About me
I'm a Canadian, who loves wikipedia, and loves bicycles, and loves to learn new things. I find adding to articles on wikipedia forces me to understand the material. That said, these days I don't have much time to contribute, and just make minor edits for the most part.
My particular interest in bikes is about nuts and bolts mechanics, and utility cycling.
My bikes
- Soma, Double Cross: done up as a touring bike, I've ridden this one across a few countries.

Images
I'm not an artist, but I'm pretty happy with the way most of my pictures have turned out. I'll show off a bit, and put them up here. Everything's been done using Inkscape, GIMP, or a combination of the two. Here is a list of all my images.
-
This is my first image, I didn't do much, just edited and labled it. -
I did this one from scratch, (by scratch I mean by tracing a photo). -
-
An easy way to make an exploded diagram, with a cheap camera and Gimp. -
My prized Dura-Ace 8spd down-tube shifters on my touring bike. -
Not my photo. I greyed out the background to emphasize the brake. -
my most complex exploded diagram yet, I'm pleased with how it turned out. -
A token non-bicycle image, a map of Tibet.
