Ah, yes. Me? Um, well, I ride a bike. Every day. I love cycling more than anything else.

I love food. Not as much as my bike, but then i cant eat it. Ill eat anything. Well no, I’m a lifelong vegetarian (thanks to those hippie parents), so ill eat any vegetable. I haven’t found one i don’t like yet. This seems to be complicated for people, so ill explain what the term vegetarian means. NO PORK. NO BEEF. NO FISH. NO BIRDS. NO EGGS. NO SEAFOOD. THESE THINGS ARE NOT PLANTS! So don’t tell me that you are vegetarian too and follow up with some asinine comment about having ate some wonderful fish the other night. I hate that.

I love music. I own over 2500 cd’s and 800 record albums. Ill listen to anything except pop radio and country music. Bloody awful those two. Mostly i listen to hardcore, punk, and metal. Although, I do like this post-punk revision that is happening now. Editors, yes. Interpol, yes. Bloc Party, yes. iliketrains, yes. My favourite metal bands are In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Soilwork, God Forbid, and Chimaira.

Ive traveled the world over and i cant get enough. That partly explains my fascination with cycling. It is the ability to get places quickly and under your own power, just you the machine and the road. My favourite places are of course England and India. Eventually I want to claim all the continents. I am stuck in the states for now, far from home. Its not all bad but Britain beckons from across the waters.

I am also an artist and graphic designer. My “fine” art consists of paintings and calligraphy, and my design work is photoshop based work.

My favourite bike I am riding right now is my new TREK XO1 cyclocross…
