[edit] About me

I'm a Canadian, who loves wikipedia, and loves bicycles, and loves to learn. I'm adding stuff to wikipedia as I learn about them.

My particular interest in bikes is about nuts and bolts mechanics, and utility cycling.

[edit] My bikes

Soma, Double Cross: done up as a touring bike, I've ridden this one across a few countries.
Ridgeback Genesis, day 00: cheap and cheerful flat bar road bike.
Marinoni Sportivo new frame with old Shimano 600 components. My posh bike.

[edit] Images

I'm not an artist, but I'm pretty happy with the way most of my pictures have turned out. I'll show off a bit, and put them up here. Everything's been done using Inkscape, GIMP, or a combination of the two.
