I’m taking my camera to work with me tomorrow in order to take pictures of my cycle route…
good plan, here is a pic of my bike and a few of where i was working the other day…
note the wing mirror…seemed silly at first, but i couldn’t do wothout it now…
work pics to follow…
glorious…
Very nice! You’ve inspired me to take my camera with me to the supermarket later and take some shots of Amsterdam as well…
I worked on an estate maintaining the grounds before. Its great in the summer although i was alot younger then and would have prefered to be in front of my PC. Now its the other way round.
Nice pics 8)
Seeing as we are doing bike pics, here is one I took yesterday…..
..and here is a little pic I took this morning whilst strolling home from a party.
Both taken on a phone camera, so excuse the quality.
Nice bikes gents, by the way!
well, dr bunsen, i have to say that may be the most dutch bike i have ever seen. you and your bloody lack of hills. i notice everyone else is a mountain bike fan, i wish i had one sometimes when im near woods, but for speedy transport, you cant beat a tourer…
You’re right about not being used to hills, last time I was on a montain bike (in Mexico) I came off it at speed going down one of those…
haven’t got any pictures of journey to work (yet) as I don’t like early starts to end up rushing to work and never have time to take photos. Might try and get some this week though.
currently riding a new model Raleigh hybrid (combination of tourer and mountain bike features) which was actually provided by my employer…
apologies for quality, this pic is also from a camera phone.

do you use panniers? i had mine (along with bike) nicked a while back and havent replaced them since…juts convinced my girl to get some for work. once you use them, you realise what a hassle backpacks are.
also is the seat-post susspension any good gl? seems like there should be a reason why you dont see em that often. loss of torque?
yep, got a set of altura panniers and also the combined “urban road warrior” laptop/office bag with the internal padded compartment for the laptop and the quick release kit hidden behind a zipped panel which I use for work..
it seems to be a “feature” Raleigh delivered on their new models of hybrids..
Not really noticed any loss of power (although not planning on winning any races on this bike TBH!) – and its the first time I have had any sort of suspension on a bike!
It smooths out some of the ropier bits of road where the asphalt is on the way out; but not by a great deal.
altura seem to be good value for money without being too cheap…its what my girlfreind got. my dads got some dope waterproof roll tops, which i cant find or i’d post em theyre so smart. my dads never driven in his life, so he has a sick custom tourer. you get on that and you realise what “efficient” really means.
