EMSZ!!!!!!!!!
My initials....
I think my Dad (with my Mom's unknowing agreement) chose names that meant my initials matched a certain car manufacturer who was very prominent during the 1960's. They're still around today and now I work for them!!
Cut'n'paste from 2010:
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 still do the frown and the white knuckles, but given up on nimbly, neatly and featly 🙁
Lead character in the Clive Cussler novels - and like the character I'm an engineer and used to scuba dive, and the 74 is when I was born.
"Is it about a bicycle?"
A long time ago, there was an Italian company that made MTB suspension forks that also doubled as a useful weapon to defend one's house with. A longer time ago, before they sold the name to a cheap Chinese company to make crap forks, their lighter weight elastomer-sprung range were called Zokes. Guess which were the first pair of forks to adorn my beloved 1994 GT Outpost...
What my job is,
And a number that I don't forget
Thisisaspoon was taken along with every single sensible thing I could come up with when I tried to get a yahoo e-mail address in about 2002.
Really annoyingly I managed to get my actual name @yahoo.co.uk a few years later, signed it into outlook and used it until one day I got locked out because I'd not signed into yahoo for however many years! Wrote a pissy letter to Yahoo about it as they re-assigned it to someone else who will now be getting all my e-mails (and if they type that address into a website they get a mail from it'll send password re-sets too)! All in all an utter ballache.
I tried every combination of Simon and they were all taken so just came up with simmy
It's not an 'S'
On my world it means "hope".
I love all things Sci-Fi and have a weather control device (which sadly malfunctions meaning all my night rides back from the pub are cold, wet and bordering on hypothermic, well those that I can remember).
I also have a cloaked Dreadnought in orbit.
Some school system give this as my username in the early 90’s, it is weird shorted hash of my given names.
I think mine is self-explanatory
Name and year of birth. Proper imaginative I am!
My name is Adam and I like the back row positions of the scrum in Rugby Union even though I played in the front row.
Two of my favourite things.
Due to my tendency for idle timewasting
Jekyll was my online gaming and MSN chat user name, for no other reason than I thought it sounded cool at the time, nothing to do with Cannondale bike of the same name. For a time it was 'TheJekyll' - Then one day I stumbled upon this forum and wanting to ask a question about brakes or something I hurriedly entered the same name to find that Jekyll was already taken, so I just missplelled it slightly. Cue many people over the years telling me I've spelt Jekyll wrong. I wish I had spent more time choosing a decent name given the amount of time I spend on here. It's stupid name and I'd maybe rather people call me 'Jek' or Michael 😀
northern and called matt
On this and many other fora
I was, in a past life, an aeronautical engineer with a want for making the impractical fly. I also talk gibberish.

A friend's comment after I'd purchased yet another bike.
I'm now NoCashNoDash
Still don't get why you transposed the B and the Z?
You've seen how us ladies get treated on the Internet?!
My bike at the time was a Vitus Blitz and it was only 5 letters to type.
Like a shaggy ox with a notoriously poor alcohol tolerance.
It is more a philosophy. I am also quite good at finding the shortest route back to the cafe or to the good bit of trail.
I had this name well before strava was invented and so well before starva lines and shortcuts came about. I also predate the Scott No Shortcuts tagline.
I've been unlucky enough to contract schizophrenia no less that 5 times. 😯
My name is Edd.
A tin of Aldi energy drink 🙁
I’m a sailor at heart so hence the Bouy part and I ride bikes too hence the bi.....
On a surfing forum I’m also Bouy but with Fins added...
Simples huh.
I’m a dyslexic sailor at heart so hence the Bouy part

Energy products destroy my digestive system.
I got banned and then snuck back in!
I also used to be a botanist.
Got mine at Aldi, obvs.
I have fangs.
you know what, I've pretty much forgotten (pre-dates the 2008 hack - something to do with waffling on without making much sense)...
When my ex's (JojoA1) daughter was young, it was what she called me!
45 Bunsen burners
Thats a lot of Bunsen burners! I dont think my school had enough gas taps across all the science rooms to accommodate that many!
Name: Oi followed by real name, also doubles as social media handles, not sure where it came from, but was said once and then caught on.
I rode a yeti called Dave
My name comes from my early skiing days when me and a few mates were some of the first people to use ski blades thus we told everyone we met that we were bladers and not people who slid on tea trays or used stabilisers. The numbers i had to add so they actually were my numbers for my combination lock at work.
Adjustablewench - my dads silly nickname for me as a child as I was into gymnastics and yoga and could tie myself in knots.
One of my favourite party tricks when I was little was laying on my stomach and arch backwards until I put my feet on my forehead - never found a practice use for that skill.
Some of my joints are still overly bendy but my neck isn't anymore thanks to spinal fusion
Maybe i should now be notsoadjustablewench
EuroMar is a mish-mash of foreign languages that can be used in snow resorts all over the [s]globe [/s]Europe. As the drunken inventor of this new tongue, it was named after me and another nickname was born.
It's my pre-hack username, srtfully shortened.
The film the Edukators and I used to teach.
Admit it Jambalya, your login came from the Carpenters song. 😉
