I'm not an amateur anything here. I don't know photography techniques and I don't know about 'lights and shadows'. I just know that flash photography is a friend to no one.

I am a happy-go-lucky type that carries around some form of point and shoot digital camera (or iPhone) and like to see what sort of mess results from my clicking.

I dig bikes, bike culture and can not abide any snobbery in it. I don't care what bike you have or what you wear. Whether your ride is 13 pounds or 50, loving the ride is what it's all about. Be happy, get out and ride!
