| Size: | 6'3" | |
| Bikes: | Custom built S&B with homemade fairings and a Rans mesh-back seat; 10 year old son has a BikeE | |
| Rides: | 4500 km/year aprox. Hills, hills and more hills. 40+ miles a week during the "off season", 60+ miles when I'm commuting. Rides alternate from 3 to 4 mph in a 18" gear to "fast as you dare" descents, with maybe a few minutes of flats. 6 to 7 rides a week. | |
| Where: | Cardiff by the Sea, California, USA | |
| Works: | Interactive Media/Game Designer, Technology, and Manager; also write for magazines (Interactivity) | |
| Likes: | Building stuff for the bike (fairings). Eat, sleep, family, movies (winner of "name that clip" at my office), books, games. WHAT COMES NEXT: try to commute as much as possible as soon as we spring foward "the clocks", maybe experiment with human/electric hybrids? Favquote: If you think your bike can't climb well, you won't. | |
| Climbs: | 7 out of 10 (I can clumb as well or better than anyone I've met at my size, and often keep up with smaller riders, but get someone who weighs less than 175 and rides the same hills I do and they will beat me on the steep stuff) | |
| Crash: | None on the recumbent, other than falling at a stop. Flipped uprights a few times. | |
| Beard: | No | |
