HAHAHA! You haven't changed a bit in 2 years!!!!
Me and my trusty Trek Portland are on the left. Ken, a fellow I rode with one day on the way home is on the right. Bike commuting rocks!
EDIT: This was taken at the confluence of the Platte River Trial and the Bear Creek Trail.

I'm new and I have no photos of me on the bike, which is good, b\c I am clumsy. But here's a little area 51 action

These are about the only two pictures I can think of with me at least near my bike.
The first is from about a month ago after a triathlon. I'm the one on the right. The bike is the same one I commute on most of the year. I throw some lights on it when I'm not racing. I dress to commute the same way I dress to race for the most part, - at least when it's warm.
Triathlon training is year round for me. In the pic below I am getting a little swim + bike in over lunch near the Mississippi. Fortunately the river remains ice free (most of the time anyway) around the falls. Swimming in a pool isn't the same as open water at all.
The bike is my winter commuter and it has fenders and studded tires.
My commute goes right by here but not over the bridge that I'm standing on in the picture.
Somebody was asking about gloves and even though those are kind of torn up, they're fine for me even on the coldest days as long as I keep moving.
I've never actually commuted in a wet suit but I find riding in one isn't as uncomfortable as you might think, - at least when it's cold out.

Here is me sailing, This picture I THINK is last year. It's on my dad's old boat, on the rare occasion that someone ELSE is sailing it besides me. It's pretty normal for me to do all the work.
This is me a few years ago:
And here is one last winter. I am squinting, so Funny expression:

The one on top is me hiking in Sleeping Giant state park in Hamden CT with my GF's dog, Booger (yes, Booger is the dog's name).
This is me as a boating instructor at my old summer camp last year.

Here I am with my wife and daughter and the daughters boyfriend a few weeks ago on a fun ride, although I use this bike to commute too.

BrianT- the M82A1 is your work?!? That's some serious work. Stay safe man. You don't need me to tell you, but you've got one hell of a piece of equipment there.

Thanks.The mixte frame is an old Univega I got from a fellow forumite Bigbossman. I had the frame powdercoated in Granny Smith green with a gold topcoat. Then built up the frame. There are some custom decals you can't see in the picture but I'm really (and so is she ) happy with the results. My bike is a 77 Schwinn Volare that has been stripped of the paint. Not nearly as flashy but its my favorite bike. I also built it up from the frame with period correct as close as I could get dura ace pieces. The RD is a Shimano Crane model which became Dura ace in 78

Comming home from my parents a couple of weekends ago.
