    We have a similar event like this tomorrow. It's the "leave your car at home" day.

    I don't ride much. My wife thinks it is dangerous because cars don't look out for cyclists.

    Now that's a terrific shot for motion. All the helmets look quite similar.

    I try my best to bike year round. I will have to find some winter tyres for my new bike soon.

    It takes good strong legs (not to mention heart) to ride in a 100 mile race. Good for them!

    Fine shot of the bike race start. Bike races are fun to watch, but they are difficult to see as they rush by in a moment and then are gone miles down the road.

    Nice shot. Bicycle races are hard to photograph. Too much motion in a small amount of space.

    How fascinating that they all have the same hats. It makes them look like a swarm of insects about to bear down on us.
