Hello From Eugene Oregon

cycling has been a significant part of my life for the last 15 years. Ever since I was in high school. I started long distance touring at age 18 in Washington State. When I moved to the south I switched from a road bike to a mountain bike and I would commute to work on my bike. I was often confused with Mormon Missionaries, and consequently had a few close calls with cars trying to run me off the road.
I still enjoy cycling and mountain biking both. It seems to me that I don't fit in any specific category in the biking genres, except the guys that enjoy it all.
I now work for a custom strap manuacturer called Strapworks. they are very supportive of those of us that bike to work.
Fortunately, no one tries to run me over here in Oregon.
