I've been told by my aunt (Trek420) to introduce myself, so here goes:

Real name: Eli
Where do you live? currently in Essex, UK

Explanation of your handle: that would be my mom's fault. She gave me the nickname of Eliphant back when I was born and it kind of stuck.
As it happens, my mom is Bikeless in WI.

Explanation of your avatar: what is an avatar? (I'm a newbie)

Age (general or specific) 30

Occupation: would like to be an ecologist if I could only finish my PhD

Favorite bike: the one I just bought a few weeks ago (see next question)

What's in your stable? Specialized Tricross

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I managed to find a hill big enough just south of here where I got up to 30mph. Essex is a very flat place.

Another picture of yourself or your ride?

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I'm terrible at lying. Tried it once when I was 7, but confessed a few hours later because I felt too guilty. (I'm sure Bikeless in WI can tell you more about that story)

Most memorable moment on my bike: The lie I told at age 7 involved a bike accident in a place I wasn't supposed to be riding at the time. Must have been memorable as I still remember it.

Most fun ever had on a bike? I've had lots of nice bike rides.....through the snow in the Norwegian mountains bonding with my dad....cycling to Hell with my dad....
