+ infinity!
I am too much of tecnophobe to know how to download/upload (or whatever it's called) my Garmin to my PC
I constantly get my cycling ambitions mixed up with my abilities
I hate Campag and SRAM but have never riden a bike that has them
I hate fat people, especially when they are wearing lycra
I've never used a wind trainer. Bought one but never pulled it out of the box, sat it in my garage for a year and ended up selling it for $60 less than I paid for it
I love to smash Freds on my commute to and from work
I like Lance and respect him as a rider even if in the future it is proven that he has doped
I only use Continental GP400S tyres
I will never use Michelin tubes with my Conti tyres
I don't like Sidi shoes. Bought a pair and wore them on and off for 6 months but prefer my cheapo Shimano shoes

I almost teared up watching the movie E.T.
Almost.
Almost.

I don't repair/maintain my bike(s) I take it to a bike mechanic if it needs fixing.
I change tyres and tubes.
The most complicated job I've done is change a cassette.
I don't patch tubes I throw them out
I hate it when a girl beats me in a race

I don't know how to change gears (well at least I don't do it enough). I ride pretty much my whole ride in my second highest gear (46X15 or 16) and only ever use maybe 4 gears total.

After all, why else would someone wear mirrored glasses nowadays? Not in style anymore.

ok I have 2 but one is serious so I can't put it here but I will confess that,
While doing CPR on a guy the other night I was thinking how good a vanilla ice cream cone from DQ's would be.

I sometimes keep my head straight but turn my eyes sideways as I bury others.
I get totally buzzed on 1 bottle of beer.
I think pedaling faster makes me look faster.
I can not blow a snot rocket. It only streams across my mouth and cheek.
I'm asian and I like country music.

I don't want to go to college. I want to ride my bike.
I applied for a commuter college so that I don't have to dorm somewhere else...because I like the place I ride in.
I chose my bike over my girlfriend...i mean ex-girlfriend.
I told my parents that bike racing was a school project so that they'd help pay for some stuff and races.
I have a low weight but low power output so my climbing isn't as good as it looks like it should be.

If I don't trust her enough that I'm doing that, I'd say the relationship is irretrievably broken.
