I borrowed a beard so I could play!

Beardy man (mine!) on his bike... on a bridge. It was probably the last ride we'll get in this year-he doesn't do cold well despite the fluffy beard- so it was a long one. And he was a bit tired around the almost home mark.

I don't have a beard, but I have a dog, and he has a beard, so here we go:
Admittedly he doesn't have a bike. I'd get him one, but I don't think he'd ride it. Must be a beard thing.

Me on the right as I was shrinking it down in the spring. Full beard for the winter. Clean shaven in the summer. On the Trek 560, riding in North Birmingham AL.

Selfie taken on August 30. My helmet is too far back on my head.

I go in cycles. Beard for 9 months to a couple years then I shave it after too many complaints about scratchiness. Go clean shaven for ~3 months until I get tired of shaving every day, then the beard comes back. Wash, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.

[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] Tell them the secret to that mustache! It's actually illegal in 3 countries and considered a religious relic in 4. And at least you have a helmet. I will be trying to re-introduce a helmet to my head when i get back on the bike in the spring after not wearing one for ages. Should be interesting....

Two secrets to the mustache: 1. judicious trimming, and 2. Clubman wax. Now what's this you're saying about illegal and religious?
