Mister Bicycle

I'm a moutain biker, BITCH!

About Me



"I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" On The Road (1957)
I like taking pictures:

My Interests

There is more to life than bikes you know.... but not much more.

I'd like to meet:

Girls who ride bikes. (No bands or cam girls please!)When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. ~H.G. Wells
