been racing bikes since I was about 15, yeah. time trials mainly.
I can ride, I can swim, I can't run right now. have a broken foot, but riding doesn't bother me.

that's my current TT bike.
sans the aero bars and the aero seat tube, and a few little things like the cyclometer and a water bottle cage holder behind the saddle.
