Dog on a bicycle

Well we all know man’s best friend is a dog, but who is dog’s best friend. Turns out is a man with a bicycle and a bit of imagination. In this case a bicycle with a platform for the dog.

Man on a bicycle

I watched in horror as this man on a bicycle, casually crossed a major city intersection on a red light. Sydney drivers are quite careful but this is asking for trouble. I know it is only midday but the sun comes on an acute angle and many drivers would have difficulty seeing him against the sunlight.

Select your bicycle

A bit of visual humour in this photograph of two women leading very small bicycles. No, there were no kids in front of them or behind them. So ladies, it does help to select a bicycle that is of a suitable size for your body size. Then again, I’d love to see you ride them. Just warn me before you do as I may have trouble laughing and keeping my hands steady for a photograph at the same time.

Lorry - Bicycle Cabbie MG_6505

Looks like the tourist business is bit slow at the moment. Lorry, a bicycle cabbie was standing, waiting for a customer for well over an hour. I took a photograph of him while he was chatting to someone over the phone.

Dutch Girl with a Bicycle

I have not taken many people photographs while in Holland. However, I could not resist to take some. Here is a simple photograph of a tall, attractive girl with her bicycle. I think there are more bicycles in Amsterdam than people. It also seems the older looking bike the better or cooler. I have processed this photograph to give it some age (60’s colours) as to match the bike’s age.

Worried Girl in a Brussel’s Street 101_8099

As you walk through the streets of Brussels, especially the old town you may be forgiven for thinking you are a part of some fairy tale. Richly decorated building capture the attention of tourists. And if you manage to take your eyes of them then your other senses are treated to some fantasies. For example 250 types of beer available from a local bottle shop. And if you have a sweet tooth than a waffle with strawberries and cream is always just around the corner. But as you can see from this photograph of a worried girl not everything is rosy in Brussels. We saw a lot of street kids, homeless and gypsies around the town sleeping in passages and begging wherever they could. I hope whatever this girl’s worries are they can be overcome.

Parisian Cool - Woman on a bicycle 101_7757

To a European there is probably nothing special in this capture of a woman riding her bicycle through streets of Paris. However, here in Australia unless it is a mountain or race bike you never see the “normal” old fashioned bicycle used as every day transport.
