Bicycling photos
I was searching through my stock photo discs, hoping to find a particular type of bicycling photo. There was no biking category, so I dug through several different sections. Just thought you might enjoy seeing some of what I DID come across....
I believe this is what is called a railbike....

Every lane is a bike lane
Those bicycle cab things are used in Surfers Paradise during the tourist season. I was going to get a job "driving" one a few years back, except that the owner (typical Gold Coast tourism operator) was a total jerk who liked ripping people off.
Thanks for the pics, Inkwolf!

Seeing the picture of the cuban cyclists reminds me of a story by Dave Eggers that appeared in Time magazine. Eggers, the author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, wrote a great travel article about a trip to Cuba. He mentioned that one year in the not too distant past, China shipped an aid package to Cuba in the form of one million bicycles. I wonder if the bikes in the picture were from that shipment.

Since we are sharing pictures...
I spent last summer in europe. Here's a picture of a bicycle in Amsterdam. The building in the background is a parking garage for bicycles.

I was in Beijing China two years ago - it was INSANE how many bikes were in that city. The city population is something like 13 million people (in ONE city!)...and there are reportedly like 9 million bikes in the city!
The vast majority are Giant brand bikes...though nothing like what you'd find at your local Giant dealer.
Here's a pic from the trip:
Pay Bike Parking Lot at night
I wish I'd take more pics of all the bikes...

Bac, nice pics...but I think you need to modify your exposure time...they're moving too quickly for your camera!
