Mine comes from when I did the Chicagoland Tour de Cure last year.

The 1960's sci-fi series The Outer Limits, "The Sixth Finger" starring David McCallum.

I have wondered who that was. About a month ago I perused U-Tube for that series, as well as those of a similar ilk, Science Fiction Theater and One Step Beyond. Many episodes of each are available for viewing. :D

I was 6yrs old when the series first aired. My parents and us two kids would sit on the couch and watch it every week. Some of those really freaked me out. :)

My avatar is a pretty realistic facsimile of what I actually look like.

Mine is from the picture file pre-loaded on my laptop when I bought it. The koala, though not an actual bear, resembles the dancing bear logo of my favorite band, which is copyrighted so I couldn't use the actual logo. I settled for a cheap Australian knockoff instead.

The Crimson Eye from "The Dark Tower" novels by Stephen King.

Coke made a drink called Blak which happens to be my last name so it seemed fitting. The drink itself was horrible, hence it not being sold anymore. My screen name is just a play on words that I find really funny.

Fukutomi Juichi, a character from Yowamushi Pedal anime series that has a similar personality as me. Nick name stone face for his lack of expression. A man of very few words except, "I AM STRONG!" Although I am not strong I like to pretend I am.

Why not Zoidberg?

Eeyore has kind of become my totem. Always the cheerful optimist, you know.

IDK where I got mine. I found it on the internet somewhere, some artist.
I have been there, done that a couple of times :)

I remember that episode. I didn't realize your avatar was from that.

My favorite episode was where scientists, in order to frighten the human race so they would come together, mutated a human into an alien form, and sent him up in a rocket and crashed landed it on earth.

Photo of an actual Sugino Cycloid inner ring I bought long ago and never used. I did use a 42(?) tooth version for a while when I was running a 1X setup on a Cannondale hybrid in the 90's.

I just changed mine because I found a humorous pic online and thought it'd be good to use, however, it's kind of hard to see in the tiny avatar. So I'll post the full sized pic here:

This picture is the story of my life.

My avatar is a photo of a couple of cyclists that I found in a museum collection a few years back. No date by c. 1900.

Accidental shadow selfie while hamfistedly messing with my camera, on a trail while backpacking in Wyoming.

Logo of my favorite football team. Who doesn't like a star?

Who copyrighted it? Owsley?

Dang. Ok, I didn't check to see if it was copyrighted, I just figured it would have been copyrighted. Now that I think about it, I could just take a pic of my hat and use that.

Beautiful. And that's all I have to say about that.

Mine's a Sturmey-Archer AW hub that I cleaned up and overhauled last year.
