There are some great user names out there - Mastilies Fannilon is my personal favourite.
But what does your user name mean or how the heck did you come up with it? Some are pretty obvious, like TJ and Ton, but 'This is not a spoon'? It's bordering on Lewis Carol levels of sanity.
So come one, tell all. Mine's really simple. My best mate always called me Gee (way before the Atherton's were around!) as my initials are GT and I was born in 1972, hence GeeTee1972.
I think the Fannylions are/were a group of riders...
I wonder why people see any need to hide behind a pseudonym?
mickey take name given by northern mates when I moved back 'darn sarf' 😆
Its the street I live on
It fitted.

Not a need but a choice.
I have fangs.
I had a dog that died in 2005. A beautiful GSD that used to run with the bike. Best friend in the whole wide world. Can you guess what his name was?
That's right, it was Trevor.
It was my snakes name.
Was my nickname at school.
I had a cold when registering
Best friend in the whole wide world
wow
i used to ride a Titus (RIP)
It's my nickname in real life.. short for youngster.. cos I'm the oldest Dave in our group of mates.. (by some way)..
Also it rhymes with junky and has a sort of pun based on the scandinavian pronounciation of the letter J. This is mildly amusing to my mates as I used to have an obscenely gluttonous drug habit.
because i once saw a real live yeti
Well, my name is Julian and my surname begings with A... Not too imaginative!
I did get an offer to go ride with some ladies though, which was nice... (Didn't take them up on it though!)
I think that thisisnotaspoon is a reference to Magritte's 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe'...
One of my favourite user names on here is anagallis_arvensis - the scientific name of the flower better known as Scarlet Pimpernel.
Oh, and talkemada must have been a reference to a certain Spanish Inquisitor, but I'm not going to get into a discussion about that particular user!
Mine comes from my cat (rip) who was named after [url=
bit in Bils and Teds.
hei hei - because I have one
I'm really tall so I called myself shorty...
After the most consistently good band on the planet - Napalm Death.
no idea
It's the same as my real name, so you'd better ask my parents.
Er, i'm bloody short and i ride my bikes in the mud of course!
I am a climber first and foremost
though i am not high when I climb, I climb to get high
Mine came from a Kenny Everett chararacter, 'Cupid Stunt.' Just liked what he did there.
Creg...because I had been watching Southpark
most of my family comes from cullen, i quite like the beach in "cullen bay".
I ride a bike with a Lefty fork and I'm a boy - fairly old boy but leftymiddleagedbloke doesn't sound quite right 😆
I wonder why people see any need to hide behind a pseudonym?
Why not? What does it matter? It's a bit of fun, is all.
Anyhoo, mine's a character from a book by one of my favourite authors, William Gibson. I would have chosen Chevette, a bike courier from a book of his called [i]Virtual Light[/i], but she's female, and I ain't, so I chose Count Zero from his book of the same name.
knick name given to me by my buddies from darn sarf. apparently its cockney rhyming slang for miserable ****er,
guess.
My initials - thought I'd probably be able to remember that
guess...
N.A.Palmer (Andy Palmer), credited as pseudonym B.A.Nana on some albums. It's was a teenage thing, so might be my mid life crisis name?. Certainly not anything suggesting that I'm a joker and a cad, I'm actually a morose bstrd.

Partly my name and a piss take about my biking abilities...or maybe not a piss take.... 😕
i was gonna go for crazy legs cause thats what my mates call me back home in the homeland on account of wild cadences ... but james beat me to it
so trail rat was the name of my blog so it was then made my user name
in a previous life i was known as sideshow barbie or barbie for short .... on account of a bright pink dh bike and my dreadlocks looked akin to sideshow bob
A nickname my mates call me. Supposed to be 'Cato' after the crazy manservant in the Pink Panther films, but somewhere down the line over many years it's been misspelt as Kato and stuck
Mine was on account of my spectacularly good Singular i had at the time.
A play on the saying flippin heck, as I owned a Heckler, the rest is self explanatory, now I have killed the heckler I will be looking to change my name.
First thing i thought of.
my personal fave is nofrontlobe
After Grossberger in Stir Crazy, nickname that stuck.
Mc pronounced em cee is the prefix to my surname. At a Grundig World Cup race in the 80's the Italian race announcer listed those with the above prefix em cee Laren, em cee Leod, em cee Intosh. It was around the time MC Hammer. At the time we also produced a bike magazine called Moont.
It relates to an old photo in my first snowboarding outfit with big white boots and crash helmet. The GF said I looked like Buzz Lightyear. It's become a nick-name. BTW I look nothing like Buzz Lightyear as those who have met me can testify.
A club night in Manchester that welcomes all
Why not? What does it matter? It's a bit of fun, is all.
I suspect people use it as licence to be more obnoxious than they would under their own names! (not me, obviously)
Nickname given to me by friend years and years ago, while stoned probably.
