My name is Klaus,
I'm 32 years old and live in St. Gallen/Switzerland near Lake Constance. Originally, I come from Germany where I studied civil engineering / geotechnical engineering. Since 2002, I work now in Switzerland.
I started cycling in 2000, first as a compensation for running (marathon) and wrestling
. Soon, I liked cycling much more than the other two disciplines and so I concentrated on cycling in 2001. My first event was Trondheim-Oslo in Norway, 540 km nonstop in 16:61... 
2002 and 2003, I started at several events in Germany, Norway and Austria, e.g.:
- Quelle Challenge Roth, Relay -> 180 km in 4:51
- Trondeim-Oslo -> 540 km in 16:13
- Ötztaler Radmarathon -> 238 km in 8:48
2004, 2005 and 2006 were affected by a number of severe illnesses, so I could only start at a few more races, such as the "Transalp", a road race across the alps starting at Germany and ending at Italy. Hopefully, in 2007 I can do some serious training again...
If so, I can chose between these bikes:
