Your most Inappropriate Bicycle Pic from 2015
Most of you folks take beautiful pics of scenery, people, bicycles, etc.
Perfectly framed & exposed & photoshopped.
This is not the thread for those shots.
It can be a weird picture, an awkward pose, a truly funky bike, whatever...... just keep it 'G-rated'.
non-drive side view
mis-matched wheels/tires (and badly)
stem and seatpost not the same color
saddle and h-bar tape also different
what's with that huge bag on a race bike?
no panniers or basket to take advantage of FREE offers
At least we're out on the road - Sunny & 36F.

What could be more inappropriate than @photogravity and @noglider on a Bilenky tandem? Note the terrible towel behind noglider's saddle!

We accessorized Crank Addict's Peugeot after the DD. Appropriate at the time though...
Come to think of it, we're not sure what he carries in that Camelback he rides with.

@Wildwood thank you for this thread. There's a lot for me to live down. @somasanmarcos wins the thread. @Grillparzer, that ***** is nasty. I'm guessing someone lost a nice bike.

First off, I got all excited seeing that green Peugeot with two shifters on the right side! Not sure how he managed it, but inquiring minds wanna know.
Prior to that, though, I realized that it's the only time I've witnessed @noglider's legs! Hahaha
