Other Two Wheeled Passions

Something different? Other passions?
My signature names mine. I think there are many of you here who know what they are. If you don't, well, they're bicycles. I'm a "cyclist". I am truly a nut about it! I ride (train) almost daily. I belong to two clubs, one a casual group and the other a racing club. I do race (criteriums, circuit races, time trials and road races). All of the bikes, save my Cannondale M500, are fairly exotic as bicycles go. The Look 566 and the Bianchi L'una are European marks, and both are carbon framed thoroughbreds. The Look is French made, and is a beautiful, exquisite bicycle. The Bianchi is particularly special; it's an Italian made machine equipped with a gorgeous Italian Campagnolo Chorus "gruppo" (shifters, derailleurs, brakes, and rear cassette). The Felt B2 is a very light aircraft aluminum framed "funny bike"; a bike meant purely for racing, it's a low profile time trial machine with "aerobars" and other wind cheating appliances. The Giant CFR Team is an "old school" lugged carbon framed race bike from the early nineties, painted a bright yellow.
I love them all, and I ride them all.
Oh - you can find me on www.bikeforums.net. I'm "sarals" over there, too.
