The Joy of Cycling

Old Man smiling

Cycling is an enjoyable activity. I’ve put it as one of the main points in 10 reasons to take up cycling. These photos capture the joy people can get from cycling.

Mike Potts shows his beautiful teeth – after finishing the race. I think this counts as a smile, I’m not quite sure; anyway Mike is probably relieved to have finished the race.

    Great photoes. Makes me want to get out on the bike, but the snow is causing me to be more cautious. And stick to the exercise bike for a while.
    You will see me more often than not, whistling when on the bike, cycling just makes me happy.

    You should come to scotland. I can’t get the smile off my face when I am out cycling. Between the awe inspiring scenery, and adrenalin depleting hills, you just cannot ldo anything but love cycling in scotland.

    That’s a brave guy on the penny farthing… looks like an original, which makes the steel about 120 years old… with a hub light, ready to fall off and get stuck in the spokes… and, to make things even more dangerous, a radial spoked front wheel.. My replica penny has 4 cross spokes and although I have a hub light I never ride with it fitted, it just doesn’t look safe!
