Can be anything. A reason 'why' would be helpful though.

I'll kick off with the four chaps below, who just happen to be cyclists. Why does it make me smile? I think they're just having a great time. And I'd like to be one of 'em. Four chums, (let's call them, from l-r, John, Paul, Ringo and Douglas) out for a ride up in the mountains.

"Time for a pose here chaps."

"Douglas!" says Ringo. "What are yer doing ya knob 'ead, yer posing like a girl!"

"Come on chaps, I've seen it in magazines. This is how the professionals do it" says Douglas.

Interesting frame on Ringo's bike methinks, and are those 'bits' sticking out on their forks for putting your feet on, and freewheeling?

thats a great photo Riggers. When did bikes get panniers? Handling on the downhills must have been interesting on those..

here's mine:

Ringo's chain is a bit slack. Very interesting frame, yes.

Pegs are for putting feet up when going downhill.

It begs the question Mike. Who put him up to it!!?

I thought Ringo was riding a Whippet, which would link it so well to the second photo.

But he isn't

It would be a very easy one for a 'guess the place' thread.

Another reason it would be easy to guess is that it was in the CTC's email newsletter recently.

David Martin · « **Reply #7 on:** 19 March, 2012, 02:14:49 pm »

It was? Oh well.

tiermat · « **Reply #8 on:** 19 March, 2012, 03:09:34 pm »

Why? Just because, that is why

OK, the real reason is that I have just finished a charity that always kills me on the second half, to be greeted by TLD handing out the medals. That made EVERYTHING ok....

Aw, Tiermat, she's grown such a lot since then.

Made me smile too

For much the same reason as Tiermat

Think that was after the fourth time he'd ridden through that puddle

tiermat · « **Reply #11 on:** 10 May, 2012, 01:08:58 pm »

Same pic, one slightly modified with Retinex.

Not sure which I like the best, both make me smile though, and yes, both could do with a bit of cropping...

Bit dark, but:

In Forest Row, Butterfly noticed a pig on a fence

I need to go and see if Eeyore (found in the undergrowth on last sunday's ride, and placed on a crash barrier) is still there. His nose had been nibbled away by rodents, which I'm sure he expected would happen.

Without the caption confusion might have ensued

I wonder what that sounded like...

Oh, I've got one to go with that:

I never bother to do Royal Mail's test prints...

Kim · « **Reply #23 on:** 20 December, 2012, 07:41:02 pm »

That was several years ago, but I don't think it was a test print.

Turns out that not having "Sample" printed across the image (even after it's told you it won't) requires proper Acrobat Reader.

Spose I've always used the 'proper' Acrobat reader.
