11. Anything else you'd like to share with us?

I use my bicycle as my primary means of transportation, with the exception of when I am with my family...or in social situations which sometimes necessitates my driving with my wife and kids. I hope to be personally car-less in the not too distant future. I have 8 bicycles, which I use for different purposes and I am in the process of designing and building my own bicycle, which I had prototyped in college--to replace my car--and this prompted me to start ebrary, my current company.
