Inappropriate cycling stock photos
Kim:
(Inspired by this post.)
You know the sort of thing: The local council announces 50p for cycling infrastructure and/or a 2-hour $kyRide-type event on the last Sunday in June when everyone's on holiday. The local news reports it, illustrating the article with a stock photo of Bradley Wiggins[1] winning the Tour.
Bonus points for the inverse phenomenon, illustrating a high-end sportive or race with pictures of some canary-clad recent Bikeability graduates in the local park or similar.
People modelling cycling equipment who looks suspiciously like they've never ridden a bike in their life are also eligible [but not as much as the designers of cycle clothing that doesn't fit people with quads - Ed.], as are sufficiently entertaining pictures of inappropriate or dangerous equipment (think bike adverts with the forks on backwards).
What have you got...
[1] Averted if Mr Wiggins will actually be present at the event.

What does this photo depict? A sportive? Charity ride? Tour of Britain perhaps? Yes, probably. Certainly they all look slick and sleek. But according to the Bristol Post it's an Extinction Rebellion mass ride. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/traffic-cyclists-bristol-extinction-rebellion-2999411 Somehow I don't expect the actual event to look quite the same.
(I know there's a link in the OP but hey it kicks the thread off.)

I mean, sure, it is an e-bike. And it's a pretty cool photo. But it hardly seems representative of e-bike users in general.

That's so you can't identify riders by their legs
