Who exactly are Bike Forums members? Post pics of you and your bike!
Am I the only one?
When I read postings - especially ones by the regular contributors - I always get an image in my mind what they look like. Sorta like when I read a book: I mentally picture the characters, you know?
Characters...now that describes quite a lot of us here on the Forums!
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.

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

Below are my bikes (in possession but some soon not to be):
Hmmm...no pics of me with the bikes?!

Gomango has a bum knee, although I rode for 10 minutes yesterday and today on the stationary! Yippeee.
Out for a ride in the Bavarian Alps.
Bundled for a cold early winter ride. Snowed 7 inches later that day.
On our 20th wedding anniversary in Tuscany.

OK you didn't say what year. I wore what I had. November 1970, I think:
I asked my wife to take a picture of my bike and me a couple of weeks ago....she just laughed and said why?!

I especially like the 'skills display' pics (particulary because I can't do them!).
Thanks and keep 'em coming! Great submissions so far...

Here is a picture from a BF ride last year. I am on the end in the "Maroon Saloon" T-shirt with the goofy smile:

very cool pic Blaise_f. Have you read the book the lost cyclist? It reminds me of your sf to alaska tour via an ordinary. All about some famous world travellers in the 1890s. I gotta get my wife to snap some photos of me on our next ride together.

I'm usually the camera man and I can't seem to find a pic of me with a bicycle. So, here is one of me with my motorcycle (since sold). Taken a couple years back by my sister on a cold April morning.

I don't have any photos of myself with any of my vintage bikes, it looks like. Here I am in Estrella, Spain a couple of months ago with Timmy Duggan, pro cyclist on the Garmin team. He'd just finished the Gran Premio Miguel Indurain. I was the lone American fan there among loads of orange clad Euskatel Basque fans.
I shouldn't need to explain this one. :-)
