Linda Roeder

Bio: My name is Linda Roeder and I have been writing for online sites since 1998 and have written articles for several different sites. Some of the sites I have written for are About.com, AllInfoAbout.com, Suite101 and Associated Content. I found writing after many years of doing something completely different. I was an accountant for many years.

One day I saw an ad for an online writer. Write articles, gather links and keep the site organized, it said. I can do that, I told myself. Since I was out on maternity leave anyway I decided I had the time. I wrote the application and went through the extensive hiring process. I got the job. I've been doing it ever since and now it is my life.

I have taken on the topic of bike racing for HowToDoThings because my son is a bike racer both in the velodrome and on the road. He's very good. I have learned tons about bike racing since he started and want to share it with other people who may want to become bike racers themselves.

Bike racing is not for the weak. Oh no. It is for the strong and the strong at heart. It required a lot of discipline and time, but if you can do it, it's well worth it. The people are great too. I haven't met a bike racer I didn't like, yet.
