I've been lurking around soaking up information so it's probably time for me to give up some. :-)

Real name: Laura
Where do you live? Atlanta, GA

Explanation of your handle: If you've ever seen the Bugs Bunny cartoon Transylvania 6-5000, you'll understand.

Explanation of your avatar: It's a tarapanda on a block of tofu. The tarapanda because it's cute and the tofu because I'm vegan.

Age (general or specific) 42, the answer to the ultimate question for one whole year!

Occupation: sit on my butt in front of a computer doing web stuff

Favorite bike: haven't a clue but probably something lighter than what I have

What's in your stable? 1994 or 95 Specialized Hard Rock. I've got a Terry touring saddle on it, a rack and basket on the back. Just changed out old nobbies to Continental Travel Contacts. Seem to ride smoother and handle the crappy roads around here pretty well. Also, I'm really proud of myself for changing them myself. I no longer fear a flat on the road. Changing is a piece of cake!

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I have no idea.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I stuck a pic of my on my profile. Oh, here's my bike. And my curious dog.




What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I wouldn't know where to start! ;-)

Most memorable moment on my bike: Back in the day when I used to ride in San Francisco, I tried to jump a curb, it looked so easy when other people did it, and ended up flat on the sidewalk.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Still working my way up to this one. Mostly I want to get comfortable enough to start using the bike instead of the car sometimes. Within 5 or 6 miles there's just about everything I need. Well, work is more like 10, but everything else. I also wouldn't hate it if I lost some weight.
