C&v Us
How about a thread with classic and vintage pictures of US on our bikes........
These pics were from a BBC (Baltimore Bicycle Club) ride from around 1980 -1982ish. I am on my old Trek 820 I think.

Thankfully, I don't think there are many old photos of me floating around from that era.

I apologize if you've seen this before.
2 days and about 210 miles from home. Headed to Colorado in a great big hurry. I'm behind the silver Trek. I used to have hair.
In the picture, IIRC, are two Trek 620's, on Cannondale ST400 (the touring model without the canti's), a Nishiki Cresta, A 1979 or 1981 Raleigh, I think Nottingham built, and one bike I can't remember. The Raleigh and the unknown bike are out of sight.

Here I am with my Scout Troup on the C&O Canal along the Potomac River someplace in Maryland. The year is either 1974 or 75. I'm the one with the red ball cap and blue sweat shirt in the back row, 4th from the left. I'm on my first drop bar bike, a Puch built Sears Free Spirit. Sadly the bike was stolen from my college dorm about 2 years later.

These are from about 1970, I have posted them before. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with other bikes, at least none found so far.

Here is one more I just found. It is of me racing BMX with CSRC which stands for Cockeysville Springlake Recreation Center.....if I remember right. The bike was a Hutch Pro Racer with Phil Wood hubs. Year was around 1980 or 1981. I still have those Bill Walter racing pants somewhere.

I don't think I even suffered a scratch from that one. That same bike is the one that I decided to take over a horribly constructed ramp made of sand and plywood. That time I landed on my head. My career as a BMX rider ended after that. 
A generous offer indeed, but I think I'll pass

My mother was a penny pincher. While other kids where riding Schwinn Phantoms, Columbias, Murrays and Huffys, I was riding a ...gasp....Baronia! It was sort of a West German Magna. True, the West Germans didn't know how to build a bike that fell apart, still it was a drab, inexpensive, unexciting, early department store bike. So for me, Huffy would have been a big step up.
Sorry no pics of me on a vintage bike and I can't ride for another 78 days due to a rotator cuff operation.

Oh please keep these pictures coming. They are great! I do not have any to add, unfortunately; all photographic evidence of me was deemed unworthy of keeping.

OOPS! I had to go and open my big mouth. OK, I'm not on a bike, but this is me with the five bikes I donated to our church bicycle ministry. The four kids bikes were all picked up by needy kids. No one picked up the 1969 Raleigh Record I'm holding, but those X-Mart mountain bikes others donated sure went fast! Go figure!

I recently found an old home movie labeled "Jr's new bike, Oct 1931" or some such thing. I don't know what to do with it, but it clearly shows a very little boy on a very large (and very vintage) bicycle. Suggestions?

Take it to someone who can transfer it for you. Or if you are computer savvy, have a projector, a video camera, the inclination, and the time, transfer it yourself.
