Back to the very flat Exe. (Creative note: I'd normally avoid a straight line that bisects the frame, but this one works, I think, as it's slightly unreal in its straightness and uniformity.)

Apart from something awkward about the wheels over lapping the jetty, the asymmetry of the front wheel protruding more than the rear, the seemingly slightly out of focus shot, the mundane background and a bike with too much clutter bolted to it, it's a fantastic picture.

Did you put your helmet in a puddle?

Yes. It was already wet.

Yes. It was already wet.

You must have ridden through a really deep puddle.

A big lot of wet stuff had been falling from the sky.

Yes. It was already wet.

Most of our rural puddles have diesel and a variety of other less than pleasent additives - many of which can have a deliterious, but invisible, effect on the integrity of the constituent parts of a lid, potentially reducing it's effectiveness when it is required in an emergency sitiuation like bonce bashing into the ground.
