Yeah, I know we've got a bicycle pics thread, but I thought maybe some of us might have some shots of our bicycles in interesting places ... away from the white garage door.

What are some interesting things you've seen in your travels on your bicycle ... and what have you been compelled to stop and take a photo of as a backdrop for your bicycle? Anyone got some pictures of your bicycle and the "big things" (giant community monuments) found in many small towns?

Or shots of your bicycle from different angles?



Like these maybe ...

Oooohhh - a picture thread.

This was taken on the road up Alpe D'Huez.

Sweet pic, machka. That looks like the most amazing tandem bike ever built.

Here's my contribution. It's not as cool as the OP, but it's right next to my bed. That's actually where my bike lives. That's what happens when you're a poor, married, college student. That's my dresser on the right with my floor pump behind it. My bike actually serves as a clothes hanger half the time. Anyways, enjoy.

@ Living Room


@ Redwood


@ Roger's Pass


@ Glacier National Park - Columbia Ice Field.

Ok, I already posted these to the NorCal forum, but here's a few from a ride up to Tioga Pass in Yosemite:


at the summit


resting at a pretty alpine meadow and pond above 9,000 feet

those polar bottles are almost bigger than your frame!

jonathanb715: in every single picture you took, you took the wrong side of the bike...

Some muck after a rainy ride



Found a couple of unopened beers while taking a break



Halfway up Mt. Katsuragi in the Osaka boonies. I have no idea...

That's actually a great photo!

I like this whole thread too.

Some shots where I was testing out my new 10-22mm super wide angle lens for my Canon D-SLR

shock horror, you can actually see some sky in aberdeen.

My cannondale and a cannon, taken in valley forge national park.

Yeah I know..... we get lucky here every once and awhile. It is a rare day that it isn't either raining or has 25 mph winds... or both.

You must be some climber if you went up Alpe D'Huez in that gear.

i know. i have a friend from there, and i've done some racing up around there 10+ years ago.

That's my old beater in the background.

My water bottle cage.

That looks really new. Get some dirt on it!

My ride getting stolen by a giant....

Must be the "quads".

:d

No cool shots of my new bike, only a cool video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYqIjUhl490

Here are some pics from my tour that I thought were pretty cool.

On 74 going into Hemet, CA.




It's in there somewhere.

Tackling Schweitzer on a cold rainy day.





The climb was pretty basic. A few swithcbacks, and some cold rain on the way up. Here's a pic from a scenic point near the top. You can just barely see Sandpoint through the clouds below, resting on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille.
