ADRENALINE
(An early tribute to Secretatlantis and her wonderful Bikes)
Two wheels, no noise! Ultralight materials, custom made parts, progressive design, geometry variations - high end cycling is great, but this is my trustworthy everyday companion for the last four years. I was busy almost the whole day so I took the opportunity. Triptych - taken with a small (non waterproof) compact. Put on your headphones and press play: Pink Floyd, "Bike"

I thought this was SecretAtlantis's daily image when I first opened it up! So interesting in so many ways! I love the triptych nature of it, the vantage point and the motion blur of the asphalt. Terrific shot!

Love the triptych feeling in this. Very effective to heighten the Technology feeling. The blur on the road is quite scarily unnerving! Great job.

Oh, awesome pic.. I have no idea how you took this pic.. hand held up to your eye, camera strapped around your head... it scares me to think about it, but the result is awesome!

The way you split this photo into three really made it pop! Fantastic!

Nce effect. It works well. I like the perspective too.

I love the variety of techniques and technology you are using. A very classy challenge.

Wow I like this one, you have done something totally unexpected.

It is both disarming and unsettling. The point of view is one expected of a cyclist (but not for a photographer!) and yet the combination of the three creates an alarming unevenness for the cyclist while a soothing triptych for the photographer. What a great photo! I had come up with four other bike songs before seeing your suggestion which is the most appropriate as it brings a quirky factor!

I am sooo flattered. So you took this while riding it? Amazing! Given the fact that one of my secret subchallenges is to pretend my 50-150 is a fixed 100 I could never take a shot like this, not with me riding the bike.
It's a very cool shot and your bike is so different from my everyday down to earth transporter.
By the way I always have Bicycle Race in my head when searching for the model of the day.
