Real name: Rebecca

Where do you live? Saint Paul, Minnesota

Explanation of your handle: I used to do a lot of rock climbing, and it's part of my gmail username. Didn't seem UN-fitting for a bike forum, but I'm NOT a hill climber on the bike yet!

Explanation of your avatar: Tried to put up a pick of my bike. We shall see if it works?

Age (general or specific): 36

Occupation: Editor

Favorite bike: Favorite bike that I own? My beautiful new Scott Contessa Speedster 15 that I just got a couple of weeks ago.

What's in your stable? Above-mentioned Scott, and a vintage (1960s I think) Western Flyer 5-speed with twist grip shifters that weighs about 45 pounds and is slow and clunky and falling apart but still awesome!

Fastest speed on a road bike? No real idea, as I have not yet acquired a bike computer, but I went down a big hill really fast and was scared. A little.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? At some point here....

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I don't have THAT much wool!

Most memorable moment on my bike: Just started road biking, so it's all memorable. But I do remember being a kid, and riding a kids bike that had the handlebars off center, and I tried to make the handlebars go "straight", which of course made the wheel turn significantly, and landed me face first on an asphalt path and took all the skin off my nose, forehead and chin!

Most fun ever had on a bike? My first road ride ever, last Saturday, was AWESOME! About 18 miles, in 36 deg weather, and it was just AWESOME! I LOVED it!
