I hate riding bicycles. Truly, one of the most torturous contraptions ever invented by man. The only bike I’ve owned since I was in high school, I gave away. I didn’t even want money for it. Which is why I stand astounded at the abilities of people to suffer legwise, abrasionwise, crotchwise, and all otherwise, in the saddle climbing up the Koppenberg or the Ghisallo or time trialing away in a Leipheimer "My Spine Is Jello" tuck. You couldn’t pay me money to do that. But I love paying money to watch other people do it.

Apart from my total lack of bicycling, I ride motorcycles. A lot. Hence the website associated with my profile.

Apart from riding motorcycles, I spend a lot of time sucking at the VDS competition.
