Flatbroke

An honest reference of my social statice.

Scooper

First name initial + last name.

rms13

same here! So basically my user name means I don't really care what the people of the internet think about me enough to come up with a clever handle to use on the bikeforums

Heathpack 

A Heathpack is a clump of heather (as in the flowering plant). No, my name is not Heather IRL. I like the word because it is the name of something beautiful but it's not at all girly-sounding. I also don't like pink on my bike stuff. Although I like pink otherwise, go figure.

I took the word from a poem called Inversnaid by a guy named Gerard Manly Hopkins. Inversnaid is a town in the Scottish highlands, on Loch Lomand. The poem is kind of remarkable, it's describing a little waterfall & brook outside of the town of Inversnaid and if you read it aloud, the poem sounds like a little brook bubbling along. Itlooks very simple but its a technically very impressive poem and the first poem where I finally "got" all that. It was kind of a game-changer for me, I went on after that to pretty seriously study modern poetry. Now I am a veterinarian but my first love remains modern poetry and it was that little poem Inversnaid opened that door for me. To this day, I sometimes recite it out loud when I'm by myself, I just really like the way it sounds.

Lol, my husband is a practical guy, former Navy pilot. He does not "get" poetry. Every now & then I'll start talking about it, trying to explain why some poem is really really good. His typical response is, "Wow, you got a lot out of that". Fortunately for me, he gets cycling. So I have no complaints.

MynameandwhereIlive. (or, My name and where I live)

Carbon Unit

Mine was taken from the first Star Trek movie. The Earthlings were referred to as Carbon Units. I am not a Trekkie but I do ride a carbon bike.

Now, I would like to change my name and have a few in mind. Is it possible to have a name change?

Pendergast

Character in a book I was reading when I signed up.

Monkey D.Luffy

Landfill is also a good name.

Redhatter

Mine's a derivation of The Mad Hatter and an inverted application of the nickname Bluey. At the time I had a blue cap that I more or less lived in.

Ohh, and having re-read that Mad Hatter article on Wikipedia, I confess I do drink lots of cups of tea each day. I don't consider myself a particularly great singer, probably bad enough for someone to want me executed.

roccobike

At the time it was my favorite pet's name + bike. He's passed now, but the name stays.

stlcowboyfan

self-explanatory. My dad was in the Army, stationed in Fort Sill, OK. He said everyone there was a fan of Oklahoma football and since there wasn't a pro team...adopted the Dallas Cowboys. From the time I was old enough to watch television...I've been a Cowboy fan.

Rcrxjlb

The first part means "Racer X" and the last 3 letters are initials of my name. However I used to drag race my El Camino I never raced on bicycles...

Jiggle

The truth about my username is too much for the young readers on this forum.

Johnny Mullet

My name is john and I have a sweet Mullet..............

TheManShow

Mine like my avatar is symbolic of a old TV show. It was not politically correct, but I found it, and most of what was on the man show very funny. The the girls jumping on a trapoline at the opening, and the female mascots called juggies.

HCB

HCB=Henri Cartier Bresson

ButchA

Mine is along the same lines, except mine is my nickname and last name initial.

Butch + Ammon = ButchA

"Butch" came from my oldest sister (10 yrs older than me), who back in 1961 at age 10, saw me for the first time cradled in my moms arms in the hospital, and said these famous words, "Oh, isn't he cute? Let's call him 'Butch' " - - and the rest is history!

I absolutely REFUSE to divulge my real, legal, first name... Ick... I've hated that name for 54 years. I don't care that I'm a "Jr." named after my dad, I can't stand the name!

RDB

My first, middle, and last name initials.

gc3

Inpd

inpd = In No Potential Danger.

Jim from Boston

Username meaning

Boston…Jim from Boston. D’uh.

Actually, besides the simplicity and utility of that screen name, it has a deeper meaning. I’m an avid radio talk show fan, and when I (rarely) call in, I’m introduced as Jim from Boston (…”and now here’s Jim from Boston. What’s up Jim"?).

My nickname on the thread"Metro Boston: Good ride today?" is JfB and a sophisticated BF subscriber on that thread once addressed me as ”James de Boston”; wished I had thought of that.

ZIPP2001

Zipp2001 are two of the bikes I own, and ride the most from my stable. Guys at the local time trials referred to me as Zipp because of the bike.

coppercook62

I am a professional cook and i love copper pots and pans. 62 has no meaning

ravenmore

Mine comes from when I first signed on the internet in the 90's with AOL. Asked me to come up with a username. I put in every variation of my real name I could think of and they all were taken. I then started putting in other stuff - again it was all taken. So put in the name of my favorite poem The Raven - even that was taken. Plugged in the amalgamation of 'Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore' as Ravenmore. That worked.

12strings

I used to play a 12 string guitar...I've since gotten rid of it and only have 2 6-string guitars now.
