What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I can't remember, which means I've either told too many, or I don't lie! (I'll let ya'll pick!)

Most memorable moment on my bike aka How I Got a Free Mountian Bike : When I first moved to Oakland, CA I had the battery in my car stolen 3 times in less then a week. I got a chain lock and secured the hood well. After a while I thought maybe someone was breaking into my car so I devised an alarm system...temple bell on the driver side window handle and diet coke cans along the passanger side door. One night my partner shakes me awake and tells me someone is breaking into the car, she heard the bell. I'm like no, its ok. Then I hear cans falling. I jump up and look out the window. At first I can't see any but my partner is on the phone with 911 and she can see them. Finally I see some guy with his legs hanging out my driver side door. I run out my apartment, down the stairs and I fly out the front of the building shouting 'Hey, thats my car!". Turns out it was 3 young men about 14-16 years old. I think I scared the beegeebees out of them...some crazy white chic in boxers and a tee, no shoes, hair going every which way. Anyway they run off all three trying to jump on one bike. I go down the steps to survey the damage....I see a mountain bike laying down in front of my car. I pick it up and put it on the steps. One of the kids comes running back, asking me really nice for his bike back. I let him know all he has to do is wait for the cops. Off in the distance we can hear the sirens, he runs off without his bike. I thought the cops would want it to get finger prints off. They were not interested and told me to keep it. I road it around town for a number of years. It was my first mountian bike. Not a bad deal when its free.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Taking the Road I class. It was the first time I've ridden in a group. It was a Women's class and was very empowering and full of information.
