You?

I'd be interested to see what everyone looks like. In case I see you in a dark alley on a nice bike...

Anyone have any pics of themselves, preferably on your bikes? Always nice to see faces to names.

I'll post one up in a few.

Ah geez......I feel like such a dork. My buddy snapped this pic last fall. We were trying to take funny pics of each other to post on our "bike gang" myspace page. The "gang sign" is a P for Puyallup. Or it could be the ol' under the hip now I get to sock you in the arm trick. Whatevers clever. Man I am such a dork!
I could have at least rolled down my pant leg!

Bikes: 07 Raleigh Mojave 2.0, Schwinn Le Tour

Don't have one of me on my bike but one from nursing school which I commuted to and from each day by bike. My class mates thought I was crazy as I rode and still do year round. Will get one of me with my 74 Schwinn Le Tour as soon as I can.

well ok, this is all I can find right now. Maybe I'll get a new one with a bike you guys might appreciate more this weekend. This is my long tour bike, last month. At least the jersey is vintage!

This is the only photo of me that doesn't include my two-year old godson.

It was taken in December of 2002 in Nis, Serbia, where I was taking part in a student exchange between American and Balkan law schools. Notice the faithful adherence to principles of intellectual property we stopped to admire...

Well, since you asked...and since this is C&V...

Vintage period circa 1978 in my classic riding attire of cut-off shorts, T-shirt, and Addidas:



Intermediate period circa 1988, somewhere in Turkey if I recall:



A while back circa 1995-ish with my wife in New Orleans:



And today, 2008:

No idea what I was pointing at

This pic is from Boston's 2006 Hub on Wheels ride. I'm on my 1949 Raleigh Clubman, and, yes, it was rainy Sept. day.

Whoa dude.........I'm gonna need details on that Monza. I spy fenderwell exit headers and some serious meat out back! What did that beast have under the hood? Lovin' that custom striping! Would have been a pretty early custom for a Monza in '78. It is a Monza right?

Ah yes, genuine vintage 1975 Chevy Monza 2+2 in Chevy bright metallic blue with custom orange striping, front and rear spoilers, side pipes and Centerline rims and (unfortunately not seen in the picture) L88 Corvette coffin style hood scope.. Basically stock 1970 350 small block Chevy swapped in in place of the original 262, backed by a TH350 and original 10-bolt rear with 3.73 gear. It was sweet little ride. I didn't keep it long. Traded it in for a 1980 Z28 in late '79.

I think it's great that we collectively cover a pretty wide range of ages, occupations, etc.

I hate to possibly derail a thread, but can someone give me a hand figuring out how to reduce the size of a file so that I can post a pic here? Perhaps you will be rewarded by a lovely picture of me.

hmm, did this work? If it did, then it is me sitting forlornly in an 18th Century prison. And looking the part.
