OK, since a few of you've asked about the accent, or might eventually . . nope, I ain't British, Irish, Aussie, etc. Here's the story behind it.
I lived the first five years of my life in India, when my pops worked for the US embassy there, and many Indians speak with a semi British kinda accent. Actually I was born at the British embassy's hospital, so maybe that's where it comes from, heh. Another part of it, I think, is the fact that I used to stutter as a kid (still do, every now and then) and I guess the accent is sort of a product of trying to speak clearly n’ stuff.
So anyway, yep, red-blooded Amer’can thru and thru :) . . . Dad grew up in NYC and Mom in Virginia/Florida.
Fun facts about my family:
* I got an uncle, grandpa, and great-grandpa who all had/have the name Jesse Jackson.
* A cousin of mine used to work on the animation team for Beavis and Butthead

Name: Ken
Been on somewhere around 8 or 9 rides between the Tues/Thurs/Sunday rides. I usually ride either a dirty white miyata steel road frame covered with stickers w/red aluminum fork. Or an early sixties schwinn american cruiser with shiny chrome.

I found stumbled upon this site when someone was so kind as to post one of my craigslist adds in the "fucktardary" section.
My name is Dirk, I have yet to ride with any of you. I work a a ceramics engineer and was unaware of any such community. I have a lot of bikes, and I ride quite often. Though, right now, I'm trying to clear out my apartment in an attempt to move and doing more cleaning and storage with the bikes than riding.

Bryan!
I usually ride my old fixed schwinn. Pictures out of date, but I guess you wouldn't really notice the different hub and shiz anyhow.
I've slowly been learning that I've grown a lot since I was a kid and need much bigger bikes, so I've got a GT MTB and another import schwinn 10spd that I don't ride because they're so small.
P.S. I shred my credit card offers daily, and generally board alpental when there is snow on the ground and haven't recently demolished my pelvis in a motorcycle accident.

I'm Dylan.
i've been to about.. 2 or 3 of the tuesday rides, i could never make it to any of the other ones(or mass) because it conflicted with my work schedule.
i usually ride my trusty old 50's french 10 speed, the "louison bobet"
i had some nicer pictures on my cameras flash card, that photo is ancient. numerous upgrades have been performed since then... but the camera was liberated from my backpack in a park. o well. i have other bikes, including an old jamis ATB, and a schwinn circuit fixed conversion.. but yea, no pictures of those on my phone.
i'll be at more of the rides now however, since i only work mornings from now on.

I keep forgetting to post in this thread?
For the record, I am Nick:
I've gone on a number of mostly thursday rides since like about April (?) but I'm not very talkative and I have a bad habit of leaving early when women call me.
I ride a banged up, cheap-ass entry-level Cannondale with plain-ol' flats which drops the chain if I try to change chainrings (which makes keeping up with our sprints fun). I keep meaning to fix both of those things, but I'm never fucking home these days because I'm either out riding this or my other bike, a vintage honda cafe racer which I love to show off, even to those of you opposed to gas-powered transportation:
But I kinda like the cannondale more, because I can go out drinking with you lot on it.

Name's Aaron. Been on one Tuesday ride due to lots of potential excuses. Looking forward to meeting more of you on future rides. Only been riding a little over a year, and most of that riding has been commuting. First bike was a shitty aluminum Specialized that I bought out of haste. New ride is a LHT (the bike that was recommended to me initially) and I freaking love it.
The only thing I can shred is lettuce.

Howdy m'dears! It's been a scary long time since I've been on a ride (but that will hopefully change ASAP). I'm Wendy. I ride a Bianchi Volpe, and recently got a sweet Redline 925 for my b-day. I'm a computer engineer for Swedish Medical Center. I build things. Sometimes I break things. Sometimes I fix what other people broke. But mostly I make sure that other people know that stuff is broken.
Here's me and my cat cuddling with my Bianchi looking jealously on:
Here's a pic of critical mass from last year, taken on a camera phone, while I was riding:
And this is me, somewhere, doing something:

Hi. I am Justin. When I grow up, I wanna be a mathematician.
I've been riding .83 for about a month, Slow Sunday for about 2 months. Here I am at a Slow Sunday, in search of Tacos:
I ride an ugly red fixie, and/or a couple of squid bikes. Here is the pile:
This is my favorite drink:
My other favorite beverages are beer, coffee and grapefruit juice. My favorite hangover cure is excedrin, gatorade and pho. Sometimes my lips move when I read.

First person to ride with .83 AND THEN register and use the username "Travis" can have it. I have a hard enough time remembering who Lee is on the forum, help us out a bit and just use the name your family gave you.
