    A DEXA scan is a special type of X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA stands for “dual energy X-ray absorptiometry”.
    I thank you.

    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 🙁

    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…

    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.

    It’s not an ‘S’

    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.

    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 😀

    I was, in a past life, an aeronautical engineer with a want for making the impractical fly. I also talk gibberish.

    theres also a collection of vintage bikes named after me

    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.
