It is getting warmer in certain parts of the world and more people are getting out and riding their bikes. Whether for transportation, exercise or recreation, bikes are found all over the world.
Take a photo of any kind of bike - a kid's bike,
or unicycle - as long as it would be powered by muscle.
jawshoewhah: A motorcycle isn't powered by Muscle. ( 5 years and 3512 days ago )
swanze: ditto that jawshoewhah. Has the word 'motor' built right in. It also says unicycle but bicycle is 2 wheeled. Sounds fun but needs some clarity or it will be full of dunebuggies, hanggliders... all sorts of things. ( 5 years and 3511 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Not to mention, the thumbnail to this contest is a motorcycle. You seriously overlooked a couple details posting this contest. ( 5 years and 3511 days ago )
UncleJimmy: I'll wait for clarification to enter this one...I hate having entries removed...which happens more often than I'd like to admit! ( 5 years and 3511 days ago )
k5683: I don't know because I didn't put that last part in there about "powered by muscle" I DO KNOW that my motorcycle uses my muscle but not to power it ( 5 years and 3511 days ago )
Contest Moderator: ok, clarification is as follows: NO ENGINES!!........anything that qualifies as a cycle, be it one wheeled or two......so unicycles, bicycles, pennyfarthings, velocipedes........as long as it takes muscle to power it, it is on topic! ( 5 years and 3511 days ago )
locksmagic: I was just arguing with someone today that photographers are not dorks, then I get on here and see that someone used the words "pennyfarthing and velocipedes" in an everyday sentance! ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
k5683: "sentance" was that on purpose??? ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
Contest Moderator: so what is your point.......! ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
UncleJimmy: ROFL @ locksmagic!!! Dude, You freakin' rock! ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
locksmagic: Damn no that wasn't on purpose ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
locksmagic: My point? Is that a serious question?! At least tell me you had to look it up and that you didn't actually know it off the top of your head ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
Contest Moderator: you talking about penny farthings and velocipedes?..........no, I did not have to look it up.....lol......I remember them from the books and stuff I was forced to read at school......lol ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
locksmagic: Oh sure try and "back pedal" now, make it seem like you were forced to remember these words And then you hide behind the moderator tag so you can hide you dorkiness lol, it's ok I would too ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
locksmagic: Hey what about those bikes that you have to pedal to get started but then an electric motor kicks in and keeps it cruising? ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
Contest Moderator: hahaha.........so you have to guess which one of us is old enough to have had to read this stuff............lol.....and electric bikes.....I don't think so...... ( 5 years and 3510 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Those are called Mo-peds Lochs, and I think they qualify because they have moth optional man power and cycle power. ( 5 years and 3508 days ago )
Contest Moderator: the mods have decided they do not qualify.....! ( 5 years and 3508 days ago )
locksmagic: Well since these are old English words it can't be Lodd (too young), Ade (no sense of humor) , or serious (no self respecting blueblooded American would use the word pennyfarthing) so that leaves... mellanieb! Am I right? ( 5 years and 3507 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Well good because i wan't going to take a picture of one anyways!! :P ( 5 years and 3507 days ago )
kyricom: Mo-peds have a "moth" option? How many moths does it take to run one? ( 5 years and 3507 days ago )
jawshoewhah: moth=both. You're never out of wise cracks, are ya Kyricom ( 5 years and 3505 days ago )
Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
Sometimes I feel like the world's biggest moron! I've been racking my brain for about 15 min. trying to figure out what the heck a bicycle has to do with Paul Mellon, then I actually decided to read the inscription in the stone! Sigh... Very nice capture though!!!
Generally not a fan of the 'cute' entries, I feel people end up voting them high because of the cute factor rather than the actual photo. In this case however I think it is composed very well, taken very well and it tells a story. GL Author, great shot.
Love this! Not only is it a good shot but the entire idea is top notch! I can honestly say I was surprised when I saw who did this! You've come a long way in a short time Author
nice capture............
Fantastic shot.
