We will be in touch
Inspired by Fred's Obi_Wan emails....
Its a long but interesting story, everyone who hears it laughs uncontrolably and ends up smiling for days, sometimes even weeks. I will have to tell it you some day.
he dorset knob is the name of a pub in poole
Really? Whereabouts? (And what did it used to be called - I'm sure there was no pub of that name when I lived there!)
a type of local biscuit
'Biscuit' is stretching it a bit. Stale elephant bollock, more like.
It's a song. 8)
I'm a real life Mr. Darcy 🙂 Nickname at uni was Deadly (insert any word beginning with "d") Darcy. Tends to be my username anywhere.

Name is tim and I live in the willows
Sounds a bit like a scary tree in The Lord of the Rings...
I don't like nettles
Always like the retro component brand name of nukeproof back when I started mountain biking as a teenager even if their carbon hubs weren't overly reliable, not that I could afford them anyway....got the username way before nukeproof rose again as a brand and, when it did, I cut it short to nuke. What an exciting story to tell the kids one day 😐
I once got shot by one (it's a type of shotgun)
The slim fast advert used to make me laugh...
It was only recently I found out that [i](that was me)[/i] Barry Bethell [i](before I took the slim fast plan)[/i] was found guilty of sexually assaulting kids. I should probably change it now. Perhaps to something less creepy like Jonathan King or Gary Glitter.
its just my name ! lol. i did register with another name b4 this site went down and we all had to register agin...thats name was 'Pinkie'... its a name my dad called me when i was a young nipper, but has stuck with me for years... i used to have Rosey cheeks whilst playing out in the deep snow...'pinkie' was my nickname back in the day.. lol
Elaine - slight hijack. What's your fella's name? I was talking to Shaun Rawcliffe today about Wing Chun and was going to mention him...
My parents named me Derek, but always called me Dez. Surname begins with B.
Stems from when I signed up to AOL years ago (duh, 1999) and needed a unique name - so dezb99. Dropped the 99 as STW was easier to find a unique name on.
Quite simple really so surprised I managed to drag this post out so long. I did think of a good username for my mate who signed up - Donkey Puncture - you know after Donkey Punch and a common mtb problem for those who don't run tubeless...
Has chakaping posted yet?
the dorset knob is on alder rd bh12 on the corner of sharp rd.
surname

do you need to ask............... 😉
I ride a Coyote.
Named after a small stuffed polar bear. Who had a house. Actually it was an emporium. Which sold stuff.
I'm not sure how to explain that in any way that'd make sense.
Fang farrier who drives a Nash
Maxray was.one of the centurions of 80's cartoon fame. I always use it as a username. POWER EXTREME! 🙂
"look ma, no hands!"
If I have to use gears I prefer hubgears - which are epicyclic, hence epicyclo
I'm a female who lives in the Alps. Very original...
It's Scots Gaelic for magician or wizard. My daughter used to believe I was one when I did slight of hand tricks for her.
The name crops up across Scotland in places like Aviemore - the Allt Druidh - and gives Inverdruie its name too.
My cat.
My old bike leaning in the lounge finally rebuilt and resprayed looking glorious in XTR, so scratching head when I registered... ❓ 💡
I honor thee by taking thou name. 8)

I have a fantastic 'tache.
my first name is Adam and my surname begins with G, but for some reason I couldn't get that user name approved...? Before my time, possibly.
So, my fave band Shriekback did a brilliant track called 'my spine is the bassline', and I used that to make my name for one of my CDs and I've used it for several email accounts, just recycled it again.
Still giggling at

I've played guitar since I was 15 and in my my first band the bass player called my distorted sound "greasy" and as my real name is Graham, the two came together. 25 years later and the name still sticks 🙂
Sometimes I'm one, most of the time I'm the other and occasionally I'm both. Mainly stems from years of enduro motorbiking and a KTM which suffered from this.
My real name is Simon Barnes but someone beat me to it.

I am Simon Barnes!
It's my name. Not very inventive I must say.
My name is Simon, I'm 6'5" and weigh over 20 stone,,,, go figure 🙄
Sqwubbsy was Julian Cope's anti poll tax demonstrating alter ego. An 8 foot paper mache man.
I got sent a poem, with the comment "Remind you of anyone?"
ESME ON HER BROTHER'S BICYCLE
One foot on, one foot pushing, Esmé starting off beside
Wheels too tall to mount astride,
Swings the off leg forward featly,
Clears the high bar nimbly, neatly,
With a concentrated frown
Bears the upper pedal down
As the lower rises, then
Brings her whole weight round again,
Leaning forward, gripping tight,
With her knuckles showing white,
Down the road goes, fast and small,
Never sitting down at all.
(by Russell Hoban)
I definitely do the frown and the white knuckles, but I'm not sure about "nimbly" or "neatly" - or even "featly"

I was anabaena on the old forum but I thought that if you're going to be named after a cyanobacteria, nostoc is a better one.
go on have a guess.
I used to be piemuncher on the old forum.
my name and the tyre thats kept me on the straight and narrow rather than over the top and on my arse 😆
I work in a lab. It has no windows.
It is also an anagram of my name and where I live.
Because I'm old, irritable, and on my bike a bit of a duffer compared with what I would like to be capable of. Oh and amongst my mates I'm the one who generally does the ride organisation
we are borg and jeri ryan is hot (and on the planet you call earth my name is karin)

Phonetic spelling of the initials of my maiden name. Do boys have maiden names? What's the male equivalent? Knight-in-shining-armour-name?
I live on the North Wessex Downs and like going down hill
My name is Amit, damnit!
After Rata the family labrador.
Dunno.
I had an accident, alright!
My name is Richard and I enjoy a biscuit with my cup of tea.
I was the oldest in my club, and someone bought me a birthday card with an 'oldgit' sticker on and it stuck literally.
It's my absolute favourite beach.
I'm a big basketball fan with my team being the Orlando Magic who play at the Orlando Arena (or at least as it was before sponsorship naming rights changed it)...the Orlando Arena was affectionatley shortened to the 'O-rena'. 45 was the number one of favourite Magic players wore back in the day.
P.S. Go Magic tonight against the Celtics!
Left over from my rally days, I had a habit of destroying farm gates on 90 right or lefts 😳
Because someone took Alasdair (and never used it), so I added some of my surname
we went to the forest of fontainebleau to climb and decided the moss there had magical powers*
*we havent found out what they are
Back in the days of text based online talkers (Anyone remember Surfers?) I was listening to Pearl Jam's latest album, Versus, when I signed up. Being a bit cack-handed I spelt it wrong and I've stuck with the less-aggressive-more-poetic typo ever since 😳
From the gogrannygo days, christened in whinlatter on the cold christmas C2C a few years back. It was dreadlock wig, shades, improvised spear and granny outfit that did it. Kept using OAP as it saves thinking up new names.
I am a man.
I am in the north.
Three reasons
1. The old site crashed at Christmas and my old name was dead
2. There was the usual god/atheist thread running
3. I was listening to a Stone Roses album
It was too perfect a fit...
Ran a big F1 website called "Atlas F1" and we used to do live chats so I was on IRC as Atlas. Eventually I hung around more than did the proper chats and needed to change the name so Atlaz it was.
Known as "Adventure Racer" on another forum I frequent - it probably makes rather more sense on there (where various people were busy being rude about adventure racing when I registered, so it was deliberately provocative) than on here, so I shortened it.
It's me name innit.
An old school nickname from my surname.
First proper bike was an 01 Stumpjumper FSR Comp. Still had it when I registered.
Should really change it to Stumpy10 now.
Used to be into rock climbing.
Now I prefer to ride up hills rather than rock climb them.
Tracker was a nickname I got after a night out that was long and messy and I left a trail that was easy to follow and I was born in 1972.
Very first username I ever needed for something or other I picked Tracker, they said "it's gone do you want Tracker23$%6Ry1" or somesuch so I tried 1972, it worked and has as a username ever since.
Not far off my actual name. A mate came up with it at school.
I was reminded of it watching Gravity Games at Uni. The street luge was on and all the guys had names like Biker Sherlock. A few of us decided that we should ESPN up our names a bit, just in case the need ever arose. I couldn't think of anything better than Ned Rapier. I think there was a JJ West as well. Can't remember the others. Something like a Rickkarrd Rickkarrdsson.
when I decided to leave the UK I gave myself this name

Middle name Syd and I used to race a CBR600 Honda, obvious really.
My parents hated me and wanted me to get into lots of fights
I like cycling in woods. And heathen activities with my lady.
