| Name: | David Gordon (Dave) Wilson <dgwilson@mit.edu> | |
| Age: | M 68.9 | |
| Mass: | 75 kg (165 lbs) | |
| Size: | 1816 mm (5'11.5") (cm. aren't allowed in SI, right?) | |
| Bikes: | Avatar 2000, Wold-Delaire recumbent tandem; Ryan Duplex recumbent tandem; Regular tandem, not much used nowadays; Pocket Bicycle folder; also in the stable: the Wilson-Willkie modification of Fred Willkie's Green Planet Special II (made to my sketches); Avatar 1000. | |
| Rides: | 8000 km/year. Used to ride 16,000 km (10,000 miles) a year. Now ride a 26-km round trip each work day, plus weekend and vacation rides, so I'd guess that I do 8000 km, 5000 miles, a year. I've had at least 15 cycle-computers, not one of which has lasted a year, so I have to guess. The 16,000-km years were measured on old mechanical Lucas cyclometers. | |
| Where: | Mass, USA and on into New Hampshire, Maine and sometimes Vermont, New York (recent AIDS ride there). New Zealand (South Island tour three years ago.) | |
| Works: | at MIT | |
| Likes: | hiking, biking, tennis, engineering, old music, being married to Ellen | |
| Climbs: | Mt. Washington, the Herzfellen (?), I'd guess that I was a 4, now a 3. | |
| Crash: | not surveyed | |
| Beard: | Couldn't grow one when I tried many years ago. | |
