You are obviously a regular Mickler.

decided that I wanted my chains to last longer than 2,000km when they cost rather a lot more than £4.29 which is what they were on the only road bike and on my tourer... just finished a bottle of dry wax, now trying out a ceramic wax lube (for the chain...) but that is a re-apply after ever journey (for both of them) and if I don't the poor bike complains very loudly... hoping a new chain will see me through winter and then probably have to replace everything come the spring... £££ just tooo much mileage, wears things out too quickly and with the state of the lane I live down... (Yuck...) already playing dodge with the muck and having to wash the bike after each and every even mildly damp ride... got away with this mornings, but will have re-lube chain tomorrow before I am back on the commute on Thursday and Friday..

Another picture stolen from the internet! The standards in this contest really are slipping.

I photo'ed it... and it is autumnal... oranges and reds, and clearly shows an autumn storm coming... and there is a bike (I photoshopped in afterwards..)...

This is how dirty your shoes should look. The only downside, you have to take your boots off and all clothing by the back door. God help my neighbours if they look over the fence!

If you think that's dirty, try walking across Cotswold fields in the winter. If you aren't at least a couple of inches taller at the end of the walk (due to sticky mud coating your soles) then you haven't done a proper walk!

they are way too clean. you can still see tread and remnants of colour...

Darn - beaten to it... now where is that mod tool where I can promote and demote the order of messages...

That's from the bike not walking. They've had a wash off too, in about two feet of water!

Anyway @Spinney, your bike shoes must be like new!

Don't think they've been out yet, no pictures to prove it

Ok went out for a short ride and I have the following, I accidentally removed a bit of tree with the second photo.

At least your spot-the-bike effort in your last shot is better than those 'spot the bird' shots that someone kept posting a couple of challenges ago!

You mean it is actually a bike!

 

[djb1971]

I won't have anyone knocking @summerdays

It's those pics and the pics posted on every page keeping it going. Everyone else is just waffling rubbish, me included

I like the way you've thoughtfully composed that 2nd one in the box junction on the road.
