Introduce Yourself: Names, Face, Bikes, Interests

We have a few threads here and there with introductions, but nothing organized. For this thread, post your picture, pics of your bikes, and a small blurb about yourself (favorite foods, commuting routes, etc).

yes, this was ripped off from chifg...

H3N3 that is a great idea. I might just pull out the router. I still like the guy who used bear spray for protection. Now that is brilliant.

Cool! I'd want to join two of those holes into a long slot so you can quickly morph into a U-lock ninja when necessary.

This is me and my baby.

My old ride, now RIP thanks to someones car door mashing the frame and my arm, and thankfully nothing else.

This is my street/work bike.
Bars are now flipped up to a normal north road position. Head on collision with a car last far bent the fork a bit, some ill advised bunny hopping bent the fork the rest of the way a couple days ago, trying to find a cheapo replacement, but in the meantime, she's out of commission.

And this is my polo bike, the nicest bike I own, and of course I beat the hell out of it at least twice a week. Waterford makes a hell of a bike, wish I could get another. :(

And this is my lady.

And the ride I got together for her.

I did not want to do this alone so I used a picture of me and my wife. Anyway, I really enjoy riding in the city and it is great to see so many others who feel the same.

Here are the rides!

Good Weather.....

Trail......

Commuter / Winter

So there you have it. I ride in CCM and will one day get up the nerve to come to a Chainlink event.

Peace.

Hi, I'm Ruth, I live in Lincoln Park and unfortunately right now am still riding a hybrid with road tires... but I'm hoping to find a good not-too-expensive road bike. I also run (slowly) along the lakefront and would love to find others who run 10:30/miles to run with me :-)
