There are times when I'm so happy during a ride that I want a way to hang onto the freedom, the fitness, and the joy of sailing past the world on my bike. I would love to have a video or pictures that I could always look at and recall my days on the roads.
Any ideas? -- Barb
For my SO's birthday, I wanted to give him something really special. I kidnapped his bike for the day and got a professional photographer to take some pics of it for me. And the photographer, not a cyclist, tried. But it just looked like pics of a bike. So I waited until the sun was right, hung a black sheet on my front room wall, and took some pics myself. They came out GREAT (my avatar photo is one...hard to see, but the stars go along with the "cosmic" tires). I did four in black and white, and my SO was moved to tears by it.
For him, his bike IS his days on the road.
