Camera Craniums: The Photography Community for Enthusiasts

This is the entries thread

It's probably lack of imagination but I find subjects such as fun or cool very difficult, so let's have something simple: This week the topic is BICYCLE.

The main subject of your photo must be one or more pedal cycles - maybe a penny farthing in a museum, a child's first ride without stabilisers, a lady in a long dress sailing along on a Dutch roadster, a club cyle race, BMX stunt.....  

Editing limited to cropping, adjusting colour (or converting to monochrome) but no montages or Picasso effects.

Pictures to be taken between 00.01am Monday 16 August to Sunday 22nd August.
Pictures to be posted in the entries thread no later than 23.59pm Monday 23rd August.
Poll will be up Tuesday 24th August  until 23.59pm Friday 27th August.
Winner to be announced Saturday 28th August (winner should post the new topic no later than 23.59 Sunday 29th August).
