Hi to all. I hail from Vallejo, CA. It's not far from SF Bay. I'm just an old geezer, who enjoys road riding, though not as often as I wish, and who is looking for a BB where I can learn and ask technical questions without the pretensiousness I've noticed in a lot of shops. :)

I'm from Southern Oregon and ride for fitness and FUN! It feels great to go up the 15 mile climb 10 min faster this year than last despite my 56 year old body!
Working as a Chiropractor for 27 years! Got a lot of physiology training but the new exercise physiology training techniques have outstripped my meager brain. Anyone here good at exercise physiology?
Riding 75 miles a week on a Mercier with Campy Mirage for 2 years and NOW I'm wiiting on a new custom Seven.

Geetings from New Zealand. A special thanks to those who contributed to recumbent plans, this I found to be extremely helpfull considering the last time I built a recumbent was 30 years ago. At that time there was next to nothing avilable except the odd photo in the library. My interests include valve audio design, classical music & opera, orchids and of course my ancient recumbent.

Hi Firebug:)
I am from Richmond a small town near Nelson at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Here we have clean air and high sunshine hours.
I design and custom build high end audio systems using valves and 2004 technology. These are very expensive and are purchased mainly by audiophiles that have a dedicated room for listening. I also restore and repair valve radios from the 1920's on, for the public and Antique shops. This means quite alot of sitting down so a ride on a recumbent from time to time is a welcome relief and good exercise since I am close to retirement.
Hope that answers your question

I'm from Central PA and will retire next month, and I just bought a Trek 7200 hybrid. A friend convinced me to join a spinning class. Now I'm hooked, but good.:D

It's nice to hear from riders in other countrys. I live in the U.S. It would be great to see some photos of your rides. You can do a ride report (photos) and post them at this site. http://forums.roadbikereview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 Everyone would love to see them. We have one guy post pics of his rides in China.

I live in Israel

saturday morning is century ride

for most riders here

on roads in the jerusalem vicinity.

I meet riders on the way and pelotons are formed

there are a few preferable and or chalenging routes

so different groups split up along the way

to do their own stages.

during weekdays chances are I will solo train

unless I meet with some one on the road.

I ride a Gios Chromo for the flats and my Trek Composite

for the hills.

I weigh 63Kg and 5'7feet tall.

I have been riding since 1985.

thats about it.

regards.
