Fully Loaded - Touring Bikes

[Cudzoziemiec]

How can you tell it's pointing the wrong way? You must have sharp eyes to be able to read that signpost! (I can't actually see a path in that direction, but there is a sign so I presume the path is just hidden by the grass and the camera angle.)

Handlebars are pointing downhill.

Something I've been ticked off for many times (sorry, fboab, this is just the most recent, albeit also t-i-c, example).  Please note that there was a closer version of the wide angle image:

She doesn't get out much, so, while I was waiting for my meeting on Clapham Common early this morning, naturally I asked Whsh the Woodrup to pose.



Please note the valves almost aligned (yes, I do use collars and dustcaps - wanna make summat of it?), and the pedals as aligned as they could be and still support the bike.  Apologies for my lack of forward planning, as I left the marmite at home.

Clazza, clazza, classic n00b error there- it's facing the wrong way. We need to be able to take the mick out of your grubby sprockets. 

I'm left handed and don't care

My sprockets are shockingly grubby, though.  You've probably been saved from a real fright.

Most people would use a Prop-Stand

Downhill? They're pointing across the path we can see, parallel to a path we can't see but infer is there from the signpost in the background. The path we can see is going downhill.

And, yes, he's definitely using a prop stand!

[LEE]

He does

As opposed to a Band-Stand.

It was my attempt to win the Edinburgh Fringe best joke award.

[clarion]

Oh.  I see.  Well, it's better than the one which actually won it.

It's alright Pet, I got it!

You're new here and yet you have caught onto Butterfly's reputation for having everything when cycle camping.

To be fair, a lot of what was carried to Mildenhall was for the Little Duck.

He's quite compact and lightweight himself, but as with German touring recumbents, it's all the accessories that add up...

[billplumtree]

Cool?  Downright chilly if the depth of that puddle up ahead is anything like seat height

[LEE]

I expect a few more entries on this thread following the YACF camping weekend (it won't be any of mine unless we allow fully loaded cars)

[clarion]

My bike will not be fully loaded for a while yet, whatever I'm doing this weekend.

From the top of Watership Down Up this weekend.  The photo doesn't show how astoundingly windy it was up there.

As opposed to the rims, which are neither the same colour, nor the same size, or even hole count.

[PH]

Not as loaded as some on here, but this is as fully loaded as I go.
