Getting to Know You!

[janey_826]

Real name: Jane
Where do you live? Detroit, Michigan

Explanation of your handle: Well, the "Janey" part is pretty obvious. The 826 is the number of miles I rode in 2005. I was really proud of topping 800 so I thought I would put it into my name. I don't know what I will do if I am able to top 1000 THIS year. Guess we will just have to wait and see........

Explanation of your avatar: Sometimes, when everything is going just right, I feel this fast.

Age (general or specific) 45 but when I am riding I feel 25.

Occupation: Law Enforcement

Favorite bike: What ever bike I am on (normally a Bianchi CDI)
What's in your stable? The CDI and a Trek singletrack for off road.

Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 43 MPH going down a big hill on decent blacktop near Brighton Michigan, about 3 years ago.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? I don't know how to put any pics in here.....


What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I can't remember. I TRY not to tell them but, well, you know.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I was riding in the city with a friend who was VERY impatient and didn't like to wait for red lights. I refused to go through a red so she waited for me. When the light turned green for us I pushed hard on my pedals. My chain slipped off and I was thrown over the handlebars and onto the road in the middle of a busy intersection. IF I had done that against a red light with 60 MPH traffic coming at us I probably would have had to deal with more that a slight concussion. Everytime I come to a red light I think of that accident so I NEVER ride against red lights.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Just about any time I am riding with a really tight group. I LOVE the feel of being part of something bigger and faster than myself.
