Kate Middleton from Reading, England, is the fiancee of Prince William, third in line to the British throne.

Kate Middleton from Maynard, Mass., sells bicycles and knows more than most about spinning. She was in line, too, but that was to get her Facebook account turned back on.

The prince's April 29 wedding to the English Kate has created some confusion - and some opportunities - for the American Kate, who works at a bicycle shop, ATA Cycle, and teaches a spin class...

Q: How did you first find out, and what happened?

A: They shut my Facebook account down for using a fake name. I tweeted, "Facebook disabled my account for using a fake name. Will the real Kate Middleton please stand up?" ... Facebook sent me a form saying, if this is a legitimate thing, to email them and they'll reactivate the account. And I basically emailed them and said I have no affiliation with the broad in England - leave me alone, you know? I mean, I have pictures of my dogs (two Australian Shepherds named Duke and Masi), it has nothing to do with the soon-to-be princess.

I am a 32-year-old female road cyclist who manages the most premiere bike shop in the country, and possibly even the world.... bikes leave our shop to the tune of $24K.

Seriously, $24,000? :rolleyes:

Sadly, it's not hard to do. Find an expensive frame, put Di2 on it, expensive bar/stem, and some of those Zedtech wheels.

I'd take the Storck over Prince William in a heartbeat.

You would have to walk into ATA to understand.

They are located in one of the more affluent communities around Boston.

Interesting shop but I'd rather visit TiDesign's place if I'm going to drive down that way.
