Favourite bike: don't know enough to have one

What's in your stable? Canondale Adventure 500

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 26kph crossing the Burrard St. bridge on the descent, if my cateye can be trusted. Oops, I mean 15kph as per the speed limit.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? sorry, not at this time.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Can't remember. Short term memory works both ways.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Stopping to help another commuter tighten her handlebars. I'm sure I saved her life.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I'm not a real adventure person but riding handsfree around a number of street corners for the first time was kind of exhilerating.

I have a bunch of questions but will attempt to find the right forum for them. Woohoo!
