Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

Sorry, my fault on that. I didn't realize the canals were concentrated more in the south. I thought I was being fair. Sorry about that Northerners.

arent there more miles of canal in the north and midlands of england than anywhere else in europe, or something?

i have to say, practically any photo of ones bike taken while one isnt on said bike amounts to a parked bike. its not a particularly enticing theme!

Good to see some entries. Couple of apologies, I'd meant it to go on for two weeks, must have mis read the calendar, closing date is 21st April. Sorry to anyone who finds it an unenticing theme, I meant it to be inclusive, I thought you could add your own enticing!
Keep em coming.

No problem with the theme from over here. I'm off the bike on doctor's orders. Will try and get a pic if I can get out before the finish date.

In the meantime, here's one I took the day before the current competition began which loosely fits the theme:

Parked bike, showing off some new additions (saddle, bar ends, pedals)

I was out riding today but was running late and didn't want to get home after dark (which I ended up doing anyway), and it was on the clock with Strava (the faster I ride the more my fitness site says I get to eat ), so I wanted to keep the ride half way respectable. I did see this pasture and a bunch of cows that I though would look cool but I tried to stand my bike up with a stick and it wouldn't work so I had to use the fence. By the time I did all this the cows had ran away from the weirdo that was sort of dressed like a pumpkin. Those little black dots are all that was left of the cows by the time I got through fumbling around, even forgot to close the saddle bag for my bike's glamour shot. My phone seems to have trouble with the contrast of the light like that but more than likely there is just some adjustment I am not aware of to handle it. I will keep practicing !

There's nothing sophisticated about this photo other than the plastic bag over my saddle, it's stair-rodding here, to get any wetter you'd have to be underwater!

Edit: just noticed that's a Farm Foods bag, can't be mine as we only shop in Waitrose

When I referred to north I was including the entire UK. I also noticed that rich p is from about as far south as you can get in the UK. There doesn't appear to be as many down there either.

Canals in orange.

Still keep forgetting! I will try harder! I've locked it up at different racks in the past few days ... just forgot to get the camera out each time and today I was looking at another bike in the rack and thinking it was a nice bike - why didn't I take that photo!

 

[summerdays]

It's never too late Summerdays, I think the strict time limits of late are being relaxed again

Here's one of my commuter in it's 'executive' space

Looks like it isn't your space exclusively ... or is it at home?
