Look just like him.

Let's see a side by side comparison!

My dad always looked like James Cagney, and even got stopped on the street sometimes by people wanting his autograph.

I think DG's new avatar is proclaiming me as being #1!!!!

Red Rider 03-30-07 03:59 PM

My avatar is Schipperke pups about 4 weeks old. The white one's been ours since about 2 weeks after this shot was taken. They remind me of little bears.

My avatar is a picture of me taken on the day that I almost won the Tour De France.

Did he give it to them?

Once or twice, but then he'd fess up. Lots of folks wanted pictures, though.

The most famous logo in the world of sports!

RoMad 03-31-07 04:42 PM

Mine was a picture of my new bike, but it needed something so I changed it to me on my bike

BetweenRides 03-31-07 07:03 PM

Mine is an attempt at a closeup of the scroll work on my Merlin Cyrene. Kind of hard to see at 1" x 1" though... I think I'll change it to a picture of my saddle.

Red Baron 03-31-07 07:57 PM

Mine is explained in the rogues gallery

My avatar shows the inside of a snow drift last Feb. in Cleveland,s storm of the year.

The next avatar will show me,"going towards the white light",after kissing the asphalt on a sharp muddy turn a few weeks back.

Hi,
My avatar is an abbreviated version of my Geobiking website LOGO.
Had to ask my 18 year old how to create an avatar - too simple!

I took a few minutes to make a new avatar... not quite what I had envisioned, but I was tired of my old high school picture.

I am still envisioning something like a Peter Max sunrise behind the bike, but I thought for now the spirograph catches the era too, and it was a built in option with Gimp.

It's pretty cool!

I rather liked your old avatar; I always thought it was some child star from TV from the 50s. Were you a frequent guest on the Donna Reed show?

Little Darwin 04-01-07 07:29 PM

I have never been on TV. Although I have been to two tapings. One was for a local show in Seattle, and must have been in early February because the host recited the Gettysburg Address.

I was also at a taping of the Tony Orlando and Dawn Christmas show in 1975. The Infantry training company sent several of us up as a group. I don't know if I was ever on camera in the audience, because I missed watching the show, but I did get to shake hands with Tony! My brush with fame..

I should do a morph between my HS picture and a current picture. When I first showed the HS picture to a friend, he proclaimed, "There isn't even a family resemblance." :D

I've been using a photo of my Rans Nimbus, taken Thanksgiving day, the day I finished building it from a frame. It is my designated winter bike, so I've just switched back to this avatar, me on my Bacchetta Corsa. It was taken last year, just after I bought it. I've since shortened the riser, and reclined the seat further back. I need to take a new photo.

Thrifty1 04-10-07 02:18 PM

Found a photo of my almost restored 1953 Velocette LE MK-II

Artkansas 04-10-07 02:55 PM

Mine comes from one of my favorite animations, "Kenya". It can be seen at Weebl's Stuff and I highly recommend it.

It's the perfect animation when you need a break while doing an all-nighter at work. Wonderfully perky and energetic in that unique British style.

RockyMtnMerlin 04-10-07 04:46 PM

Mine a silhouette of a Merlin because, you guessed it, I ride a Merlin

Tom Bombadil 04-10-07 05:07 PM

Mine is of my new road bike

maddmaxx 04-10-07 05:14 PM

That looks strangely like a receint post with two ended bicycles.
Has anyone here ever ridden a high wheel? I trued the wheel on one once because no bicycle shop would take the job but I could not convince myself to climb aboard.

Its a good avitar but I fear that I may miss the golden helmet. The thought of seeing that going downhill on a road byke to Wagner....awsome.....

robtown 04-10-07 05:51 PM

My latest is the beach on Maui after riding 38 miles down off the volcano. Unfortunately, I was on a junker bike and our group speed was limited.
