Well, as my first post on this forum, here goes...
Name: Ed - can't remember anything longer than two letters. Where I live: Arlington MA (just outside of Boston) explanation of my handle: I do a bit of custom work in titanium... explanation of my avatar: Ain't got one - I'm saving up, maybe next year. Age: 40 - that's 280 in dog years. Mental age: 4. occupation: Bike bum (explains why I can't afford an avatar) favorite bike: I keep returning to my Peter Mooney custom race bike - it's kinda heavy and it's 16 years old now. Some day I'll find something I like as much. What's in my stable: A small fleet of Peter Mooneys, a broken Seven, a Surley steam roller, a Ritchey Skyliner tandem, an old Fat Chance mountian bike, a new IF mountain bike, and about 25 other bikes that I raced on and just can't bring myself to sell. Fastest speed on a bike: That would be cheating, I have a 58T chainring on the tandem. I stopped looking down at 70 going down Kinsman notch in NH. How many miles on the road: Probably about 8,000. Picture of myself on a ride. I'm way too ugly to be photographed. Make up an answer to at least one additional question: 42. The biggest lie I've ever told: Lines 6 thru 21 on last year's tax returns. And something fun: Full moon rides, we ride out to the top of some hill, build a small fire and make smores. Most people come just to watch me lug a trailer with all the supplies (including the big bag of matchlight charcoal) up the biggest hill we can find on my fixed gear. |

* where do you live? Ferndale, MI. For those of you who don't want to mapquest just think of it as "somewhere in the greater metropolitan Detroit area", and about a mile away from 8 mile...no...I haven't seen the movie. * explanation of your handle: M. SPACE A. hmmmm, both initials and nickname...I'm not your mom so don't call me "ma".

I don't own it anymore, but I did love it. * age (general or specific): 40 (specific enough? My birthday was November 17th, did you call? did you send me a present? No!!!? What kind of friend are you?) * occupation: Technical Writer - Marketing. Some would call that a copywriter but I write original stuff...human resources can't make the leap. * favorite bike: My beautiful Kirk Terraplane! * what's in your stable? Kirk Terraplane, Bianchi EV2, Bianchi Eros, Fat Chance Yo Eddy, Bridgestone X-04, Schwinn Continental (mint green cruiser) and a cute little Bianchi folding bike.

RA...I'm cutting down...there used to be 9 on the list... * fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 115 or so, I-275, 1997?

Solo bike: 52.5 mph on a curvy descent in northern Michigan (those are pedals, not foot rests!) Tandem: 55, similar area. On the flats solo?

At the bottom of the post...I thought it was neat that the park service painted a sign to match.

A holiday decoration! (How many of you remembered to pick up an old bike to do this to this year?) Last edited by M_A_Martin; 12-12-2004 at 10:35 AM. |
