this photo by John FitzGerald

Once again I prefer the big version, which you can see by clicking the pic or typing Z.

Aschi "Freestone", Denis Croissant, J. Gafarot, tiabunna and 3 other people have particularly liked this photo

Fandom straight lines and curves and colors - repays looking for a while. Something rather impersonal about this - machines going about doing their own thing, wishing we would leave them alone. Or faintly amused by us.

I was attracted by the pink chain sleeve, Bob -- any colour will attract me. Then when I got up close I saw the bike was voguing.

It's that lovely chrome curve on the right. And the handlebar. Certainly keeps you looking for a while.

I took four shots here, Jean, and also found that the more I saw of the helmet, the better. I agree that the handlebar is the most important feature, though.

Great perspective John. But what's voguing?

Thanks, Maggs. The vogue is a dance in which the dancers adopt poses inspired by fashion models (like those in Vogue).

A very interesting perspective and details - but a USB plug for a bicycle?

Thanks, George. I was wondering about that myself.

It was the leather handlebar grip that caught my eye..........followed by the pink lock-chain cover. I like the randomness of this image.

Thanks, Keith. There is a lot to look at here despite the ordinariness of the subject.

It was highly publicized here, José. In Europe not so much, I guess.

I keep coming back to this, so you must be doing something right. Yet I will say that I believe bicycles are very challenging subjects for photography because there are so many gaps for extraneous unwelcome things to insinuate themselves; and furthermore that perspective, distance and angle of view offer bewildering choices for all those tubes, spokes, cables, and circles.

A good summary, TLC. Most of my bike shots are of bikes en masse -- so views of seats, spokes, etc. This is probably the only photograph I've taken of a single bike that I've taken that I'm happy with.

Oh -- bikes with snow on them are popular, but then any photo with snow in it is popular.. People love to see Canadians suffering.

Not all people enjoy your suffering with snow. Here in the UK people generally have a very positive attitude towards Canadians. We are impressed to hear you habitually leave your doors unlocked. What a great country is Canada. Except for the snow, of course.

Thanks, TLC. We are far from ideal, though, I'll spare you the details; they're all online.

We're not really suffering with the snow, either. We are prepared for it. I feel sorry for the British and other Europeans having hot summers this year -- I don't think you're as well prepared for heat and humidity as we are, Your summer also seems to be definitely worse than ours has been so far.

Well, I just checked and I see you're quite cool these days. More power to you.
