Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I'm no speed demon, and I don't have a bike computer to tell me how slow I'm going.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I used to race, but I was never any good at it. I'm glad to enjoy going on bike rides and seeing the world from a bike-perspective.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I guess I've repressed it.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I biked through France for one month when I was 15. I remember going up and up a hill in Brittany and coming over the peak and laid out in front of me was the most beautiful, mysterious, misty landscape that I could have imagined.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I love discovering new parts of Washington on my bike (of course, if I lived in Paris, I would like that even more)
