Real name: Leila
Where do you live? Atlanta, GA

Explanation of your handle: I like the Lord of the Rings series, so it seemed to fit. Plus it's the name of a mountain range, so it seemed sufficiently off-the-wall for my taste.

Explanation of your avatar: FedEx dinged up my bike frame, so I took pictures in case I wanted to report it. I realized when looking for an image that it was the only bike-related picture I could use.

Age (general or specific): 19

Occupation: college student

Favorite bike: I actually think unicycles look wicked cool.

What's in your stable? Raleigh M20. 8 years and counting with this bike, I think. Yep, it is time to get some new tires.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Probably during summer of 2003, riding down a hill near Veneta, Oregon. Speed: who knows?

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Err...

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Lie? Me?... This evening after dessert with a (male) friend at a local cafe, I left a note on a napkin for our waiter implying that my friend thought he was quite the dandy. To be fair, the waiter was rather cute.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Crossing the last stream just before reaching the plateau of the 11,000-foot Shandur Pass, highest polo ground in the world.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Any time I ride it like a scooter. Wheeee!
