Not another limp wristed computer geek?

The reason so many geeks like bikes/ride bikes is that they realise the superior power to weight ratio and price when compared to cages.

Not to mention riding bikes is one of the best things you can do in life.

Yeah I'm a computer technician as usual..

Bikes made me ditch computers big time and working with computers every day sorta killed it too (like the fatty in a Bigmac shop).

very strong wrist, right wrist infact.

**N4CR** · 4th May 2005, 23:39

Yeah there are 3... and I'm the fastest

'looks at speeding ticket' AND THAT PROVES IT

Part of the reason I ride bikes is its time when I don't have to think about computers, being able to fully concentrate on something other than PC's is a great way to take the mind off things. One of the problems I have with my job is if I can't sort a problem before I leave for the day, It will dwell on my mind until I do get it fixed, riding is a great way to get around this.

**phantom** · 5th May 2005, 08:21

I scored 35.89744% - "Major Geek". I would have scored higher if they put having PDA as a separate thing and listed "Cyberpunk" under "I play". I would also have had an "I have GMed" section and they totally missed out "LARP" (Live Action Role Play) and knowing things like: what "LART", "PFY", "PHB" and "BOFH" mean...

They also tend to lump all species of geek together. I didn't score as high as I would have expected as I am not a maths geek or a band geek so I had to leave a lot of answers blank.

I would have written the test so that it would have tailored subsequent questions based on certain answers - omitting any maths or music related ones for those who did not tick "Maths club" or "Attended Band Camp" (this one time, at band camp....) or at least factoring them out of the calculation.

If that previous paragraph does not conclusively prove me a geek, nothing will

I agree with the earlier post: there should have been "you have: A favourite smilie" - instant increase in geekiness for ALL KBers
