What is the thing you see most on your rides?

[limewave]

Mostly the backsides of the riders in front of me.

[DirtDiva]

Concrete, asphalt, cars, buses, taxis, bricks, traffic lights...

Wish I saw more in the way of trees and leaves and dirt and stuff, but even when I do, I've got to go through all of the above to get there.

Hi tlkiwi - am I right in thinking you're based in London. If so , do you ever check out www.londoncyclesport.com. You might be able to hook up with some other London riders and find some greener routes to ride.

Things I see on a ride... rabbits and pheasants.

crazycanuck : Umm would you believe mainly trains, trees and pelicans.
Wow - pelicans!Cool!

( For all those UK riders who'd like to see pelicans on their ride check out St. James Park duck pond, London! )

Wooly worms!!! There are everywhere right now and I weave around like a drunk trying not to squish any of them.

Oh and our local weather forecaster does the annual "wooly worm forecast" which predicts the severity of our winter based on the color of the fuzz on the woolys...she's pretty darn accurate too!

I'm with limewave. I see the tushies of everyone passing me. Oh, and the most oft heard phrase... "On your left."

Trees, cows, and dogs. I'm an animal lover so I always say hello to the furry animals!

Excellent!! On my last ride I stopped next to a small farm and got to watch ostriches, pot bellied pigs, and something that looked like mini-goats, it was great fun!

[limewave]

I ride by a llama farm quite often.

And, how can I forget the beautiful beaches and sunsets along lake Michigan.

what tlkiwi sees "Concrete, asphalt, cars, buses, taxis, bricks, traffic lights..." broken glass....but it's all good.

Anyone ever see random single shoes lying in the road or at the kerbside?

I often wonder a) where they've come from and b) how on earth did the person wearing them not notice they'd lost a shoe!! I know I have some dizzy days, but I'm sure I'd wake up if I was walking along and suddenly found one of my shoe was missing.

Great thread!

I see horses, dogs (!), hawks, blue herons, buzzards (!!), turtles, men fishing from bridges, the backside of my SO, squished little furry things (eewwww)...sometimes just miles and miles of peanut, cotton and corn fields.
