Your bike in front of some water - pictures

My bike in front of, behind, well *in* some water. I guess it's rained a bit in the last few days. Eventually this water will get down to the Exe.

Halfway through a ride up in the Lake District from a couple of years ago. Love riding up there, some stunning scenery to look at

I'm not sure of how one differentiates... the River Sid is 6.5 miles long, and the River Rhône 510 miles long. But the River Sid (and it is a tiddler in girth as well in length) is still a river... 🤷‍♂️

Mind you, it could be a brook...

Or a creek

Or a creek

I think creeks are probably all tidal, and if this is tidal, we're in deep doodoo 💩

I've never heard that definition of a creek.

Though looking it up, that does seem to be a common British (and only British) usage according to several online dictionaries.

Looking in the OED, the earliest usage (going back to about 1300) is under the definition "A narrow recess or inlet in the coastline of the sea, or the tidal estuary of a river; an armlet of the sea which runs inland in a comparatively narrow channel and offers facilities for harbouring and unloading smaller ships.", but the OED does list more general usage later on (17th century in England), and especially in the US.

There isn't actually a proper definition for River

My bike on Brean beach in front of the Bristol Channel.

The Exe was a bit lively tonight. Somehow the rain/hail missed me.

Rather calmer water on the Exeter Ship Canal this morning:
