Real name: Marie-Therese
Where do you live? Oakland, CA
Explanation of your handle: My first bike was a Moser and I loved it.
Age (general or specific) 35
Occupation: Professor of French and Arabic
Favorite bike: the one I have (Look 585)
What's in your stable? above mentioned Look and an Alite mountain bike that is heavy as the dickens
Fastest speed on a road bike? 59 mph
Another picture of yourself or your ride? Haven't figured out how to upload photos yet
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Hmmm, don't want to divulge
Most memorable moment on my bike: Believe it or not it was getting squeezed off the road by a truck driver in Morocco, getting horribly scraped up, getting picked up by a man and his son on a buggy pulled by a donkey, and having him kindly drive me back into town and wish me lots of children. Getting treated by the doctor afterwards was even more fun, and it involved wine as anaesthetic
Most fun ever had on a bike? Falling in love with my soon to be husband while lugging up Mount Diablo.
