Favorite bike: don't know since I'm so new to this.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Have no idea what the speed was -- still need to buy one of those accessories -- but it was coming downhill on Montebello Road (Cupertino) last Sunday.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Hm, I'm not very hip to this bulletin stuff...

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: The Tooth Fairy forgot to visit my daughter one night. I told her that the Tooth Fairy must've been very, very busy and she would definitely make it tonight but, that she ought to write her a note to make sure she knew there was a tooth waiting for her.

Most memorable moment on my bike: The good one -- reaching the top of Montebello Rd. The bad one -- falling in front of Starbucks, falling in front of my daughter, falling... well you get the picture.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Hard to say since I've only had it for a couple of months. I have fun everytime I ride it. I feel like a kid again! Wheee!
