Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

Well it's not raining here... Lovely bright moon.

 

[summerdays]

I don't care if it rains at night - I want sunshine - and lots of it please!

Edit: Moon is nice - but it was just miserable here today!

@coffeejo : you are demanding photo competition topic setter!
Very hard me thinks ...

Is that you reflecting then Pat?

 

[summerdays]

Ok - my first entries:


My bike reflected in the water ..... (this was my only encounter with ice - the stone around the fountains and the decking were both very icy!!!)



Reflections on the water on a beautiful crisp, clear morning; taken from the cycling/pedestrian bridge at the back of Templemeads Station.

Cracking start!

However, on reflection () it seems I should clarify that by cycling-related, I meant that the photo must include something cycling-specific, such as a bike, cyclist, cycling paraphernalia, signs etc, rather than a view of somewhere you reached by cycling.

Good grief, is this thread still going? I'm going to try and join in again. (I won once, you know.... sigh...)

Err... stretching the point slightly ... there is a cycle path running down the side of the river ... it's just a bit hard to see

Slightly? You've stretched it so much you could knit @potsy one of these:

Okay, this isn't really for the comp coz I took it 3 weeks ago but I couldn't find anywhere else for it to go. And it does fit the theme...

(I mean, swans ride bikes. Honest.)

Actually I do think there is a tenuous link - I aim to be swan like on the bike. They paddle underneath the surface whilst gliding serenely along - I aim to cycle along with legs going round whilst the top half of me merely looks elegant and serene (don't think I'm entirely succeeding - especially not if you see me going uphill).

My plan didn't quite work out today, I'll blame this on a Pat5mph style accident shot

I can spy with my eye ... an Aldi's winter cycling jacket!
Btw, you gave me an idea

Nowt to do with cycling so this isn't a candidate but I have this image as my desktop. My mother saw it and couldn't figure out why they'd built 2 churches next to each other.



It's a reflection of St Paul's church in a window of the Laban centre in my street.
