Lotek from the characters of the same from the William Gibson novels (both neuromancer
and Burning chrome). Also a reference to my affinity of tubed audio gear.

My commuter bike is a Breezer. I'll let you all guess what color 
I came up with the name when I was originally setting up my aol acount. I wanted to use something with my motorcyle instead: an '88 Honda Hawk GT. Well seems every possible
comibination with the word hawk was taken. Flustered, I pushed away from my desk to think of something and saw my Breezer leaning against the wall. The sun was hitting it just right so the green was really bright. Thus..... greenbreezer! ta-dah!

I went to Cal (B.A. History, '89), home of the Golden Bears. Oso is Spanish for bear.

Seanholio... after the Great Cornholio. I was a fan of Beavis and Butthead back in the day, and I picked up the 'nick back then since my name is Sean. It has stuck with me.

I started working out at the healthclub 1.5 years ago and just love it! I have added spin to the mix and am in the process of buying a road bike. I am now "fit" and am single. -- hence "Fitmiss"

My first bike was a Dahon Piccolo and may name is Steve. Since I didn't think the forum software would put both together, I used a period in between to keep them together.
I've come a looooong way since that Piccolo to a new Bianchi Eros.
