N0bodyOfTheGoat

As much as I would love to say it was because I have Chris Hoy's power on a bike, although I suspect he uses a higher gear then ~65 gear inches, my alias is down to my sim racing passion! :P

Squarepants

My names James and I used to wear a suit with a square stitch in it. One of the boys put the two together (coupled with the likable charecter from binkini bottom) and came up with Jimbob Squarepants. Other variations are sponge jim squareflops (i also wear flip flops a lot) and simply squareflops.

From my avatar and comment one may assume I'm really into vintage drag racing, not really at all, just sort of happened to come together, just a coincidence theyre on the same topic.

meeshu

Basically a family pet's nick name given by my father.

mattward1979

first name and last name =P

TheDrunkMonk

I'm a Shaolin monk. I gave it up because the temple was going to the dogs, and they came in with that no drinking or smoking in public areas crap. Took up cycling when I got too fat to break broom sticks with my gut.

Or

I had a wasted teen life watching too many Shaw Brothers films, and now I find it hard to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

("Wasted" in the positive sense, obviously)

floosy

because my wife named the bike "floosy"

not that I am..

Mithras

Mithras...the Soldiers God....I love history and in particular the Old Gods and Goddesses.

Mithras is the god of the soldier.

Mithras, God of the Morning, our trumpets waken the Wall!
'Rome is above the Nations, but Thou art over all!'
Now as the names are answered and the guards are marched away,
Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day!

Mithras, God of the Noontide, the heather swims in the heat.
Our helmets scorch our foreheads, our sandals burn our feet.
Now in the ungirt hour--now ere we blink and drowse,
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows!

Mithras, God of the Sunset, low on the Western main--
Thou descending immortal, immortal to rise again!
Now when the watch is ended, now when the wine is drawn,
Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn!

Mithras, God of the Midnight, here where the great bull dies,
Look on thy children in darkness. Oh take our sacrifice!
Many roads thou hast fashioned--all of them lead to the Light:
Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright!

I used to study wasp sounds.

I found a 12" record of European wasps from a second hand record shop and I didn't recognise any of them at all.

I checked with the shopkeeper and it turned out I was listening to the B side.

I had the same LP and I thought the best tracks were on the B side. I used to hum along to them all.

An old girlfriend got me that album too. She was a real honey.

Fifer

I come from Fife, hence the name Fifer

Roscobob

Why didn't I think of that!

CiB

In a word, anonymity.

Dave.
Towcester.

softlad

the nickname the other fellas in my first road club gave me when I joined. I had come from an MTB background and used to get my head kicked in (metaphorically speaking) whenever I went out training with them. I did improve, but the name stuck.....

Disclaimer: this was a long time ago and I'm sure road clubs are far more politically correct now....or maybe not....

KINGGARY

Because you couldn't get further from royalty than me! :P

shortyman

Anagram of my real name!
