Someone should make a bike out of gate tubing so it's properly camouflaged when leaning against a gate. Your effort's not bad.

I had to double check before I started the thread - I was sure someone must have done so in the past, given how often I use gates as a photographic prop. Though, interestingly, pickings are pretty much non-existent in my Alpine retreat - I'll have to make a special effort in August to find some. But I can't actually think of any at all, off hand. In five years, I don't think I've snapped one.

Devon, on the other hand, is built using gates. And baler cord.

The big Carlton Circuit i have feels and is sized like a gate for sure

My Cube tonight against a no frills industrial farm gate. Made for prairie machinery to get in and out.

The Arrington gate at Wimpole. Strictly speaking, this is the wrong way round

I take loads of photos of the bikes in gateways so here are a couple to be going on with:

Dawes at Knockin, en route to Vyrnwy

Raleigh in Attingham Park on my way to work

And look how far off road I've gone on my road bike...
