Last chance this weekend, winner to be announced Monday morning.

I've not been on the bike much, bad back :-(

Keep 'em coming!

Well, thank you for all the entries.

I think that was probably much more difficult to find something for than most, apologies if so. I've been suffering from a bad back and haven't been out much in the last few weeks so didn't manage a single entry myself...

But some great pics, split generally into "Lonely bike" or "Lonely person/object seen from a bike". Very difficult on the latter to get the sense of being alone rather than accompanied by a bike, I think.

On the lonely bike front, I particularly enjoyed the black and white from @yo vanilla

Lots of inventive entries on lonely objects, strawberries, mushrooms, hats, but the abandoned machinery (winch?) from @Oldhippy was rather eyecatching (I had to crop it to get it to display for some odd reason, apologies):

But my two favourites were, on the lonely bike front, what I imagine to be an insomniac Specialized contemplating the dawn from @newts :

and the tree, all alone despite being in a crowd from @PeteXXX

So, the winner is [drum roll] @PeteXXX for their lonely tree.

Over to you and thanks to everyone for the entries.

Well done Pete.

Thank you! There were many lovely photos to choose from... I am honoured 😊

I will ponder on a new theme today.

I have thunked..
The theme for the new competition is..

'Give me a sign'

As usual, a bike, or part of, must be in the photograph, and must be taken within the time frame of the competition.

The end date will be August 31st 2021

This won't count as taken a good few weeks ago an Old Road bike

@roubaixtuesday GWS for a recovery with your back, and thanks for this challenge, which I found difficult mainly because I didn’t manage to do too much cycling either.
Well done @PeteXXX , a good entry amongst some other good ones!
Give me a sign…. That’ll get the grey matter fizzing, and a longer time to do this, with a 2 week holiday to boot too (for me 🤣)

Here's a sign that someone keeps chickens.
