575 @ f4.5 - The Haiku and Photography Thread
The idea is simple: Post a photograph of something C&V Bicycle related, and a haiku to go with it.
Example:
Example:
.
..
blue whale on the road
happy and ready to go
where is your parade?

@ClydeClydeson How'd you know that's a truck? I fixed these in a previous life. Nothing like jacking up a hopper car and wedging your body in there, knowing that you won't feel a thing if it let's go.
My Dad was Clyde. We're brothers.
