    Perhaps there are so many geeks on here because geeks are more inclined to use internet forums?

    What I'd like to know is what all your cycling friends do for a living... ones who don't post on here. Then maybe we'll get more accurate numbers.

    I'm a student geek btw.

    I'm a programmer too, in a multinational.
    Wouldn't call myself a nerd though as I know feckall about computers themselves, just good with logic and syntax and a bit of a sql ninja.

    Electronic Engineer for a multi national sub contractor.
    Might as well chalk up another for the nerds.
    Spend my days fixing the machines that test the circuits boards used in computers and other electronic devices.

    You obviously haven't got to the part where they teach you how to write without using any punctuation other than the full stop (I'm referring to the comma in your post) :)

    Has the age of posters here been brought up in the past? I plan on joining the Boards spins once the rowing season finishes but have a feeling I may be but a whippersnapper in comparison to most people here!

    I think there's a fair mix, from young whippersnappers up to the gracefully aging or indeed aged (and everything in between.)
