I got tagged by Noob

Thanks to Bike Noob for tagging me. Rather than tempt fate , I’ll go ahead and comply with the instructions. Here it goes…

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

My bike. I love it and it loves me.

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’m really not that much of a bike wiener, except that I love the one I have.

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?

Embrun to Alpe d’Huez via the Col du Galibier, Col du Telegraph and Col de la Croix de Fer. In fact, go ahead and add the Col du Mollard just for kicks. Every day, buddy. Anyways, I have a feeling this will be my purgatory ride.

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

You’ve never ridden from Embrun to Alpe d’Huez.

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 wore out my mountain bike and can’t afford a new one. Wearing out a bike is a good sign I think.

Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? If not, describe the circumstances under which you would ride a recumbent.

Have you ever seen someone ride a recumbent? That’s why not.

Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss?

I live in the triathlon capitol of the world. A couple of months ago, one got eaten by a shark. Is that enough reason?

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, duh. Don’t ask about beer.

What is a question you think this questionnaire should have asked, but has not? Also, answer it.

Do you think there should be more questions in this list? No.

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?

Well, the definition of a bike race is two cyclists on the same road, headed in the same direction. So, assuming he is one of those circus bears that ride little bikes, I’d drop his ass. Then I’d pull down my shorts (ala Voris) and show him who’s boss.

Now, tag three biking bloggers. List them below.

Sorry guys, gotta be
