Lean time
 
There is a FB page of this and lets see some hot bikes leaning against something different.
Here is my 81 Centurion Pro Tour leaning against a friends car on a hot day. American owned, Japanese built bike,Japanese components, leaning on a Japanese car in Cambodia

it is a 11-36 10 speed with a 49x45x34 set of chainrings

Now that's a low bottom gear. :)

Bicycles need to lean against something (or lie flat) because they are two tired to do otherwise.

Austrian bicycle, German cars

My bikes lean on each other. They may be friends, I dunno.

Does that make them co-depedent?

Brings Lamborghini tractors to mind, the classic ones are blue and orange.

This put me in mind of an oldie... my first Bob Jackson (that I picked up for $100 on a tip from jgedwa) leaning against the sign made by a farmer with dry wit.

Cell phone cameras sure have improved a lot over the past 11 years.

I always liked the purple UO-8s (as well as the "champagne" ones), but they were pretty rare, at least in Los Angeles, where the default color selection for several years was white, blue, or green.

Just a matter of time before someone mentions Al Green or Bill Withers....

Couple more. Against the curb in Pasadena. And at the little sidewalk library.

NM. It popped into my head during my ride, and then stuck there.

tyler_fred 08-28-18 11:24 AM

Upon closer inspection I believe some of these are fakes. Clearly some are “propped up” and not “leaned”..:foo:
