Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? Speed demon I am not. I think I can break 18mph on my Nishiki but I've never tried to clock anything.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? https://www.dropbox.com/s/76kbo4kcod...ysupergirl.jpg I think that may work; it's me dressed as my alter-ego, Bike Safety Supergirl, for a parade ride that my bike advocacy group www.bikecleveland.org participated in.
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "That dress doesn't make your butt look big."
Most memorable moment on my bike: riding around Cleveland with 740 other cyclists for our August Critical Mass, the biggest group ride yet recorded for our city.
Most fun ever had on a bike? That would have to be the rides I do with my Taco Tuesday Coalition of Cleveland crew. Our mission: every Tuesday, find a place that has a great Taco Tuesday special. Ride to said location. Eat tacos. We're being sponsored by some of our regular taco joints next year in the Pedal to the Point charity ride for MS as Team Taco.
