Fastest speed on a road bike? Where? When?
103km/hr (64 m/hr) down a hill in south Auckland on the tandem in April 08. Silly speed I know but it is a country road with little traffic and good uphill run out and the long wheel base of the tandem makes it very stable (no speed wobbles).

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Nothing recent sorry!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told? Lots of little ones but nothing big.

Most memorable moment on my bike: Not a nice one but flying over the handlebars face first into a speed hump going downhill. I smashed my shoulder joint very badly and now have metal ware. My arm and shoulder are still recorvering 7 months later.

Most fun ever had on a bike: Coming third tandem in a 90km race in which we caught the previous winning tandem (they had a puncture) and held on to them at 45km/hr for 3km before they spat us off and came 2nd. They are a very fast and fit team so just holding their tail for that long was an achievement. It's so fun to go past people downhill on the tandem, especially when we are not pedalling and they are... the look on their faces!
