Real Life Job: Nerd

Qualities:

1. Will have a go at anything
2.Can always be relied on to be 'up for a ride'

Shortcomings:

1. A bit of a show off
2. Can't map read or even remember a route from the previous week
3. A brand-whore (will buy anything as long as it says Specialized, Hope or Fox on it)
4. Did I say he was a bit of a show off?
5. You're so vain, I bet you think this website's about you

Special moment:
