. I've been commuting for 4 years and I'm 48. When I'm riding silently at speed through the dark before dawn by the river - that's when I'm loving life.

I'm not trolling and don't want to hear about how bikers like me piss you off - I want to read about how you perceive yourselves as bikers.
