Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[accountantpete]

Many thanks for the vote and words:

The challenge for September is "potholes" with a bonus wheel-rim truing manual for the biggest.

A second photo showing just the pothole is also permitted.

(please take care when attempting the capture).

There should be plenty of subject matter!!

Just what you need on a night ride! Fortunately, it's on my regular route from work 🤞

Another wheel trap... The Avenue, Near Moulton

Another day, another bike, another dodgy road surface..

Taken before reading the challenge but seems to fit the bill...

It's an old photo, but, I give you the pothole that caused me to crash...

Not a lot to see here...

Nasty little surprise that.

 

[PeteXXX]

My nearest decent sized pothole... 👍🏼

I've just found this thread and am thoroughly enjoying it! Mind if I post a couple of past challenge photos to cut my teeth?

 

[yo vanilla]

Unfortunately... or, fortunately... this the worst pothole I noticed on my ride today

Squint, it is there I swear

Here's a couple of late entries:

Cross

By water, also there are flowers in there somewhere

At a busy highway

Something to do with a historical marker?

(keep in mind early American history is more like yesterday on a European scale )

You call them pubs, but we call them bars

@yo vanilla The rules, such as they are, are that the pic must be taken within the timeframe of the competition, and contain a bike (or part thereof) to be a valid entry.
Chitchat and waffle between pics is fine, though!

Hence, this enrty of my Trek Fuel EX9 is not allowed, even though its a very big hole in the road..

 

[yo vanilla]

Pardon me for breaking the rules I can stick to them!

Last day of September so final few hours for entries.

This month's winner is <drum roll>

I liked the atmosphere of looming menace when coming across this pothole at night so congrats PeteXXX and over to you for the October 2020 challenge.
