Look at us!
You know, we post pictures of our bikes, but what about ourselves? This thread is devoted to BF users with their loved ones [their bikes!].
I'll start off. This is me, looking a little porkie with that winter fat, on Easter morning this year. I'm up on Mount Royal -- you can see the city of Montreal in the background -- with my cyclocross bike having a thoroughly wonderful time.
In case you're wondering, yes, I do indeed have shortish legs. I prefer to think of it as a "viking build."

velocipedio! That's you!?! No way! It's so weird how we picture someone one way, and then you see an actual picture, and they're totally different...sort of like reading a book and then seeing the movie, you know?
I wish I had an up-to-date picture to post here, but I don't have a scanner or anything, and the only ones I have on the computer from the internet are from a long time ago, or aren't good at all (as in can hardly make out it's a bike rider!).
I'm interested in seeing the rest of you, though!

But what were you expecting, one of those tall. thin, wiry, time-trial types? Hell no, I'm a sprinter [you can't really see my massive bunny-leg thighs in this picture]. Was it the winter fat? I actually look a little paunchier there than I am because I'm wearing a vest and two jerseys.
Maybe it was the professorial beard... I should have a poll about that. I'd look about 15 years younger without it. But I am a professor, so there you have it.
To tell the truth, I'm more in my element on the road bike and in shorts, anyway. When I get a picture like that, I'll post it.

Actually my hair is a kind of medium-brown. The angle of the light and the fact that I have some more grey than I'd really like [you try teaching 19-year-olds how to write and see what happens to your hair!] makes my whiskers look considerably blonder than they really are... This is from last fall, wearing my old glasses [mostly, I wear contacts], to give you an idea of my colouring.

This is me shortly after my buzz cut, my hair is currently longer and I'm about 10 lbs lighter (thanks to cycling more!)

Sorry about the low-resolution webcam shot. I will scan in a better one later.

This is me on a recent MTB excursion, about a week ago. It was about 50 f but there was still snow on the mountain. It's for sure gone by now, the temp has shot up to about 75 since then.
Actually, I don't think I photograph terribly well, face wise anyways, but who can tell. Sorry about the blob obscuring the photo. But dig the cool vintage wool jersey!
