The kind of riding I do:: Recreational, Commuting, Around Town

What brings you to The Chainlink?: My Friend, Zotex (Scott E. Long - ChicagoMan) of Chicago Critical Mass - and the wonderful bicycling world of Chicago, U.S.A.

About me:: What about me?!?

My first bike:: Blue Schwinn Stingray...Made in (the great City of) Chicago...originally with a white and perhaps blue striped? Banana seat and man, that bike could FLY! That bicycle not only took me to wonderful places all over but could "catch air" off of jumps over much greater distances than the expensive new BMX bikes of the other kids.

Special shout out to all of the 1986 Mongoose ATB Mountain Bikes out there, especially those with 22" Frame and/or 26" Wheels! I can finally lovingly embrace the name Batmobile for those bikes.
