Getting to Know You!

[Aesthete]

Real name: Jen

Where do you live? Savannah, GA

Explanation of your handle: So far decisions regarding my bike have been as much aesthetic as functional, so it's fitting.

Explanation of your avatar: I don't have one yet!

Age: 24

Occupation: Graduate student in architecture.

Favorite bike: As of right now I know very little about much else, so I'll just have to say my own, which is a 1975 Peugeot u-08 which my boyfriend converted to a minimalist single speed before giving it to me. He was bound and determined to strip it of every vestigial gear, switch, plate, and wire before gifting it. But much to his dismay, I have since tricked it out with a bell, old-school snap-rack, big rear Wald basket, and the original chrome chainguard thing that I ignorantly refer to as a hubcap. I don't know why, but I'm a fan of all of the bells and whistles. Streamers might be next.

What's in your stable? Just the bike mentioned above.

Fastest speed on a road bike? Goodness. I never ride very fast or far. At all. So maybe... 10mph?

Another picture of yourself or your ride? No...

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Hmm. No clue!

Most memorable moment on my bike: I'm sure this is yet to happen.
