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.

Oct 15	comment	As recumbents are low to the ground and hard to see, how to you use one safely on a normal road? Welcome to Bicycles Stack Exchange. It is preferable on Stack Exchange sites to keep answer posts limited to answering the original poster's question. This particular post would be a bitter fit in the comment section under the original question rather than an answer.
