He’s such a ham, he pumps up the jamb, Pumps like a drone. Tries to impress us with Testosterone. Hangs with, and interrogates obscure musical types. Has never been seen in the same room, at the same time with “Red Chester”. |
|
Along with Pumper, another originator. Has a strong dislike of brakes. Able to recover in world record time, never been a hill or mountain he can’t climb. Has been seen on a pole with Axle. |
|
Has a re-tooled Heart of Gold! Now he’s better instead of old. He’s a good man, on this we’re sold. Last trip, we barely heard a peep. I guess he was counting sheep. He rides down the road and looses his beeper, we don’t care, to us he’s a keeper!

Our foreign exchange Sprocket from across the pond News Peddlers cousin, Roger first rode with the Sprockets in 1981. He moved to the UK in 1999 and he recently rejoined us again. He loves outdoor challenges, he’s a veteran of numerous 60-mile-long UK charity Hill Walks in under 24hrs, and he’s also completed week-long treks in China, Nepal and Peru.

|
Always turning at the “hub” of the matter, never one for mindless chatter. To him the Sprockets and Spokes are tied. Though lacking in cartilage, he still can ride. Known to impersonate a flag. He’s the King of all his Queens! |
|
When the inner tube lets loose, it all comes out in a rush! Able to last long miles under high pressure, but highly susceptible to a sudden jab from obstacles in the road. He’s the King of the Road. He got the “Rocky Sprocket Blues”, he done paid HIS dues. |
|
How many miles have we ridden? He’ll let us know with a smile on his face, never hidden. To mark his space, he’s been known to place, cheese snacks. All over the place! |
|
The “man with the plan”, and a Will of iron. Has been heard on a soapbox, in Pumpers living room environ. A natural born instigator, he likes the high gears, pedaling along like a percolator!
|
|
Alive by the Hand Of God! Able to learn the in’s and out’s of life by observing the elder Sprockets behavior, or lack thereof. “Hi..I’m Bernard” was his line, we all think he’s just fine! |
|
Professional bachelor? Only for a while. Dislikes preaching, it ain’t his style. He does like girls, this we know, so on a hot date we want him to go. He’s the King of Cow Hill. He now wears the crown. His good E-mail come-backs he needs to share. Just so we know he’s there! |
|
A credit to the British, he pedals upright from the start. He’s a strong rider, for an old fart! Intelligent, and well read, he loves his soccer, and staying in bed. Down the road on his bike he likes to go. |
|
The Bionic Man, he’s really HIP! And strong to the finish, let me give you a tip. An Ex-triathlete, he got guts. He fits right in. We knew he was nuts! (AKA the Quickster) |
|
Military Man. Tech expert. Iron man on his bicycle. Great tech teacher. Big Guns. Admits he was distracted by Bright Shinny Things in 2008. Capable of debating a subject from an intelligent perspective. He’s our Sprocket website creator and maintainer. Known to fall asleep on the couch while other Sprockets make enough noise to raise the dead. Best Guacamole north of Texas. Loves the most expensive Bourbon you can buy. |
|
Spends winter months playing pickleball and trying to keep up with 80 year old bicyclists in Fla. Spends the other three seasons waiting for other Sprockets to keep up with him in CT. Builds spec houses and flip projects in CT, races and survives crashes at Lime Rock racing park in CT and Watkins Glenn in NY. Always thinking, always working, always planning. His goal is to retire early Another Mini-Man
