What's in your stable? A no-name MTB for riding in the city and a Look 281 carbon (brand new, could you tell?)

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 42 kph on first ride on a triathlon bike. borrowed, years ago. I'm working on it again.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? not yet... working on it.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Fine, how are you?

Most memorable moment on my bike: Running into a poor tourist in the rain (almost at walking speed, he was fine)... and being fined 100$ for running a stop sign by a campus cop in the States. Oh no. now I know. this is gonna be long:

There's this bike lane where I used to ride home and there's parking places right next to it. Rush hour drivers would slooooowly search for a free spot wile cutting me off on my lane, so I decided for some guerilla tactics: a hard pat on the roof. no damage, huge surprise effect. well did HE get angry. He followed me and I had to zip into a small alley where he wasn't allowed. Phew. Never been home that fast.

Most fun ever had on a bike? If I didn't have fun, I'da stopped a long time ago... but getting real dirty on the MTB was one. And pretending my bike is a horse and I'm Zorro as a kid.
