This was taken at a Chicago meet-up of C and Vers . Speaking of which, I think that it's time to schedule another ride. First weekend in August?

At the Conservatory of Flowers, Golden Gate Park.

Aug 14/15 would work better for me.

Me with a DX3000 rental bike in Athens, GA, somewhere near UGA. A fun day:D,,,,BD

I can do the 15th (but not 14th). Name the time and location.

1) With Mrs. E. and Capo #1 at the annual Wavecrest Woodies meet.
2) Do-it-yourself BiketoWork day about 4 years ago, after getting Capo #1 repainted.

Me and the #1 bike:

Me and a bike...

Here's the bike to work day picture to go with my earlier post.

He does look the part, with that cap. My wife always refers to me as Bicycle Repair Man when anything around the house needs fixing -- I sometimes return home from work or cycling to hear "We have a job for Bicycle Repair Man -- the _____ is not working."

I was at an event a few weeks ago and over the intercom I hear, "THIS man is no ordinary man... "

Seems that someone was having a bike issue and I was being paged.

:lol:

nice looking Celeste Fuji

Meet at 8:30, ride at 9:00. Sunday is typically my spin day, but I can hammer if necessary

Chicago. For an exact location, I require good food at the end of the ride. I will defer to your expertise. :p :thumb:

Also, there is a better than average chance I will have a "new" bike for the ride. :innocent:

Can you even reach the pedals when sitting on that bad boy?

Bigbossman - the only one who looks exactly as I pictured him!

I'm really liking the variety of pics, what with penny farthings, motorcycles, mountain bikes, pitchers of beer - fish! - and the group pics are great as well, as are all the locations (Gomango - Pisa? How cool!).

Thanks to all who've posted pics so far - it's nice to have faces with names. Who knows? Maybe people will meet up on the road and say:

"Hey, aren't you ______ from Bike Forums? Where're you headed?...."
.

This is me in the Marin Headlands this past January (2 days before my 21'st birthday). No pictures of me with any C&V bikes yet.

Like so many here, I'm usually behind the camera taking the pics. I don't have much of me with my bikes. Hmmm, must correct that matter one day.

First two are from '87 in all my 80's glory. LOL! :twitchy:
That was my 1st real bike that I built in H.S. 7 years earlier. It had gone through one upgrade; ie. Campy wheels, new crankset, Cinelli bars. I still have the bike today.
Third pic is from '91 of my VFR750F. Motorcycles took me away from bicycles for a while. Seems a lot of us here are also avid motorcyclists.
Fourth pic was taken in Montreal Canada on their Thanksgiving weekend, 2007.
I took my stepson on a ride around the F1 circuit which is open to the public. Then over to Old Montreal. Pretty impressive ride for a 12 y.o. on a Supercycle gas pipe MTB. I was riding an old Bianchi Nyala that I pieced together.
Lastly, this is the most recent 'bike related' pic taken this Spring. After my stepson successfully stripped and repainted his MTB. He appears to have our affliction for bikes. :D

That's great that you got to do laps of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - Gilles was my one and only 'hero' in life, the best racing driver I ever saw. He won the inaugural Montreal race in 1978 on that very track and was killed in 1982 (two months before I graduated high school). I'd like to go there someday.

Here I am with my wife, back in May of this year:

I only have one of me on my significantly-shorter friend's bike (and normally I wear a helmet):

Here's one of me from about six years ago, finishing Boston's Hub on Wheels ride. I'm on my '49 Raleigh Clubman:

And, more recently, last summer while riding in New York State, after taking the ferry across from VT. I'm on my unknown-maker French bike. After the beard got too grey, it got shaved:

Me. My bike's in the back in the cave. I love my new netbook. It's so tiny.

khatfull, you owe us a bigger picture of yourself.

I'm really enjoying this thread. nlerner is exactly as I picture him. Sixty Fiver looks even more humble than I pictured him, and I don't even know what I mean by that, but I mean it in the very nicest way.

I don't know where any recent pictures of me with a bike are, though I know there are many. Here's a very old one. My riding partner shot this while on his bike. Not bad. The fuzziness is because I scanned this old, abused print, not his fault. I think the year is about 1982, and I was 21 years old.

Note the Huret Multito odometer on my front hub.

My butt has grown since this picture, much of my hair has fallen out, and my nose has surely gotten larger.

As with others, I'm usually the dude behind the camera, but I'll have to go take a tripod to a nice spot and take a pic, perhaps later today...

Otherwise, me relaxing on a beach in Febuary last year:

And showing that my head rash from when I trashed my Surly healed without scars:

Gack! Y'er a youngster. I hit 34 in '82. I'll post a pic as soon as I get my Better Half to take one of me standing in front of the requisite white garage door.
