MTB - Look away if you dont like bikes...

[Steve U]

I like the snowy bike, is it going home without you?


Great shots, things do look like they could get a bit "slippy"

Cheers Steve


I just couldnt pedal any further so got off, but the bike stayed upright, so i had to take a shot, I actually learnt a lot about WB and the need to over expose in the snow, the shots were dreadful, took a bit of post processing to get them as good as they are, (which isnt very good)....live and learn.


As for the Slippy sign, shame people cant take responsibility for their own actions any more, at least we have no win no fee lawyers........

Nice set! Did you get someone else to take the pics of you, or did you use a timer or remote release?


Makes me anxious to get home and on my bike again!

The last one of me was an event photographer, but the others I set up and got one of my mates to hold the shutter down


I know what you mean, the spring has sprung and i need to shake off the winter calories, I went out today and was puffing a bit too much.

Great shots Ade!


I especially love the one of the bike on the trail in the snow.


I guess it

My last bike was a Giant Athem II blue and silver. Best bike I

Hey Rich, i do a lot of night riding, and with the right lights it's arguably more fun than in the day, you do need to invest in the right lights though, get one of these and you'll be fine...it's 1800 lumens, I have this and a helmet light, not cheap, but amazing!!!!


They would work for skiing too

Thanks for the link on the lights.


It does seem like a lot of fun. I think we just picked a trail that was twisty, single-track, so it's hard to see that far ahead of the trail even in daylight. All I know is that we were so stoked to go, we each spent about $300 dollars on lights, then snuck into the county park (like I mentioned we actually had to climb a fence and pass our bikes over the fence to do this, and it was really tough to go fast. It was definitely kinda freaky though in a good way!


Perhaps I should pick a beginner trail next time! [:$]


We also tried going in the snow once, my friend had spikes on his tires and I didn't, well needless to say that was a total disaster too, the snow was too deep and crusty for both of us, so we couldn't even pedal, so it was another bust.


That's it, from now on I'm sticking to the paved bike paths.


Nice bike babes!

Nice shots! Mountain biker here as well


Are you close enough to Fort William to hit the World Cup at all? Dalby Forest in UK looked great last year as well.
