From Minnesota, Land of 10,000+ Lakes
Hey neat! I've got a few of these...
Lake Nokomis, Minneapolis, MN (from Behind Bars)...
Mississippi River @ Saint Paul, MN - with Jonathan Padelford cruising by...
Same river, play of shadows...
About three miles downstream...
Velo de Ville by Mississippi at sunrise...
His Majesty, King of Bikes, near unknown pond at sunset...
Great Scott! - near the marina...
Does this count?
Many more to come. I've got a lot to work with here...

I like internal gear hubs, fenders, and chainguards; and I ride in everyday clothing.

Also, you should post these up in the Ride Pics or Post your SSFG (single speed/fixed gear) threads in the Single Speed/Fixed Gear forum, I bet you'll get quite a bit love over there too.

Rode the Saint Paul Riverfront on Saturday, and came away with several seaworthy scenics... (sorry) 
This one is at the barge dock, right alongside the water.
Here is one of the scenic outlooks they put in for people who stroll along the river. Very popular with homeless folks, actually.
Then we have the Minnesota Centennial Showboat:
The High Bridge...
And one last shot from the ride home, on the other side of the river:

On the one hand, FIXIE CONVERSION WITH TINY STEM AND PROBABLY EXTRA-NARROW FLAT BARS OMG.
On the other, a nice Madone (?) frame with Mad Fiber wheels = $$$$$$
It's like paying $18 for a can of PBR.

On the bluffs above the swollen Mississippi River, after several days of heavy rain up north.

Raleigh Rests by the River
1971 Raleigh DL-1 Rod-Braked Roadster on a rest-stop by the riverside in Hastings, Minnesota, USA.
Although heavy, once rolling, this bike really eats up the miles. Beware of steep hills: it is very heavy going up, and the brakes can barely stop you coming down.
