Nice pictures. I've always like that color combo somewhat, but seeing it pop on that background makes it much more appealing.

That is some spectacular scenery. You definitely have an eye for photography. Or perhaps you live in such an amazing city any photos taken would look good.

This reminds me of an 'incident' last year. I rode my bike to the park to workout at one of those outdoor stations. A pretty gal parked her bike and sat down about 15-20 feet away. She read a book then took a nap. I passed her after my workout walking my bike. She looked up and stared. Then, she followed me walking her bike. She followed me for maybe 500 feet. She didn't keep much distance. Maybe 20-30 feet.

After a while, it was obvious she was following me. I turned back and looked in her direction and she swiftly veered off sideways into a parking lot. Another 100 feet out and she was still in the parking lot near the park. I got on my bike and rode off.


I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on the reflectors. I love reflectors on my bikes: the more visible I am the safer I am. Not to mention, they're free!

in a Country where the media rials up anger and hate towards cyclist..... I think taking reflectors off might be a good thing.
