Where are you from,what do you do?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Out of curiosity, are you introducing yourself to me or just posting a new thread...? Don QuijoteHello all, I'm a writer residing in the Cascade foothills, about 35 miles due east of Seattle, Washington.

I commute to work and back by bike and bike/bus combo approximately 90 percent of my workdays, and have done so for the past three years. I live 17 miles from work, but in poor weather, I can cut my total ride daily distance down to under 10 miles; thank God for bike racks on the busses. As I tell my co-workers, my ride is typically the highlight of my day; I wouldn't trade commutes with anyone.

I have four bicycles. The newest is a 2000 Bike E RX, a so-called short wheel base recumbent. I also have a cheesy GT front suspended Timberline MTB which I have rigged for use on the multitude of trails and logging/powerline roads surrounding my home. The third frame is my commuter and the one I rode most. It's an old hardtail MTB with wet pavement tires and lots of lights and reflectors. My last bike is dearest to my heart. It's a 1972 Peugeot UO-8, of which I am the original owner. It's pretty much painful to ride, with its inadequate gearing and creaky noises, but I can't let it go; it's like a child to me.

Im not sure actually, this was my very first post ever and intended it to be general 'hello cycle forum and cyclists' , i may not have done it correctly...

OK. I just keep getting e-mails from all over the world, and feel so flattered that I may consider a career in charismatic literature...(he-he) .

Well, I thought I was merely posting my introduction on the introduction thread, but this Usenet thing is kind of confusing for me. Anyway, nice to meet you, Don!

I am an electrician in Florida, USA.

My friends and I enjoy leisure riding (5-20k) on our wonderful bike trail.

Since we do this irregularly I feel like a new man each time and realize how
my laborous work as an electrician falls far short of exercise!

Shouldn't this be<Arnold vioce> "WHo is your daddy, and what does he do." <Arnold vioce>ANyway...:rolleyes:

I live in Eugene Oregon and I manage a bike shop there. (The Bike Barn, if anyone ever ventures out this way)

I'm also the Court Jester over on the Anandtech forums.

So I'm sure I'll "act up" on here from time to time. :D

In fact I'll proably head over to your JOKES forum next and steal a few jokes to pass around. :cool:

Hello Mr. Jester sir.

We got a lady living on the island of Maui named Pam, she's from Eugene. OR.
She used to work for Nike. She's a very nice women in her early 40's.

Do you know her? You said you worked for the "Bike Barn" is why i'm asking.

Maui is nice but she says Eugene is better for snow boarding. Got no snow on Maui, that's for sure.

Hi

I'm from Stockholm, Sweden and I've been cycling for a year now. I've just purchased a Tacx I-magic trainer so that I can train in the wintertime (oktober-april) and I'm looking for people who also have a trainer for some tips. Also, if any of you have tacx I magic then I might be interested in buying some courses from you.

email me at: carsa827@student.liu.se

Get this kids: when I lived there, Eugene had two automobile bridges over the Willamette River, and THREE pedestrian/bike bridges. It's a great town.

I'm from Melbourne Australia. I'm just getting back into cycling after a hiatus of a couple of years. I got into a tangle with a dog on a bike path :mad:. That put me off riding for quite a while.
I used to do a bit of road riding about 15 years ago (on a Graecross), but I think that's behind me these days. I'm in the market for a hybrid bike, and will probably buy a Specialized Sirrus Sport very soon. I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

:) Im from queenland australia and i cycle for fun and also competitively with a club. im now doing 35k each morning for practice.what do you guys do for practice? 8)
