The Fat Tyred Ride

Sorry about the quality, but you get the picture. A fat tyred bike is a hard way of getting around. It looks like car tyres  that have been used. Only an eccentric would ride one I suppose and the rider looks like a good candidate.

The Mighty Bicycle

I'm not too sure where this cycle comes from as the website that it originated from is now deleted.It is a concept bicycle of course, not too sure how much it weighs, it looks quite heavy so economical riding would be difficult. In fact I am not too sure what it was designed for other than fashion. Looks cool though.

Team Time Trial Event

Another great action shot of a team time trial event with top racing cyclists in competition. The uniformity of the advertising clad clothing ads to the composition of the picture. The is something about racing against the clock - an unlimited goal.

The BMX Bike - Designed For Throwing About

This picture shows exactly what BMX bikes are designed to do. They are strong and robust and throwing them around is all part of the sport. I see many BMX riders in my home town with their tricks that they spent man hours practising in the streets. With a single gear they aren't designed for distance just fun and games and why not?

A Smashed Up Cycle

I'm not quite sure how this happened, I only hope the rider is okay. Not too sure whether it can be repair, but the spare parts will always come in useful. I feel quite sorry for bikes that get into such a state especially road bikes that shouldn't be confronted with the impact that this poor machine as taken.

A Useful Tool For Bike And Dog

I often used to take my dog out for walks whilst riding my bike. On a conventional lead it is a nightmare especially when he saw a cat! This tool is a very useful invention, being rigid but with a small degree of flex, make it a comfortable ride and walk respectively for rider and dog. More importantly, it's safe!

Not A Cycle In Sight - Just Cyclists

Road cycling is the most colourful sport as seen in this picture. Not a cycle in sight here as they are all obscured by road bikers riding them. The scene just begs for being part of the event although most of us know we could never keep up with them.

A Tandem - But Not As You Know It

I do believe this is the Red Devil waving from the top of this giant tandem. He follows the Tour De France every year and is a celebrity in the cycling world famed for his cycling eccentricity. The picture gives a good example of this of course.

Bicycle Gears - Very Useful

Gears are so useful on bicycles making it a joy to ride up and down hills with ease, especially on mountain bikes that have 7, 8 or 9 on the rear and 3 on the front crank. The technology makes them very easy to use nowadays and they last for ages if you clean and oil them regularly.

The Bicycle Wheelie

Bicycle wheelies is quite hard to master, it took me six months with regular practice. Once mastered however it's great when you can just strut your stuff. The photo was found because not only is this chap good at wheelies, but I really like Specialized mountain bikes. I bought my son one and wished I owned it.

A Cool Kid's Bicycle

Getting children to ride bicycles is an investment in their health, not only now, but for the future. It has to be a pleasure of course and a cool looking bicycle really helps. As long as it is safe as well as having street credit the that's great. This one retails at around £100.

The Quadricycle

This is a 'Quadricycle' a four-wheeled vehicle from the Victorian era. By the end of the 19th century they had disappeared but were reintroduced in the 1970 as a tourist vehicle that you can hire. Much more sociable than a tandem!

Cycle Touring - Taking In The Scene

I love cycle touring, I've ;lost count of how many miles I had clocked up. The freedom aspect is great and of course camping is a must with this activity, tent and camping gear on board with you. A lovely shot here of a cycle tourer taking in the view.

The Hobby Horse

This is a picture of the Hobby Horse and was built by Denis Johnson in 1881. He was a British coach maker but apparently wasn't the original inventor British coach-maker Denis Johnson. That in 1817 by a German inventor called Drais de Sauerbrunn, he called it the 'Draisienne' Johnson's version had no pedals and to move along yo have to push your feet along the ground. With no brakes dragged feet are used to stop.

The Original Raleigh Chopper Bicycle

This is the original Raleigh 'Chopper' bicycle of the 1970's. I never got to own one as I was skint most of the time as a kid. As I remember I wasn't too keen on this bike anyway. These are now collectors' bikes and are often up for auction for massive amounts of money. A fin fashion bike which I have not offence against as it does get many kids on bicycles and that' cant' be bad.
