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...

Hi, I'm Walt. I don't have any decent bike pictures of myself, so here's one from a rainy finish to a day of sailing:

During the week, I often ride from the near north 'burbs to the loop and back for work. You can catch me geared up like a total bike dork, usually with a high-viz reflective vest, helmet, lights, bell, fenders, rack, etc. Hey, but I enjoy the ride. My all-weather bike is a beater Schwinn converted to single speed. When the weather cooperates, I ride a Milwaukee Orange One FG.

On weekends, I'll range as far north as Mettawa. Slightly less dorky, as my weekend bike doesn't have a rack or bell. Yet.

Since 35 new people have joined here in 2 days, thought this could use a bump!

Hey there,

I'm Chris.

I ride this:

and also a khs flite 500 that has carried me faithfully for many a long haul ride.

I'm an historian (ancient/medieval), vegan, coffee junkie (I roast my own) and I bake and cook too often and too much for my own good, especially cupcakes. Right now I'm busy starting up a not for profit, perfecting my trackstands and preparing to finish up a dissertation. You should say hi. I have a pompadour most of the time.

this is me, surrounded by adoring students after I gave a lecture at pompeii, note my expression of distaste:

I'm organizing an april ride up to milwaukee. Check the thread out!
