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...

Nah I just realized that this system takes your "Full Name" and makes it your username. You can call me Rich or Richard if you like :)

Welcome Michael! Sorry that our present to you was your bike getting swiped. Have you replaced her?

My name is Ariel and my friend Scott introduced me to The Chainlink and got me back into biking after a 18 year hiatus.


This is me:



Back in the early 90's when there were no bike lanes, I saw a biker get hit by a bus on Diversey at Clark & Broadway. I promptly returned home and put the bike in the basement for the next many, many years.

With bike lanes abound, I decided to get a bike and start biking again.


I heart my pink cruiser. It is NOT made for long distances. My bootay often hurts after a ride, but it's worth it.

I own a theatrical production company, Kit & Kaboodle Theatricals. We provide everything but the cast or just one designer... it's up to the client.


Personally, I'm a stage manager and props desiger/builder.

I've just started biking and I'm loving it. Except the seat... ouch. I've learned alot about minor repairs as my bike was put together by someone else and then sat for years.


I ride a NEXT Breakpoint 21 speed, dual suspension is nice on all of the ultrasmooth Chicago streets! I didn't decide to buy this ... it was given to me years ago.

I need to add some major cargo capacity. A front and rear basket and panniers... I'd love a trailer!

I live in Andersonville/Edgewater.... right where the lakefront trail ends.

Stop by here or on the trail to say hi sometime.

Hello all,
My name is Jonathan. I am trying to get back to biking after years away from it. I am using my bike to try and quit smoking after 25 years. I was a messenger long ago but now my lungs are so shot I struggle to ride more than a mile or two. I am getting there and cant wait to be an active person again.
My bike is named Mr. Bean.
