Tall, slim, and keep pretty fit by doing lots of crazy cycling. Not really handsome by any stretch of the imagination, but in good shape, and people often think I'm younger than I am. Often a bit scruffy and beardy.

Professional, of the nerdy variety. Friendly, but a little introverted.

When I'm not cycling, my spare time is spent learning guitar (slowly and badly), catching penguins (no, not for dinner...ask me why.)

I'm an animal nut, and love helping with wildlife conservation when I can, particularly if I can get out of the city to do it. I wish I could have a dog, but I live alone and don't have the time to look after one as well as I'd like.

Anyone fun, easy going, playful, and nice. I'm a sucker for a strong, intelligent woman. I love a partner who likes to take their time and explore. Sensual is sexy. I also have weaknesses for beautiful eyes, and redheads.

I'm after something relatively casual for now. Doesn't mean we can't be friends, but it'll be friends with some playing rather than a relationship. :) Also up for some sneaky purely sexual experiences.

Anything involving the outdoors, or long, lazy days in bed.

Brazil, American Beauty, anything directed by Sofia Coppola

All sorts of stuff! Lately listening to The Decemberists, Tune-Yards, Ray Lamontagne, The Civil Wars

Don't watch much TV, but love West Wing and Firefly

This is hard! Love kids books. The Little Prince, Harry Potter, Narnia. My favourite grown-up book is probably The Name of The Rose.

Everything. There isn't much I don't eat.

Cycling, tennis, formula 1

Guitar, catching penguins, anything involving fresh air
