My dad used and still uses to drive to work by bike and i had to drive to school by bike...i wheedled my parents into buying a roadbike for me
My cycling club is about one hour by train, so i cannot go there very often and in my hometown there is no good bike shop...
When the World Championships were in Stuttgart, i travelled there in got autographs form the Schlecks, Zabel, J.J Haedo, Ciolek, Voigt, Barredo and 30 other riders and bottles from Piti, Ballan, Fuyu Li, Millar and some other riders...(anybody interested in the bottle of Piti?)
I'm from the same city VÃctor Hugo Peña is, and my father's family is from the same town Soler is, so I saw them training several times. And once I was introduced to Peña's wife, a psychology student at that time and member of the national roller skating team (and quite a hottie, btw).

I am interested in that bottle. Sure he doped. In fact there might be some left behind somehow. But he's still a huge icon and to get it would be pretty cool. I would prefer one of the others though.
I raced some races on junior level in the same team as Rein Taaramäe, one tour we were even put in the same room. My father knows all Estonian pros and also older guys who were pros or top guys in USSR team (he raced with many of them and was also in USSR team), he is not exactly friends with all of them but they at least know who he is. He's also a good friend with Jaan Kirsipuu's father and brother (that was useful, got a lot of Ag2r stuff while Jaan was there). Haven't met any foreign stars but hope that changes.
and in my hometown there is no good bike shop...
