Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[BigAl68]

love it, a few over on singletrack have them.

knowing px though, it'll come as a box of innertubes and a jobsworth chainchecker

It is a bit over my budget and there is their stupid admin fee for the cycle scheme but even so at that price it is a bargain. I think I will need to stick a few pennies away this month and next as the voucher won't be with me until the end of September.. It is now on the list though

Well no photos just a close call with a bin lorry. My back was aching when i got up so I decided to get the train. As I come through the tunnel at the rear of Bath train station I come face to face with a massive bin lorry on the wrong side of the road. I jam on the brakes and stop with my front wheel touching his bumper. He then tells me I should be going slower?? I was doing 10 mph on my side of the road ffs. I just has one of the station staff come and ask if I am OK and tells me it's a council van and gave me his details... Think a call to the council is in order later. Almost had a lovely colour themed photo of my bloody body.

Yikes!!
Glad you're ok.
I don't think that you want to be rebuilt again, even if they do have the technology!
Hope you have a less eventful journey home.

Well bike and colour, and so far there seem to be a number of entries entered before the start date (just to be clear my submissions so far have all been taken BEFORE the date it was announced.)

Also @BigAl68 has submitted a nice qualifying photo (I forgot that important point in my summary).

Several feet seem to be providing some colour, with or without a bike

Oh lordy, why I am saying this? Mine was taken yesterday so fully eligible.

The one i submitted this morning was taken at 0545 this morning.

A point of note, the Judge did not say that the photos had to be taken after his announcement did he ?

Hmm. To me, that's one of the cornerstones of the competition. You've got to take the photo yourself with the theme in mind. I know its changed a lot since the OP but otherwise it's not really a challenge, just a test of how well organised your photo archives are.

If you insist.

I will have to get my blue sky thinking head out of the box then.

London is so dreary today. Any bikes i am seeing on my quick escape from the office look dull.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Just send one of your team out to take a few bike snaps with your phone

That's what employees are for.

I could do that though knowing them they would not come back with photos of bikes.

I was going to ask how we'd tell the difference...
