Lost in translation

I was way too bored yesterday so I googled myself. It's okay to google yourself, right? I mean everybody does it, don't they? You won't go blind, and it can be fun. So I'm googling around, and I found this mention of my name in a foreign biking forum (scroll down till you see the picture of me riding in the rocks). I think it's in Finnish, but when I tried using an online translator it was hard to understand anything it spit out except "Team Penis". I don't think I want to change my nickname to Team Penis. Doesn't really have much of a ring to it.


Gotta get out and ride tomorrow. Unfortunately my plans are up in the air till I hear from The Wonderboy. My fate lies in his dirty hands.

1 - Hi,

The text your name was mentioned in was indeed in finnish. Can't figure out why translator would think Dicky is penis in finnish, doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, that post an answer to a guy who's complaining about the weight of his bike, and thinking of buying a lighter geared hardtail. :D Then the poster mentions your category win and your blog.

Hope this helps, and more power to the streets. United we trackstand (Comment this)

Another cool way to ... uh... google yourself is type in:

link:teamdicky.blog.com

this will show all the sites that link to your site.

And:

inurl:teamdicky

will show all the sites that have "teamdicky" in the URL.

See ya' round-
