I've been tagged

I was tagged by Janet awhile ago and forgot all about it.

If you could have any one — and only one — bike in the world, what would it be? I don’t have a “dream bike” but I have been very keen on the Superfly and other 29er geared bikes. I would also love to have bike for general commuting and a new road bike. Once I have both of those, my bike posse will be complete.

Do you already have that coveted dream bike? No. If not, are you working toward getting it? If you’re not working toward getting it, why not? Yes, I’m working to get it. Plans for both are in the works in the next three years.

If you had to choose one — and only one — bike route to do every day for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why? Part of being a well-rounded, thoughtful human being is to not limit your self. If I had to choose I would pick a trail at Michaux State Forest.

What kind of sick person would force another person to ride one and only one bike ride to do for the rest of her / his life? Someone who never has any fun.

Do you ride both road and mountain bikes? If both, which do you prefer and why? If only one or the other, why are you so narrow-minded? I ride both but would almost always choose to ride the mountain bike. It’s my first true love after all. Road riding is good in the spring when you can’t ride on the trails.

Have you ever ridden a recumbent? If so, why? I tried a double recumbent in a parking lot once because I was curious if it would work for my sister who can’t ride a bike because of disabilities.

Have you ever raced a triathlon? If so, have you also ever tried strangling yourself with dental floss? Yes and yes.

Suppose you were forced to either give up ice cream or bicycles for the rest of your life. Which would you give up, and why? That’s even more unfair than the question about riding one trail only. I wouldn't give up ice cream or biking because luckily I understand the concept of free will.

What is a question you think this questionnaire should have asked, but has not? Also, answer it........Did you have a kickstand and reflectors on the first mountain bike you owned? Yes but they came off very quickly.

You’re riding your bike in the wilderness (if you’re a roadie, you’re on a road, but otherwise the surroundings are quite wilderness-like) and you see a bear. The bear sees you. What do you do? That will never happen.

I'm supposed to tag three other people. I don’t know three other bloggers who read my blog so this could be interesting: Nicole, Lunatic Biker, Dana.
