Explanation of your handle: Used to teach spin classes - gym members took to calling me Spinchick
Explanation of your avatar: Just something I thought was classy and bike related
Age (general or specific) 19 for 21 years now
Occupation: mom, organic farmer, horse trainer, spin instructor
Favorite bike: I want a Waterford
What's in your stable? Too many to list - I collect vintage bikes as projects. My road bike is a Univega Modo Vincere
Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 38 mph - going down a big hill
Another picture of yourself or your ride? I wish I did!
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I don't tell lies. (That was it!)
Most memorable moment on my bike: Riding my road bike through a pasture, came across a llama who proceeded to chase me. Hit a sand pit and did an endo. Mr. llama stood over me looking a bit confused.
Most fun ever had on a bike? See above.

Real name: Gus (nickname
)
Where do you live? South Florida

Favorite bike: I'm waiting for my first road bike to be delivered on Monday... I'm sure that that will be it! Until then, I'm on my MTB.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I'll let you know, when I find out!
Another picture of yourself or your ride? Don't have any...
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I can't lie- I always burst out laughing, which is probably a good thing, because it keeps me out of a lot of trouble.
Most memorable moment on my bike: Riding through London and Hampstead Heath, trying to outchase a thunderstorm, five years ago. It was on that BSA, which I had just bought.
Most fun ever had on a bike? Everyday that I come home safely.

*nods head* yup I've got 2 more bikes waiting for me up in CO that I gotta go get and I'm thinking - depending on what they are - I might convert one of them to a fixie for winter riding.
OH...and you'll Love this one: riding with a friend Sat, her on a custom Rod bike, me on the vintage Trek. Parked bikes for some coffee, guy comes in the shop and asks if those bikes are ours? Says he's not familiar with the Rodriguez to which my friend replies "it's a custom frame". He says "oh - well I was really looking at the Trek........."!
