OK that's a classic thread in any online forum..

le car?
That was the name I wanted to give to my magazine 7 years ago, before moving to London. It ended up being Intersection.

The Renault Le Car was a fantastic example of a failed attempts to crack the US market from a French car manufacturer. Gotta love it. Being (half) French and having launched my magazine in the states now, it's probably a good thing that name was not chosen.

I kept it for all the forums I join - even if they're about bikes.

RPM: my initials

nothing to do with how slowly I can pedal!

Shit, now I have to change mine to something with a story behind it.

another forum i post on and ride mtb's with some of them have silly names like 'sexpest' and '8-ball', often these names would be used out on ride which i always thought was a bit silly so i use 'MrSmith' as it's anonymous but still me.

Because I ride fixedwheel and every one says I'm nut's

Cos this bowl happened to be next to my laptop when it came to deciding my screen name ... It's been in my family for 40 years, and it hasn't broken yet!
like lecar, i'm half french too, so i think that adds credibility.

It's almost a pity you didn't go for the foreign fag-spoilers instead. What language is that?

I was going to go for pretty_bikes_make_graves when i signed up to another forum but i must have typo'd my email address and couldnt sign up again without choosing a different name. My bag was rattling that day. Lame I know.

can I point out that La Plus Gourmande means "The one with mosy gluttony" or something similar, but that it is a feminine sentence, applied to a woman.
Do we have a girl amongst us?! Rejoice!

i was in austria at a rave with a glowstick in my shoe and met a breakdancing crew from london and went back to see them and they said "hey glowfoot!" they couldnt remember my real name, so i started to dance for them as glowfoot, or glow... and also my handlebars are green

The Hovis Brown range encompasses Wholemeal, Original Wheatgerm, and Farmhouse Wholemeal.

Don't know why i chose it. perhaps it's something to do with me being squishy, or perhaps that it sounds vaguely like real name?

Yep lecar we have at least one girl amongst us... I presume there are others?!

SSK= my initials, but also my first name hold the vowels....wasn't feeling very creative.

oh shit, i just realized my name is feminine...but i'm not gluttonous, i mean the bowl was just there. My name sucks.

switching to "le plus gourmand" could bring back your lost masculine pride

And rejoice for Saskia's presence among us nerds.

I'm stupid & I like ponies, who don't? Yorgo, you was out drinking with me Julie, how goes it? Shite about the foot. still.

Just as bad. Hmmm, i think i need to change my name. I'll sleep on it ......

Mine's my real name without vowels.

Jos.....uhm well that's my name innit.

I entered a talent show 17 years ago as "MC Willski - the worlds worst rapper". I came second. The name stuck.

Word.

Kipps is my name. Used to like 'Kipper', but since its become associated with an annoying little dog that my kids loved to read about I've opted for the only alternative.

I would've associated it to Red Dwarf.

As in "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!"?

I wish we had had Red Dwarf in primary school instead of Oxford Reading Tree

been called murtle for 25 years (long story) when i signed up for an email address, someone already had it, so changed last two digits to 13, my old call sign, and when i signed up for ebay, someone already had that so just reversed it, used it ever since

"Brake horsepower (bhp)

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower)."

1bhp is probably a bit generous this morning as i'm sat here with a stinking hangover
it's also my intials, Dad is a bit of petrol-head

Hey, hangover! Me too.. blurgh! Luckily spewing my guys up last night meant I could still ride (what's the equivalent of crawl on a bike?)

hippy or firsthippy: My nickname is hippy but some fsckers beat me to it on other sites so I use firsthippy.
It started due to having very long hair and perma-stoned appearance, neither of which I have any more (I think).

because Brick is the first sylabol of my surname.
