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.

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

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...

@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

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
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.

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

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).
