What's in your stable? Specialized Allez Sport, purchased post Katrina from a shop that drowned, but the bike didn't;
Breezer 3 speed, purchased while I was evacuated during Hurricane Katrina;
Ironhorse (with a cracked frame, haven't gotten around to parting it out yet).

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 33mph, downhill; hills of Mississippi on the MS Tour for the Cure last October.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? my other hobby is the Society for Creative Anachronism, where bicycles haven't been invented yet.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: we won't go there...

Most memorable moment on my bike: hoping I wouldn't crash while I was going 33, 'cause I knew that would really hurt.

Most fun ever had on a bike? riding on the levee, in the spring, after work. The weather is perfect, and I've just escaped the office. Felt like a kid going out for recess .
