Actually, one of the reasons I kind of like threads like this is that they make you realize it really *doesn't *matter. I'm always vaguely surprised to find out what other cyclists do for a living, because it seems so out of keeping with what I already know about them. I've often hung out in the pub with (for example) an engineer, a law student, a pianist, a squatter and a waitress, and felt amazed when I realized how 'different' they all were, because people all seem much of a muchness when they're in the pub or on the bike. I suppose this means that bikes are a great leveller or something. Whaddayathink?
