Pictures that you like, which happen to have bikes in them. * No glamour/soft porn

After reading this post in the porn thread yesterday...

It's a nice photo too.

I think I actually prefer great photos of normal bikes to normal photos of 'porn' bikes.

Everyone takes photos of their bikes. I took some yesterday; They showed the bike, but did very little for me as pictures.

Once in a while though, I see one that makes me stop & look for a bit longer. Appreciating it as a picture in itself, whether that be through use of composition, or simply the positive feelings I might get from seeing it. I couldn't see any similar threads ( brief search ) so I'll start this one. I won't be too surprised to see it get merged though. I'm sure I've seen something like this somewhere ( another forum perhaps? )

Please don't use this thread to post up all the usual sweaty old glamour girls draped over a shiny fixie. There's plenty of other sites that appreciate that sad, tired old shite.

Here's my first attempt.

Whilst I was looking at examples of custom Ti bikes this morning, I saw this photo by an mtbr member called Drevil http://forums.mtbr.com/singlespeed/how-much-does-your-ss-weigh-803101-3.html

Although the bike itself is a love it or hate it affair, I was drawn to the picture. The composition is a bit unorthodox, but I find that my eye contiually moves around to different details within the scene. Overall, I find it to be quite a calming image & I think I'll be using it as a desktop background for a while.

Anyone else?

Your photo collection?

No its not, I just came across it when going through flickr. Rastaschas has a really nice collection off pics? Here is another interesting one from another flickr member.

I think it's hard to take a dull picture at Burning Man; or one without some bicycle content.

Crikey, I'd forgotten about this thread. Nice additions guys!

Lets keep this thread alive.

Lanzarote. This is the shittiest bike I've ever ridden, 10 euro/day hire from the local hotel cos all the bike shops were closed on a Sunday. Rusty chain and a slow puncture on the rear... made 73 miles a good work-out. Amazing place!
