From a Russell Hoban poem someone rather rudely sent me, when I first learned to ride 🙁
[i][b]Esmé on Her Brother’s Bicycle[/b][/i]
[i]One foot on, one foot pushing,[/i]
[i]Esmé starting off beside[/i]
[i]Wheels too tall to mount astride,[/i]
[i]Swings the off leg forward featly,[/i]
[i]Clears the high bar nimbly, neatly,[/i]
[i]With a concentrated frown,[/i]
[i]Bears the upper pedal down[/i]
[i]As the lower rises, then[/i]
[i]Brings her whole weight round again,[/i]
[i]Leaning forward, gripping tight,[/i]
[i]With her knuckles showing white,[/i]
[i]Down the road goes, fast and small,[/i]
[i]Never sitting down at all.[/i]
Still not nimble or neat, but definitely cracked the "knuckles showing white" bit 😀
Because I look like this:

... inside...
jimw was taken.
Despite what many people think, it has nothing to do with trout.
As I've said before ... I'm from Dorset ... and I have a large knob.
Because I used to spend way too much time bike fettling in the garage and Mrs g-d used to threaten I could live down there with my snoring. The garage has since been replaced with a nice wooden workshop.
Pre hack 3milestoqep was how far it was too cycle through buriton to the back door to queen Elizabeth country park. Although I moved 10 miles south just a few months after choosing the name. 🙄
My name isn't Bob, it's neither Ian, or Colin, but who doesn't love a chance to say Bob?
You are Rowan Atkinson and I claim my five pounds!
At the time of the forum crash I was using my old business name, so wanted a change anyway.
Was going to do something single speedy, but I figured I was getting old and frail and would need gears soon.
If I'm not SSing I like hub gears (epicyclic gears), hence "epicyclo".
Cougar - ModeratorThat's interesting, there's a classifieds-only user with the same name. Do I need to dust off the hammer?
Chris's place is full of crap he should sell so I don't think it's him 😆
Outsider is usually taken.
6'4" - every bike I have ever owned looks more like a gate than the sexy stuff I see on Fresh Goods Friday
Name's Martin
Birthday is on the 10th
Simples.
I like a good house party.
In honor of this lady. Just..so..inspirational *Weeps*

[Only joking. It's got nothing to do with her]
My Spanish uncle called me it as a youth , as did loads of folk in Spain come to think of it... 😯 ,
then it became my email....
my name's John and I play drums
Born & bred.
Spend as much of my life in these beautiful places as possible.
And I prefer it to Teuchter.
After the hack I wanted a change. They wouldn't let me rejoin as deathtoeveryone so I had to come up with something else.
I love Cat Power and metal heart is one of my favourite songs.
If you know the lyrics, it kind of tells you everything you'll need to know about me.
Interestingly, when I'd forgotten my password, when I put in my email address it thought I was called deathtoeveyone after all. Which was a bit annoying truth be told. Then they banned me....
Apparently I share certain traits with Nick the Greek from Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
And my names Nick.
Apparently it's welsh for 'cock' according to google
It happens to be my name.
Which made it quite funny (to me at least) when i met up with someone from here who then asked if i would like to tell my real name.
It was the make of my long term bike, Coyote Dual. The bike has recently been retired but kinda got used to the name. Use it online for most things where an alias is required.
From 1979:

Well, more of a small pointy thing, like a thorn. If you had a particularly small one then it may be called that. It's not a compliment 🙂
NBT is short for Notoriously Bad Typist, from a phase on Bikemagic when we stopped using real name and adopted pseudonyms. Been NBT for about 15 years now on almost every forum I use
cos he's a great rider and sound bloke. I can only try
Allthegear? It all made perfect sense, once upon a time…
Rachel
Same here , pc gamer user name from a decade ago.
For John Drummer:

I got banned so rejoined with a smart arsed latin name. I was a botanist at the time.
The weekend i joined i had just ridden skillessly of a 4 foot rock, landed on my front wheel and then my face
Same username since pre-hack days. It's an unimaginative mix of maiden and married names.
Drunk wife trying to remember the name of the Bruce Willis sci-fi movie. Bada boom...
My mind went blank when signing up on another site so I used the Username I had at a previous job. It tends to be free on most sites so I stuck to it.
Dinosaur called Dave innit. Rarrrgghhh! Marvellous.
My real name is Eric.
Ah!.....errr!
Probably best keep quiet.
Good job it's not a picture thread 😉
I'm a doctor.
I'm also a pea.

Pre-hack it was my name. When we all had to re-register, I thought it good practice to use a pseudonym to make phishing harder.
Amongst my regular MTB peer group, I am the only professional scientist and have a moderately analytical approach to problems and vocalising my thought process, including mechanicals and riding in general.
Hence the friendly pisstake 'thank you for the explanation Scienceofficer Burgess.'
We also have a creativeofficer in the group who does all our Jersey designs and has a real creative job too.
It's only really an MTB moniker. Everywhere else on line, I'm bUMJAR. Deliberate letter case.
I am a cyclist of supreme fitness and technical ability
Something to do with my head.
I entered my email address in the wrong box. They won't let me change it.
Mines a kind of play on my surname.
Nothing to do with a certain Bavarian motor company.
it's my pre-hack name (which is what people call me which is similar to my surname) with an added letter.
the first 3 letters of my first, middle and last names
My school nickname, don't know why then, still don't know why now...
