Brand new to TE... Well, lurked a bit, but just recently got a new bike after not having ridden in YEARS (maybe about 20 or so... yikes!), so here we go...
Real name: Jen
Where do you live? Salem, NH
Explanation of your handle: Kurt Vonnegut fan and also two kids in the house... it's DEFINITELY a monkey house here.
Explanation of your avatar: I love Curious George... the bike seemed fitting.
Age (general or specific) 35
Occupation: Software Engineer
Favorite bike: My only -- a Raleigh Tess
What's in your stable? See above. :-)
Fastest speed on a road bike? Hah! Haven't ridden since high school (or junior high), so I have NO idea. Just trying to get used to riding the mountain bike around, getting used to the clips, and not worrying so much about speed right now.
Another picture of yourself or your ride? There's a picture of my bike on my myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/m0nkeyh0use)
What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Told a few to the parents back in the day... don't really remember.
Most memorable moment on my bike: When I was a kid, we didn't have much in the way of money, so two of my bikes were a bit... special. One had no left pedal (and it was so old, we couldn't find a pedal for it anymore), and my next one had handlebars so loose, they'd flip around, but it had a sweet gold, metal-fleck banana seat.
Most fun ever had on a bike? Just riding around as a kid... Lots of fun.
Nice to "meet" all of you!! Not sure how often I'll post, but it should be fun here.
