What?!

xyzzy is a company that makes front shock forks for mountain bikes...!


I did not know that.

I named my bot "xyzzy" because of the obvious links to the names of the
axes, and also because it was a magic word (that transported you) in
advent, an old text-based adventure game. More info here:

Btw, a google search on "xyzzy bike mountain shock" (no quotes) doesnt
turn up anything about a company that makes mountain bike shocks.
