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.
How I like my Brew...
A nod to my time in the Army..
WorldClassAccident - Because I have/cause them
BigBikeBash - Because I run it. It is a great weekend if you want to come along
it's what people call me innit
Short, wide, and hairy.
I was buffetslayer on the old forum, which accounts for the wide.
Nothing to do with politics, religion or animal rights, it's because I own an AEC Militant recovery truck.
This one, in fact.

What I am in Braemar, where I live. Also a dig at the similarity between my village and Royston Vasey from The League of Gentlemen.
Andy w : my name
bjj : my other pastime (brazilian jui~jitsu]
I'm Mike and also a droid. I preferred Mikertroid to Mikerdroid.
My wife nicknamed me Bagpuss for my exuberant yawning, this morphed into Baggers, but becomes Bagstard when I'm in her bad books.
named after my hound who has a taste for "light ale"

given to me because of my job, and due to my perchant for funky facial hair
Big Dave: because my names Dave and I'm not slim.
Because I am an old(ish) git and get grumpy riding up hills
I've also been the Vice President i/c Funk - laying down the bass and all that stuff: You dig me?
Because i got some post addressed to me on the day i created a forum ID with the name Steve-Austin on it.
Because it was part of my dads nickname for me before and after I was born - the full title is Sidney Sideboard. I'm lucky, he called my older brother Sidney Mincing!
Because it's what Bristolians say to the driver when they get off the bus. I'm not Bristolian or a bus driver but after a while their version of English becomes kind of endearing.
school bus pass circa 1992, had the first 5 letters of your last name, followed by your initials and DOB at the bottom, so mine was meeha, JA. Kind of stuck.
Not seen the film but in the film the guy can only turn in one direction. I have issues turning right when on the bike and a couple of friends picked up on it and a nickname was born.
Named after a bond girl, used it before STW when I was at Uni.
Because I'm rubbish at thinking up imaginative usernames
It was my favourite tv programme as i grew up. And i am in fact a dog
