Hello, from Tempe AZ

Hi all! I live in Tempe AZ and love it here, I enjoy the heat and cycling in it! I commute to work by Personal Electric Vehicle / E-Scooter, and folding bike! I ride MTB and have also touched on road bikes in the past as well! I made the transition with a 700C hybrids into mountain.


I mainly joined to share my experiences as I go along the way, if I need help I am sure I will be able to learn from research and asking for help, if I get stuck on something that is

For my bikes / other transport I own 2 folding bikes, 4 mountain bikes, 1 E-Scooter, even a RipStick which I like to ride sometimes. I want to get other weird bikes too, like recumbent type of course and a unicycle (that sooner than later)


I do hardware repair on Computer systems, from advanced smt micro soldering to the most elementary type of work. I love being able to save computers and other electronics (including bikes) from the land fill, and rehome recycled items like computers. I currently work in a small business with only 4 employees, and it's going well! In my free time, I enjoy Sim Racing in Assetto Corsa, and also of course riding.

Welcome to bikeforums from a fellow desert dweller and sun-baked cyclist. Much to see here. Enjoy!

Hi Some, I'm Rollfast and I became aware today that I'm outclassed, outgunned and otherwise out of touch but I make up for it with tank bikes and a lot of burger in the freezer!

Go walk about the place and 8 posts from now we all can marvel at yer stuff!

You'll learn plenty. Welcome!
