Real name: Polly
Where do you live? Midlands, England

Explanation of your handle: My Mum gave it to me :0)

Explanation of your avatar: This is me at the start of a 2hour+ descent in Switzerland last year.

Age: still in my 30’s but only just!

Occupation: Teaching; Cover supervisor

Favorite bike: mine – Titus loco-moto, it's absolutely tiny and bright pink!

What's in your stable? The titus, a Juliana cushtail and a SS made up of leftovers that looks like a garden gate!

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? I hate riding on the road – got about 32mph coming down the ‘no brakes’ trail in Verbier CH – got very scarey! But usually I am very slow, just plodding along enjoying the scenery – taking pictures

Another picture of yourself or your ride?



What is the biggest lie you've ever told:
Um, someone I know thinks I have a degree in English literature – he assumed and I didn’t correct him!

Most memorable moment on my bike:
Probably last year when I plucked up courage to go over a particulary rocky section where I had seen an accident previously – I cleared it, then fell off spectacularly 2 secs later! Also riding in snow (see avatar) I sang jingle bells even though it was August


Most fun ever had on a bike?
The first day of my holiday a couple of years ago with my husband and kids – watching my daughters (8 and 10) clear a trail that I had thought might take all week for them to master. The skies were a beautiful blue and scenery was amazing

Some pics of that holiday are here!
