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.

The Mountain Mirrycle, it's called, and I use them on all my bikes. I delete one of the arms, so it doesn't look so gawky. There is only one bike in my stable that I couldn't use it on, and that's because the I.D. of the handlebar was tapered at the end. Tightening the bolt simply squeezed it out of the hole. I had to use an exterior-mount motorcycle style mirror on that bike... not ideal.
