I signed up here back when I rode a Surly Pacer. I moved on to a different bike, but I haven't figured out how to change my user id on here.

In college, I used to tell my boyfriend (now husband) that I had been a 'busy bee' at work. He has a habit of translation english sayings into spanish, which turned into abejita occupada...the 'abejita' (little bee) part has stuck for the last 12 years.

I'm not named for drugs, really! This was not my first bike but my first "serious road bike", a '97 Trek 420, green to purple fade paint job. Previous bikes were a Raleigh 3 speed, then a Gitane, then a Mercien ... I'd gotten it a year or so before joining here. It was lifted from inside my home shortly after joining I hate bike theives! So if you see it out there hold the crook down while you PM me.

Too bad it's a 50 cm and a good thing I'm broke because here's my namesake even in the right colors.

The good news is that if it's the wrong size, it's not your bike.

I thought I had responded to this thread, but my story is so boring, I guess I didn't.
I originally was using my real name on TE, until 2-3 years ago, someone I used to work with 20+ years ago found me by searching my name and it came up on a TE thread. This isn't really awful, in light of Facebook, etc., but I decided to change to a screen name. I really couldn't think of anything original I liked that hadn't been taken. My IM screen name is Crankin + my first name (which I chose because I couldn't think of anything and Crankin + DH's first name is his IM screen name), so I dropped the first name part from Crankin. I guess it would i.d. me as a cyclist, even though I am not particularly "crankin," in terms of speed.

That's true.
