Walking along the path and I saw a lone bicycle wheel lying on the 'No Cycling" sign. How could I not photograph it ?
I'd love to know why it had been left there.

A snatched sketch during a windy tea-break at Lough Neagh on our 75 mile ride today from Belfast to Moy...
The early morning route out of Belfast (along the Lagan) was a sparkling delight - complete with kingfisher!
The Western Cycle building came down this week in order to make way for the Valley Line West LRT expansion. The iconic store and its sign stood on 124 Street for 80 years. I shot this photo in August 2019.
The sign was salvaged for the Edmonton neon sign museum.

The five-wheeled cycle… could you image having this many stabilisers on your bike? The Post Office trialled the “Hen and Chicks” pentacycle for delivering mail in 1882.
Although postal workers had used bicycles for years, a new parcel delivery service meant staff needed to carry much bulkier loads. It also saw their job title changed from letter carriers to postmen for the first time.
The pentacycle had huge baskets and five wheels, and looked like a lot of fun to ride. However, its popularity never extended beyond the town of Horsham, in West Sussex, where its inventor lived!
The pentacycle is one display in The Postal Museum, London.
I wanted to capture the cyclers that kept on going. This was taken by the Schelde in Branst, a popular place for cyclers.

In the woods near the Dutch town of Schoonoord in Drenthe lies one of the most famous dolmens (Dutch: Hunebed) in the Netherlands. It is nicknamed 'the Papeless Church' (Dutch: De Papeloze Kerk).
In Drenthe there are many folk tales about this dolmen. In the 16th century there would have been talks of the famous protestant preacher Menso Alting at this location; he would have used the dolmen as a kind of pulpit.
This hunebed is nicknamed 'the Papeless Church'. In the 16th century, when Protestants in the Netherlands were still being prosecuted, so-called hedge-talks (illegal church services) of Protestants were held here. One would start calling the dolmen at the 'Papeless Church', because of course no 'papen' (Catholic priests) spoke in these services. The Protestant preachers would have used the dolmen as a kind of pulpit.
Read more about the history of the dolmens or megaliths at How they built a dolmen (Hunebed).
This is what we saw during our Cycling holiday in Drenthe, the Netherlands, where we have cycled through the beautiful landscape.

Happy New Year everyone :)
Ok so this one has taken me some time to build. Collecting all the pieces and constantly tweaking the curves.
I will be honest I am slightly apprehensive about this build. I have put so much effort into it but I am not sure how it will be received. So I really hope you like it.

Just a quick and dirty rendering as it was a while that I posted my last image.
Flowers are from the Frangipani in my garden ;-)
This cycling cap will be 37 years old in July. I bought it from a vendor during RAGBRAI IX in 1981. It's useless as a cap -- the elastic in the band is no longer elastic. Useless as a cap, but still useful for Iron Photographer 259, which includes "something which has outlived its usefulness" as an element.
However, the cap isn't the useless element. The useless element is the silk necktie. I haven't had to wear a tie in a couple of decades.
