About Me

A full carbon race bike: Specialized Tarmac Pro
A single speed road bike: FC inizio
A vintage Bianchi (still assembling)
A cyclocross bike: Redline Conquest Pro

I work for my alma mater as a researcher full time and I am finally almost done with my Masters in Medical Informatics.

I have one ferret, a dog, and two hedgehogs. They’re great roomates. Adam and Eric think that I’m married and I drive a minivan, but this all a heinous lie.

Beverage of choice: currently – water

My new web page: http://wch759.googlepages.com

I think what I dislike about cyclists the most is that they always have something to say about other cyclists. Isn’t it the most important that we’re all just riding?

What are the chances of getting you to fly out for the FetishFest in CT?

Hah hah! Your mountain bike looks like something I rode when I was 8! Hah hah!

Thanks! I live by kimball and lawrence. If you ever need another rider to ride with, just let me know.

the trek lime is awesome where it is (at the bike shop, and not in my house) i want a soft ride with the SRAM RED group on it!

Left by wch759 on May 22, 2007

Hows that Trek Lime treating you? I saw one at a bike shop this weekend and it was awesome! Automatic transmission!

Email me a couple measurements of the size you want the decals, I want to go into the shop next week to do mine, so I'll get some proofs together for you and email them to ya. I'll do a few font options, I have some pretty sweet gothic fonts. Tlyledesign@gmail.com

Left by wch759 on October 10, 2006

Strap a cross to your back and join in the race!

Left by Eric on October 10, 2006

I don't think god will mind if you miss choir practice to see us run the marathon - in fact, i bet he'll be running with us. wont that be a sight to see.

Andy, here is the Chicago marathon course map:

We've spent forever training for this thing, so I better see you with a bag or two of Cliff blocks.

Update your profile/picture.

When are you allowed to come out and ride?

Left by Adam on September 30, 2006

I was thinking about you today.. about how we were at Piece and we noticed your beer was empty and asked what happened.. and you had already gulped it down. hahahah

Left by Eric on September 14, 2006

Are you ever free on Tuesdays? We got once or twice a month.

Left by Adam on September 08, 2006

Two beers = Free dinner at The Maproom on Tuesdays, http://maproom.com/calendar.htm

Because we love you Andy.

shutup doofus.

Left by wch759 on August 31, 2006

Oh wait.. maybe you're going to eat the dog.

Left by Eric on August 27, 2006

A dog... why?! You already have too many rodents and a girlfriend. Isn't that enough? When should we expect the minivan and kids? Seriously they're not that far off. Get off this dangerous path as soon as you can.

Left by Eric on August 27, 2006

So you got a dog.. man, now you'll never ride your bike with us again.

Left by Adam on August 26, 2006

Andy, you wanna ride sometime? We may be going out to the trails the weekend -- or maybe we'll go do a road ride out in the burbs. Let me know if you're gonna be free.

Left by Adam on August 08, 2006

Yo did you go riding?

Left by Adam on August 05, 2006

Did you get out to Palos? It's just too hot to do much of anything. It's susposed to cool down later in the week though.

Left by Adam on August 01, 2006

What day you wanna ride road?

Left by Adam on July 25, 2006

Dude ill get back to all your emails very soon. Sorry for being slow.

Left by Eric on July 21, 2006

Let's ride Sunday. We can pick you up. It's kinda on the way to the trail.

Left by Adam on July 13, 2006

why doesn't your user name just say "Andy" - and I hope you're paying under $550/mo for your new apt - if youre not, you should have moved to Logan Square. I'm broke as hell too, but I lived in a great little 1-Bdrm for cheap as shit, and I wasn't in the deep south.

Left by Cheryl on June 24, 2006

Damnit Andy, once I get my bike built up and get back from vacation we need to ride again. It's been months. We rode plenty when it was fucking freezing but now that its nice out... nothing. I know you'll wont forget riding those 12 miles into the snow and a strong headwind. Anyway, you should've moved next door instead of 6 miles away.

Left by Adam on June 19, 2006

yeah dude, good luck in the ghetto. you thought pilsen had gang violence! ha! Plus its lame that you're 6+ miles from the two coolest biking buddies you could have had, if you moved anywhere in chicago that was reasonably kosher. i wonder if i'll ever see you again...... :(

Left by Cheryl on June 18, 2006

Sorry Andy, we're going to be on Vacation from June 29th thru July 10th. Cheryl send's her concern regarding your new neighborhood. Buy renters insurance and start lifting weights. Buy some heavy chains for those bikes. You know what they say, south of the loop redline at night -- somethin aint right.

Left by Adam on June 16, 2006

Andy where did you go? Sell me your bikes since you don't ride them anymore. I'll give you $150 each.

Left by Adam on June 09, 2006

When was the last time you rode?

Left by Eric on April 24, 2006

What time is good for you this weekend? Cheryl will be gone so I'll have her Inizio to embarass you on.

shutup you

Left by wch759 on February 28, 2006

Maybe you two should talk out your problems over some cold ones down at finn mccools.

Left by Eric on February 28, 2006

Yeah, my bad...never thought that it could possibly ever be meant as "ridiculous" in a good way, like as in, "wow that is really cool" or "man, that is crazy" - so I guess I apologize for the shit I said a while ago in my Blog "edit" when I truly thought you were saying "ahhh, ridiculous" as in "this is the most stupid thing I have ever seen"...sorry Andy. That little clarification entirely changes its meaning - makes me a lot less 'bitter' about the whole thing now.

Left by mizunole on February 05, 2006

I'm free on Saturday night and sometime on Sunday -- I really wanna ride, so let me know what your schedule looks like.

Left by Adam on February 03, 2006

I was going to ask you a question about track in reference to my Blog about the necessity of brakes when running a freewheel on the drivetrain, but chessdork and victor have answered them already - but I know between your two fixies and upcoming track racing that you'd be a good person to ask...victor answered in trhe comment section of my profile instead of the blog; you might find it interesting and your feedback would be helpful too. hope you had a good time skiing and welcome back to the site. later.

Left by wesley124 on January 31, 2006

Yo dude, just took a quick ride to the aquarium and back... I never knew the path was lit at night before you told me. It was awesome! We gotta rip it up more often.

Left by Adam on January 27, 2006

There are currently 14 bikes at Fetish waiting to be built and shipped. If you put in your order now, you could have the money saved up in time! Or if it comes time to build, and you're not ready.. no big deal. Don't need to put the money down first.

Dude reading your profile makes we want to be in school again! I would love to share a beer with you some time.

Left by chunky dunker on January 22, 2006

You have two bikes that can already tear up the road. Get a mountain bike. It's not something you will ever regret.

Left by Adam on January 20, 2006

You should try out racing. I'm not sure how "flat" the courses are out here, but in Connecticut (where I'm from) -- beginner racing is nothing to laugh it. The top competetors are very talented riders and push a quick pace. I finished 4th in the state in my first beginners racing series several years back.

Left by Adam on January 20, 2006

Also, check this one out: http://www.bicyclesetc-il.com/dorc/ It's not updated for 2006, but I plan on doing the races offered by these guys (even if its only 2).
