Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Jenkins]

The final two were whittled down to @EltonFrog 's wonderful selection of wild flowers set against the shiny chrome & blue of the bike

or @Oldhippy 's complete contrast of Margate Lido's faded tower

This is one where I wish both could win, but there's just something about @Oldhippy's picture that strikes a chord with me living near a "past it" seaside town that gives it that very fractional edge. So it's over to you for the September competition and thank you again to all that made this a difficult decision.

Thank you @Jenkins very kind of you to pick my photo. I will have a think and let you all know tomorrow what the next theme is. 😊

Thanks @Jenkins for the deliberations. Looking forward to @Old Hippy ’s theme, just in time for the weather to turn bad this weekend

Morning fellow cycling photographers, after thinking about what subject for this month I've decided on 'A piece of history' Big or small but something in the landscape or urban environment that has clung on in our ever increasing modern world that shows times past. Huge scope I know but I think might be interesting.

May I start with my cantilever brakes, times past alright, lol.

Cantilevers? I raise you centre pulls, a piece of history in an otherwise modernised front end.

Lovely! I had those exact brakes and mudguards, oh and one of these at the back.

Quite a bit of history big or small has ended up here before being blended into the surrounding landscape

An old iron bootscraper. Something rarely fitted to new houses but still useful to this very day!
