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


I have only had one bike for the last 7 years, its hard to think of parting with my good ole Cannondale, but I think I would pick up the Trek Fuel EX . Its beautiful and fits me like a glove.


Do you already have that coveted dream bike? If not, are you working toward getting it? If you’re not working toward getting it, why not? I covete a road bike : ) (Yes Janet, I want to become a Sissy). I was looking at the Cannondale Synapse . I really dont know much about road bikes so feel free to give me some of your favorites.


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 dont have a road bike, therefore dont have many routes. I have only ridden MN Singletrack, does this make it easier or more difficult? I would say I would ride to Leb, ride all three loops a few times and then head on home. (I would be really bored really quick, why dont these things allow for choice?)


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? Haha stupid question thingie, calling me narrowminded, you would only let me pick one route and one bike, so I am not answering, THERE!


Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? NO


Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss? I have raced a Dual with the plan to aspire to a tri.. My training regimen actually consists of strangling myself with dental floss three times a week and then jumping from a bridge the other two. Amazing how intuitive these things can be.


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? easy, Ice Cream!!! It doesnt do my body good


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


Which bikers are sexier, Mountain or Roadies?


Also, answer it........Did you have a kickstand and reflectors on the first mountain bike you owned?


Reflectors yes, Kickstand No. Oh wait. I grew up in the country and have always had a mountain bike. I think my first one was a Purple Huffy. Oh, it was the thing childhood dreams are made of!!! It even had the plastic diamond shaped thingies that clunked back and forth while I rode it. Awesome!! (Until my mom backed over it in the driveway. OOOPS)


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?



Pull out my BEAR AWARE and show that Bear whos Boss. Unless its Smokey or the Hamms bear, then I might stay awhile have a brew or two and see how their days been.

I'm supposed to tag three other people. So Pete, Katy, and Andy since you all are slacking on updating your blogs!

I have all the answers
. . . and other such lies

My dream bike was my fisher 293 - it's what I ride whenever I'm on dirt. I love it love it love it. This weekend I rode river bottoms and let one of my buddies ride my old Rockhopper. At Bloomington Ferry he and I switched bikes, so I was on my older rockhopper. Man do I love my 293! Fits like a glove that was sewn onto my hand.

I do rid both road ant mtb. I prefer a road bike when I'm commuting / going somewhere because it's lighter and gets me there faster. I prefer an mtb for anything else because its more fun and more comfortable.

I have ridden a recumbent. It made my brain hurt so I got back off. I did not like it. I have never raced a triathlon. I do duathlon workouts sometimes (get off the bike and run), but never competitively. Also, I hate dental floss in all applications. I use it, but I despise it.

I would give up ice cream before I gave up many things. There are very few things i would give up riding for.

Without sounding too gay I'd have to say roadie guys are hotter than MTB guys and MTB girls are hotter than roadies.

My first MTB was a Trek800 in the 90s, and yes it had reflectors and a kickstand. The first MTB I really rode was my rockhopper, and that had reflectors but no kickstand.

The real question for you, birthday girl Dana, is if you had to give up your bike or your camera . . . . .

don't ask me that question. I cry just thinking about it.
