I've been an avid cyclist for over a decade. I raced back in the day and now stick to commuting and touring. I also like to do my own maintenance, rebuild a bike here and there, and whenever I get a new bike (again, not as often as I'd like) I usually pick each part out individually and build it from the ground up.
I've been learning web development for some time now. I'm self-teaching in my spare time, so it's slow progress.
I've also recently discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I wouldn't call myself a "power user" so it's even slower progress than the web development.
I've been working in libraries for over a decade. I'm currently a Senior Public Services Associate at the Daniel Boone Regional Library.

Repurpose old android phone (without cell phone plan) as cycle computer with GPS tracking? I don't want to flag this since it's a good question and on topic, but you might get better answers at Android SE or perhaps GIS SE. Cross posting on SE sites is frowned upon though, so it's really up to you whether or not you want to migrate it. android.stackexchange.com gis.stackexchange.com meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/64068/… |

How do I find the right derailleur (gear-mech)? @area5one The frame is irrelevant. The only compatibility issues that you have to worry about are between the number of gears and the brand of the derailleur and shifter. |

How do I find the right derailleur (gear-mech)? @arthur It's always been my understanding that Sram and Shimano cassettes are interchangeable, but you have to run Sram derailleurs with Sram shifters and likewise for Shimano. |

Why are 3 inches mountain bike handlebar hard to find? This is an interesting question but I'm not sure if it's a "practical, answerable" question. bicycles.stackexchange.com/faq |

Waterproof spray or waterproof pannier cover? @user1170304 That is certainly true, but compression sacks that were just flimsy fabric would take up even less space and serve the same purposes. That's actually how I load my Ortliebs. (I wasn't kidding when I said I'm a space-weenie.) |
