I am from Jhb, South Africa. I do spinning about 4 times a week as I go to work early and only get home 12 hrs later. Weekends I do a race or a short distance. I did the 94.7 and Argus twice.

I'm a mechanical engineer..
I love bikes..
And had designed and built prototypes in the past..

My newest project is a 'redefined geometry' for road.. don't ask me, its confidential.

past projects include recumbent bikes, tandems, etc.

So if you need someone crazy enough to experiment w/ bike setups.. I would be happy to help.

Another Melbournite here! 27yo male and I live in Melbourne but am part of the Geelong Mountain Bike Club (see www.gmbc.com.au - shameless plug for their website I helped set up ).

Funnily enough I once stayed well clear of roads and bike paths to any extent possible but now I find myself on the road more and more. Besides, it is impossible to avoid commuting to work. My legs will remain unshaven however!

ah yes, but shaven legs - at least in my experience - is certainly not the norm in mtb. Probably more like 50/50.

So the dork list should be split in to one for road and one for mtb - helmet mirrors dont apply, shaved legs and camelbaks are certainly not dorkisms, although some definately apply to both!

Thanks Steve!

I only came across this site a day or two ago but I wish I had found it sooner. I will add a link to here for sure. How big (small) can the logo be?
