Mine is taken from a photo of my Grandfather after he won a 100 mile road race in the 1920s. He was a very talented pro cyclist in his day and his winnings helped his family through the Depression. He was invited to race in Europe with Hubert Opperman in races like the early TDF, but he declined as he had a young family and couldn't bear the thought of leaving them alone while he was away. I remember him as a humble, honest and very gentle man, my avatar is my tribute to him.

I was helping my wife with her helmet because she put it on the wrong way round at first, and I was trying to switch it around before the other riders saw her embarrassing moment. Haha!

T.A. members arrested for blocking the Queensboro Bridge bike-pedestrian path to cars. The New York County Court judge who acquitted the “QB6” in 1991 ruled that “The death and illness of New Yorkers from air pollution and vehicles are far greater harms than that created by disorderly conduct.”

I was wondering whatever became of it. Could you create another one or at least fix the old one? Your posts look so empty without something to describe you visually instantly as the one and only LittlePixel!

Now the spotlight focuses on me. My own avatar was developed originally as a class assignment for a Illustrator instruction exercise. I liked it so much I still use it on all my official presences on the Internet. This includes my personal Website series, online correspondences, and a copyrighted protection watermark at times. It is even on my personal computer as a graphic representation of myself every time I log on and boot up Windows!

I'm pretty sure mine is just a llama. Tilted. A tilted llama. I don't think anything quite explains it - but isn't he cute? And majestic?
