That's the Plummer.  It's my favorite bicycle in my collection.  It's also the least expensive.

Greetings and welcome!

I am just your typical tree-hugging, flywheel-building, EV-lovin' bicycle-nut.

I'm right around my one-year anniversary as a Wikipedia editor as of November, 2007. I guess it's about time I set up a real user page. If anyone can help me out with this project, please post a note on my discussion page. Thanks!

[edit] About Me

I am forty-something.

I am married with a daughter and a son.

I live in Santa Clarita, CA

I am currently driving to work, but I am trying to build up an electric bicycle to cover the distance in the same amount of time, while keeping me fit and putting fewer Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

I wrote a science fiction novel, which was fun to do, but I have not really tried to get it published because that seems too much like work.

I recently tried to get a bicycle import business going, but I gave up on it because I wanted to spend more time with my kids.

I write for EVWorld when I have time, but see my previous note about spending time with my kids.

I would love to hear from any of you who feel as though you have something worthwhile to say to me.

[edit] Professional Life

I am an engineer working at Pentadyne Power Corporation in Chatsworth, CA. Pentadyne develops flywheel-based energy storage devices.

From 1998 to 2007 (with two short breaks), I worked for AeroVironment in Monrovia, CA and Simi Valley, CA.

Prior to receiving my engineering degree, I worked primarily in the bicycle industry selling, building and distributing bicycles and associated products. I worked for Moots Cycles, Fuji Bicycles and several bicycle shops. I also built some frames on my own.

That's a photo I took of the eBox by AC Propulsion.  It's a wonderful, practical electric vehicle made by some really great people.
