Real name: Margaret

Explanation of your handle: I'm a fiddler, of sorts

Age: b. 1940 (am I the oldest here?)

Occupation: retired nerd

What's in your stable? Winter: a frankenbike ('95 Mongoose frame, all sorts of kludgey non-original parts). Summer: '84 Miyata mixte-frame tourer.

Fastest speed on a road bike? I try not to go fast - I'd hate to break anything important.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Don't have any

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Everything I say is a lie

Most memorable moment on my bike: That very busy moment when I was about 12 that ended with me getting my face picked clean of glass, rocks, and dirt and the hole (from the handlebar--no grips) stitched closed.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Probably the times when I've had a flat road to myself on a warm summer day and have been able to pedal serenely along enjoying the scenery rather than worrying about traffic.
