What is your first memory of riding a bicycle?	I don’t remember my first bike, I don’t even remember learning to ride a bike. What I do remember however is when my bike was stolen from my backyard when I was a child. That was the first time I remember ever feeling heartache.
Why do you ride a bicycle?	I ride bikes to break free from reality. Its my outlet, and without it I would probably go nuts. Riding bikes also lets me enjoy tacos and beer without feeling too much guilt.
What does Bearded Women mean to you?	It means I have friends!
