i've been tagged...

so...apparently im not too old for chain letters. well, this one isn't so much a letter or, at least we are calling it being "tagged" so that we don't feel so old and a bit more hip. in any case...hipsternascar has graced me with a tag. it's a game of tag that started with the fatcyclist...well, let me give it a go...

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

i wish i could have my old bianchi pista...remember, the one with the teal lettering and the flat black frame. that sh*t was too nice...or at least i thought so.

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?

no. no. why? well, cause anyone who actually still owns one probably has it really beat up and not worth me trying to convince them to sell it to me.

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?

i became a dispatcher for a reason...i want to tell others what routes to take.

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?

what? i don't get it...a dispatcher?

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?

mountain? what is that? is that like a bridge?

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

nope. although, if i own clipless sandals it's only a matter of time till i get one.

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

nope but i know someone who has.

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...im hypoglycemic, no sugar allowed...aaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahhahahahahhah!!

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

is your best day off a bicycle better than your worst day on a bicycle? yes.

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?

simple. being from chicago and a bears fan i would befriend the bear, have a few brews together, and smack some cheeseheads around.

Now, tag three biking bloggers. List them below.
