Bikes: It's complicated.

—pics in full sun are almost always awful.
—out-of-focus closeups are always awful. Don’t post them; try again.
—in-door bike pics are usually awful; i can just hear that poor bike screaming to be let outside. Doesn’t matter how cool you’re decor is. That’s usually just distracting.
—we notice when you post the same pics over and over and over. Please stop.
—excessive paragraph breaks and vocabulary the average reader needs to look up (but likely won’t) are just awful.
—bfers expressing excessive opinions are usually awful.
tl;dr
