Poor guy, I feel for him as he obviously took this very hard. He valued someone elses life more than his own.

Absofreakinlutely not! What are you thinking man? Get ahold of yourself! How can you call yourself a cyclist and even consider the thought of running? I ride my bike from the couch to the fridge and back so I don't have to walk, let alone run. Pretty soon you'll be talking about signing...

Go easy on me BIG Dave....when I'm not in race trim I weigh 156 + or - and about 145 in good shape.

We have a winner! I'm just amazed it took so long to guess that I'm a bicycle cop. And by the way the pic that Race Radio posted is not of me.:)

Now that was a creative guess. I am not an actor.

Speaking of fluid pedaling I recently read somewhere (yes I know not being able to remember my source diminishes the info) that testing was performed on different types of cyclists to determine what group would have the most fluid/smooth/efficient (don't want to be berated for not saying it...

I'm kind of curious how you guys discovered what your cycling niche was or is and how long it took before your lightbulb of discovery happened.

I probably do need to work on being more aero on the road bike as I would probably burn less energy and not fizzle out as easily.

On the mountain biking technical limit/physical limit thing, I agree in some aspects with what you are saying but disagree in others if I get your meaning correctly. I believe that mountain biking requires more bike technical skills or handling ability than road biking. I believe that...

Technique wise I am pretty decent on the MTB, and can be somewhat on the edge descending. I let it hang out. So I'm sure this plays somewhat of a roll but generally in my limited experience you seem to spend a lot more time climbing than descending so climbing is where I gain my advantage, if...

Yes, I do have some crazy cycling companions as they have completed super tough rides like the furnace creek 508 miler, RAAM qualified, and many 275 mile+ one day rides.
