About me:
Being riding bikes since I was 6 years old. I live on riding. Own a bit of everything. I know I would rather be riding than surfing the net. On average I get about 20,000-30,000 miles a year biking since middle school. Most people think I am nuts. In the summer I log about 70-90 miles a day+/-. Usualy ride from February20-December 1st. Also enjoy diving, kickboxing, snowshoeing and weight training. My bio: 6' 1", 240 lbs, bald shaven head, scars, blue eyes. Leo. Most of my miles are rode at night. I work 3rd shift. So when most people are sleeping, I am up.
I like night riding since it gets rid of most run ins with people. Only negatives about night riding are constantly being stopped by law enforcement wanting to know what I am up to., animals crossing the road when you are going down hill at 30 m.p.h., drunks after bar time who should not be driving, and rude/crazy people at 7-11 who have never seen anyone in night-riding gear.
My likes: anything Italian-Sidi,Bianchi,Castelli,Campy, etc. Steel, Titanium, Aluminum frames, Cold beer, Jagger, Crown, Yukon Jack, pizza,pasta, beef,cheese. Dislikes: Things made in China, carbon fiber bike parts, poorly maintained bikes, bike theives. My best rides have been either going to Chicago/burbs or heading up North.

    Err, baby steps. I met a guy last week who dislocated all of his fingers in a single fall going over a stack of logs 5 miles into a trail by himself. But that's not the reason I don't have a mountain bike yet... is it terrible that I'm just much more interested in exploring roads than trails? By bike anyway. That of course could change, but right now I'm stuck totally coveting road bikes and cruisers. I didn't think I'd be one of those people who has 8 different bikes.... but I want at least 8 different bikes.

    Glad to hear that all is well & you're still out riding around. I myself am quite ready for warmer weather too, although I've grown so accustomed to riding in the cold I can barely remember what it's like. Yes, I'm in Chicago now & still wrenching. I'm at Rapid Transit Cycleshop on North Ave. now. If you happen to stop by The Bike Shop anytime soon tell Tony Looney I say hello.
