So I am finally getting around to answering the questions from being “tagged”. Here goes.

If you could have any one — and only one — bike in the world, what would it be?

A Jamis Exile 29er Single Speed.

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 do have it, and I guess that is why it was my answer. I love this bike, although there are some things I would change about it. Overall, talk about a bikegasm…
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?

Hmmm. I would say Kokopelli trail, it is long, has all sorts of terrain and beautiful views.
What kind of sick person would force another person to ride one and only one bike ride to do for the rest of her / his life?

I have no idea, but it is wrong. Who would want to do just one trail when there are so many amazing trails out there??
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 narrow minded?

I ride both, but definately prefer mountain. I think road biking is rather boring, and gives me too much time to think. I love mountain biking, because when I am out there, it is nothing but me and the mountain. Can’t beat that.
Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? If not, describe the circumstances under which you would ride a recumbent.

No, and there is nothing that would make me want to ride one. Ever.
Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss?

Yes, for a couple of years. And then I realized how much I hated to train for it. I hate swimming, and it made me so miserable whenever I had to go. I hated having a schedule to go off of, it almost felt like a job. I never think of mountain biking as training. I love every minute of it. Realizing that is why I stopped tri’s. I have never tried strangling myself with dental floss, although I will admit if I stuck with Tri’s I might have at one point…
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?

Ice cream. Hands down. There isn’t much out there that could compete against bikes.
What is a question you think this questionnaire should have asked, but has not? Also, answer it.

Why did you actully take the time to answer these questions?

I have no idea…
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?

Sing to it, and pray it runs away from my horrible voice.
