Well, I'm finally going to break down and post a pick of me. I know many of you will recognize me immediately, but please hold your enthusiasm.

Ok - here's my family shot from this past spring. I almost have my wife convinced to let me find a vintage tandem for my oldest daughter and myself - she's the one who's most enthusiastic about riding.

I guess its time for me to play.
Mrs retrofit and our son from last summer during one of the Twilight Rides at Laguna Seca Raceway:
Our silly boy and I in Sacramento during this year's Tour of California:
On my way out for a ride this afternoon:
Our son wearing his newest cycling treasure: a Cervelo Test Team jersey literally off of Heinrich Haussler's back from the ToC (if you follow pro cycling you know who he is).
One more...fuel for the furnace, my wife's Apple Streusel pie

My little C&Vr's after an afternoon of riding their English three speeds.
Danusia (Dani) rides a 1973 Raleigh Fireball that dad and his mates restored...
Alexandra (Alex) loves her 1980 Raleigh Saffron which just got new hand built wheels, new Marathons, and new longer seat post... her legs are almost as long as mine now.

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of me on a bike. I don't ride recreationally that often...it's usually just to get around town, hence no camera.
Here's one of my family. From right: Me, my father, my mother, my brother, my brother's fiancee, and my girlfriend. Taken in Mykonos, Greece.
And here's one of my prettiest bike, although the wheels have moved onto someone who will use them more than I would:

Don't exactly have pics of me on any of my bikes, as others, so here goes
This was very shortly after hiking from Tioga Lake to our campsite in Tuolome Valley (sp?) in Yosemite NP,
This is from Humbolt SP, showing the kids and nieces and nephews how I wanted to see them do a belly flop into the Eel river if they expected to eat dinner on another camping trip,
By the way, they all did it after I instructed them how to do a proper belly flop.
Aftermath a couple weeks later from a bike mishap that led off with the infamous line, "Hey Boys, watch this..."
3 pins in my left hand after a shattered 5th metacarpal.
oh yea the bike,
Blasphemy in the C&V forum
, sorry, I have all kinds of bikes around but I had to break down a few months ago and see what all the CF hoopla was about, and dammit, it is a damn nice ride.

FYI, "Senior Member" is what the forum software sticks on everyone after so many posts, unless they create a custom user title.

That he does. He was fortunate to receive the Saxo jersey from a friend who was in Denmark on business, and as mentioned the Cervelo jersey was given to him by the Cervelo SAG staff along with a cycling cap. He was in 7th heaven for the rest of the week after that! 
Thanks Jake. While some kids take to baseball or basketball, our son has really taken to cycling. He has been following the pro tour since he was 2 1/2 years old, and asked at that time if we could put his tricycle on top of our car so he could ride in the Tour de France. We're just glad he's not a couch potato and enjoys cycling and running as much as he does. We do our best to emphasize the benefits for body and mind, as well as the qualities of determination and perseverance, with the goal being that he apply these characteristics to his education and ultimately the rest of his life.
Here's a pic of him running his first 5K at age four (the now defunct "Run to the Far Side," in San Francisco):
