i've been pseudo-tagged by janet. here are my pseudo-responses.

If you could have any one — and only one — bike in the world, what would it be? for the road, it would obviously have to be custom made, and locally grown, with a steel frame and beautiful lugs (sorry, bb). for off-road, it would obviously be a giant trance 2, since that's what i own. don't gimme the "and only one" thing. it's stupid to hypothesize over unrealistic situations.

Do you already have that coveted dream bike? If so, is it everything you hoped it would be? If not, are you working toward getting it? If you’re not working toward getting it, why not? i am 50% on the dream bikes (sorry, bb).

If you had to choose one — and only one — bike route to do every day for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why? kessel run in fruita, colorado. top down, of course, because it's nonstop twisty goodness!

What kind of sick person would force another person to ride one and only one bike ride to to do for the rest of her / his life? i dunno.

Do you ride both road and mountain bikes? If both, which do you prefer and why? If only one or the other, why are you so narrowminded. yes, both. i prefer mountain biking. road riding can be relaxing or it can be a good workout, but moutain biking is fun; it makes me feel like i'm 12 years old.

Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? If not, describe the circumstances under which you would ride a recumbent? never tried it. i'd probably fall over laughing at how ridiculous i look.

Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss? no. and no.

Suppose you were forced to either give up ice cream or bicycles for the rest of your life. Which would you give up, and why. that is stupid. i'd never let anyone force me to give up either.

What do you drink during the post-ride social? Beer or wine? depends on where we go. typically beer, but sometimes margaritas, and sometimes wine.

You’re riding your bike in the wilderness (if you’re a roadie, you’re on a road, but otherwise the surroundings are quite wilderness-like) and you see a bear. The bear sees you. What do you do? make sure i'm pointed downhill and pedal like mad.
