We have thousands of cycling photos from trips, around where we've lived, but not many of both of us together in bike gear or cycling together. 'Cause we're usually we're taking pics of each other when cycling. The red heart bike bell (he got from Belgium at cycling conference) is close to both our hearts. Unintentional corniness.
So here it is: a preview of our 2009 Christmas photo card for our families far away. Taken actually outdoors last night at a Bike to Work Week commuter station. There was a fun, makeshift photo booth with a pro photographer & his equipment for free photos, coffee, snacks, music and info.
Photos are loaded onto Flickr for all participants. It was great fun.
Hope you have some portrait, clear cycling photos to share also. They really are rare, valuable opportunities.

That's wonderful! I might adopt that idea. I'm lucky to have a partner who shares my enthusiasm for cycling, too.

Wonderful idea! We, too, do not have many photos of the two of us in cycling gear. Funny though, my mom asked for a photo of the two of us for Christmas this year. Her instructions: "NOT on your bikes!"

Obviously, your mom views both of you as a cycling-addicted couple!

Allezgirl, it's wonderful to have a pic with your SO on a mountain top. A location to "aspire" for a pic together.
Stacysue, a pic with another cycling -happy family member is always memorable. Always. My brother-in-law's cherished photo of his now-dead brother (who died from throat cancer at 40) is a group cycling photo with him and his brother on bikes on a group bike trip.Last edited by shootingstar; 11-06-2009 at 08:36 AM.
