TXBF: You and your ride
I've noticed probably 12 or so riders on the street this past week, and have no idea if they'd be on here. I might of talked to someone on here in person, and had no clue. Not everyone wears their TXBF jersey every day.

I'm in fort worth. I ride either the trinity trail or lake ridge parkway at Joe Pool lake. I ride with the Texas wheels - the fastest paceline in dfw - or with the Lone Star Randonneurs.

My commuting, touring, randonneuring bike is the red P-38 in the background here:

Most of the time I am on the magnificent Rocinante. She's an '83 Austro-Daimler mixte. I've put Rosie through the ringer and she always comes back for more.
Dapple is my shopper. With large baskets, front and back and a trailer hitch, I can haul 120+ pounds on this puppy. (Sorry. I don't have a picture of the full bike; it's an '86 Raleigh)
Special Ed is my Hardrock. Mainly for my geocaching exploits.
I built Freeride from the ground up, using only parts that I found in bike shop dumpsters and curbside trash. It's an '84 Miyata road frame, but I widened the forks to accommodate beach cruiser tires. This one is for Sunday rides around the neighborhood with my kids.
(edit) - Here's an older pic of me with my wife & kids. I don't have any of me on my bike.
And a newer image of me that I'm sure I will regret posting here...

Good idea... I still have a rotten time remembering names/faces until I see folks in person, though...
The Trek 1200 I usually ride (other bike is a charcoal Novara mountain bike, usually rolling on slicks)
More recent photo that looks more like I look... Trek 1200 (above) has pulled 40 pounds off the first photo...

the 40lbs off looks good tailchaser. I dropped 25 when I started riding, but have gained most of that back this year.

I race every chance I get. I also workout at the 'Drome 1-2 times per week. What's the teacher's name? I'd probably know him if I see him...I'm bad with names.

The whole past year I bet he had no idea I probably liked bikes almost much as he did in class, heh.

I just finished putting the fenders on my new ride, so it will probably never rain again 
Here it is along with the old ones.
