21/5/2011 Windermere Ferry in the Lake District.

When I was a wee nipper the wash from that ferry upturned the dinghy I was in and nearly drowned me. My mother still has nightmares about it. Nice take on a bridge.

Great photos, keep 'em coming.

Ok, at last, three efforts from me.

In the first, a stealth tricycle, on a rather fine little cyclepath bridge:



Secondly, Aldwark Bridge, toll for motor vehicles, 40p, cycles free. We went across and back, for effect, as a diversion.



And finally, you can only tell it's a bridge by the sign...

A bridge too far?

Again my ride passed over a dozen or more nice old bridges but given my bike problems I decided not to stop at most of them, I did stop at this one though:

Talk about Art with Suffering: I didn't prop the bike up properly. It fell over. The dog had to make a hasty sidestep to avoid being squashed. Then the train started up. Oh my! Hence the wonkiness of the second photo. If you've ever tried to take a photograph with a wimpy, cowardly Labrador sitting in your lap, you'll appreciate my efforts

LOL when I snapped a pic last week, I propped my bike up against the bridge parapet at it promptly fell over too, there was 30-60mph gusts what processed me to prop it up next to an open bridge parapet

Lots of entries this time round with great views of bikes and bridges. Congratulations to everyone who sent in a photo but the stand-out winner for me was Summerdays.

Thank you for selecting mine especially as there was such a number of good entries for this one... my bridge is a new one that opened on the Concorde way earlier this year. I'll have to have a quick think about what the next challenge will be.

Thank you for selecting mine....

How much did you bung old Sepp Blatter then, just for future reference like?

Oh yeah, well done by the way!

Well done, Summerdays

OK ... well as normal for me ... a loose description - "Participation in Cycling". I've got the Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride coming up - so that was what made me think of the title... so a photograph showing people not necessarily yourself taking part in a cycling event be that cycling to work, family trip, your solo exploration (might be hard to photograph that one), or an organised event - it could even be a cycling show. As the BBBR is on the 12th (in case any of you are going) ... shall we say a closing date of 15th June? (Unless you know of an event that you want to make it the following weekend).

I'm off to Bristols Biggest (Wettest) Bike Ride in an hour or two ... so I'm going to take some photos ... but mine won't count. Someone must have seen and photographed some people cycling ...
