Pics of You on Your Bicycle in 2015
 

We've had a few of these threads over the past few years, so here it is again for 2015. :)

Now, this particular photo thread can be a bit of a challenge. It is not always easy getting a photo of yourself ON your bicycle, riding your bicycle. Usually someone else has to take it, and then give it to you. But, back in 2012 I was able to take a photo of me riding my bicycle, so that is a possibility too. :)


Let's see YOU riding your bicycle ... or at least on your bicycle. Not just photos of your bicycle, there are other threads for that ... this one is for you on your bicycle. :)

Pics of You on Your Bicycle in 2012


(Other Photo Threads: Some of my Favourite Photo Threads )

My next selfie.

Yeah, OK ... we're not on the road in these photos but about half that ride was on the road.

Anyone else get out for a Jan 1 ride? :D

Sorry, didn't see this thread had already been started for 2015...

That's OK ... good shots. Looks a bit chilly there, but nice that you've got green grass. :)

I did, but wasn't aware I was under obligation to take a selfie.

It was 23°F and windy, but beautifully sunny and clear, pefect for a dirt road run. Rode with an old friend and some new guys, a couple of whom had pretty successful bike racing histories, and aside from a bumpy section which almost made me toss my cookies, it was a surprisingly good ride given I was the only guy hung over, and the only dummy on 23s! I'm second from left.

Here's one from this morning. It was in the high teens (F) when I left my house. Now that I see how dorky I look, I can see why my kids make fun of me.:)

Finally remembered to take a selfie pulling back up to my dorm after a ride. The university team kit this year is hawt.

Sorry you can't see much (any) of my bike in the first one and barely any in the second. I haven't yet developed the manual dexterity or arm length needed for a good bike selfie... :D

@interungulate, OT here, but do you think a little more helmet coverage at the front might be good for the worst case scenario?

The kit does look cool, though! I wish I were svelte enough for Castelli :(

Hey there!

Yeah, I started my ride with it much further forward, but by the end it rid up a little and getting into position for the photos certainly didn't help much. I make sure my helmet coverage is good, don't worry. I've been hit by a car and fallen off a mountain going 35, so helmets are something I cherish deeply :D :)

The Castelli kit's nice, but it somehow manages to be both big and small on me at the same time. Seems the bib straps were made for someone 4 inches shorter, but I'm wearing an M and ride a 44, so... The youth XL jersey from 2012 or so that got handed down to me at the beginning of the year actually fits better, for whatever reason.

Ok, good to hear...referring to the cherishing part, I mean, not the accidents. ;)

on ice next to water? mind you don't slip in and get eaten by an orca.

Where is the promised @coasting selfie?!

coming. just need the courage to take hands off bars.

Haha. Good point. This is why I never take selfies.

15 degrees right now.

Gonna try to get out today but not for long ... :winter2:

Posted 4 images and none of them are of you on your bike

OK, let's see you ON your bicycle ... like the title of the thread suggests.

wtf???

Dating site profile photo, mistakenly uploaded to bikeforums

Riding a bike and taking a selfie aint one of my talents.

Ur gonna haveta take my word that i ride.


Otherwise i go to great trouble to pretend to ... :speedy:

I know, i know, hard to believe someone actually riding a bicycle, never heard of such silly-ness ...

cant see the bike as you said but the bike you have listed is a CAAD 10. Are you on it in the photo? I'm asking becuase of the Specialized bars. Did you find those more comfortble for you and put them on your CAAD?

Also, have you posted your CAAD in the Cult of CAAD thread?

Wow, keen eye. No, this isn't my CAAD, this is a Specialized Dolce Elite I'm renting from my team til next Saturday when I can go back to the bay and pick up the shiny new CAAD they ordered in for me. The order was placed in late December and school started the 5th of January, so I missed it arriving by a couple of days. Will post when I get it.

The Specialized bars are nice, but I'd prefer something a tiny bit narrower, I have small hands. I suspect that problem will get itself sorted when I switch to the CAAD (the Specialized is a 51, CAAD'll be 44).
