Bike porn

You can't appreciate a bike unless it's been ridden, I can't appreciate a bike unless the valves are aligned properly. It's the variety of life that gives it its flavour, non?

Well, that's a very post-modern stance you take and I can appreciate the argument but if life was simply an infinite number of different ice cream flavours it would be a very strange place. Most people know chocolate, vanilla and mint-choc chip are the best flavours and more of these will be sold. As humans we classify things, in from the chaos. To me 'a bike', is something you do. photography or engineering or symmetry is a different category of thing. not that I don;t appreciate these things.
