That's some serious, pensive look @malcala622, our daughter tell us that the Atlanta Critical mass rides are her favorites. Hope the crowd was enormous and the time was great.

I hate looking straight at the camera so that's the face I naturally make.

They're only once a month but it feels like they happen every other weekend. Its a great ride.

Very edgy, something like the prelude to a news story about a riot or some other kind of civil disturbance. Very cool shot. Unintentional photojournalism?

I can identify with not caring to look into the lens, always has bothered me. Sounds great for a ride though.

Can't post pics yet due to new account, but:
37 yo tech-ish industry. Probably most relevant? Seriously rode mountain bikes for years on Vancouver's North Shore, did crazy stupid things, and hurt myself occasionally. Owned too many bikes worth too much money.

These days, road in the Bay Area. Down to a fast bike (2004ish Merlin Works CR), and a commuter bike (repainted, rebuilt Schwinn Reynolds 853). But still particular about what I choose. Will post photos when I can.

Anyhow, let's see you guys and gals post some pics of you with your bike(s)! Working on them, riding on them - or just standing there looking proud/happy/confused/goofy/whatever!

A little story behind the pics is always welcomed.

Marymoor Park Velodrome in Redmond, Washington - 2007 (2002 Davidson Custom)

*** had to remove url to post as I have less than 10 posts ***

Green River Trail, Washington - 2008 (1983 Colnago Mexico)


Thanks!
Looking forward to posting my pic, Im a newby and need 10 post to post a url ...

As a noob, I can't post pics yet, but here's the rundown of my N and N+1

My 1998 XXL Giant Rincon rebuilt with Shimano Deore XT 3x10 group and brakes. Affectionately known as the"Jolly Green Giant Giant."

My vintage Itoh 64cm, stripped, repainted, hybridized, and geared high (1x7, 60T x 14-34T). Affectionately known as the"Legbuster."

Welcome aboard @Xiphazz, nice bike. Looks like the furry assistant is doing your pre-ride check.

Like @qcpmsame said, welcome aboard, @Xiphazz.

That's a nice looking and interesting bike. I'm curious, what BB does it have?

And I'm noticing the amp and the guitar.

Okay. However Swiss and French BBs were the same except that the drive-side threads were right-handed on French, left-handed on Swiss. If your LBS guy didn't removed the drive-side cup he wouldn't know the difference. In fact, if you don't know which it is you don't know whether turning it right or left will loosen it or tighten it. OTOH, if the drive-side cup doesn't need replacing it doesn't matter.
