Harrier Bicycle – A real British classic. At least I think it is a British classic, I couldn’t even find any info on t’intenet it is that old. There is a Harrier motorcycle company. Many bicycle manufacturers later developed into bicycle manufacturers.

Different Places to Cycle

A narrow residential road in Oxford with traffic calming measures, gets narrower further up.

Wide enough for three cars (two parked) in theory slows cars down. Can be a tight squeeze at times.

A much nicer place to cycle – along the Thames cycle path.

Parking Wardens in Oxford

Continuing the No Cycling theme. Sorry mate, you can’t park it here. That will be £60 please.

Lots of double yellow lines under the Bridge of Sighs.

Now that’s even better than my mum’s old Mini Cooper

What a way to get to school.

BTW: I wonder why people don’t like traffic wardens. I think they do a great job.

Nice hat.

Stagecoach Buses running on electric hybrid power now. Still don’t like so many buses.

Cycling Leeds

cycling

A disappointing thing about returning to Leeds, is the lack of cyclists. Living in Oxford you get used to seeing hundreds of cyclists. But, for cities in the UK, Oxford is probably one of the exceptions rather than the rule. I’m sure there are many reasons behind this.

It was good to see they have tried with these cycle lanes, I just wish I had been able to take a photo of a cyclist using them (I was only there for a couple of minutes.)
cycling

On other roads, I noted there were no cycle paths painted on the road. I’m never entirely convinced of the benefit of painting cycle lanes on roads. But, as a cyclist I tend to like them, as it acts as a reminder to motorists that there can be cyclists on the road too. I’ve got to say some of the roads with 3 or 4 lanes in centre of town hardly looked appealing to cyclists.

Each to their own.

There are obviously some determined cyclists in Leeds, there are quite a lot of parked bikes around the station and in other locations.

Taking Photos of Cycling

cycling title=

The first thing with taking photos of cyclists. It’s much easier to take photos than it is to edit, upload and put into blog post.

Usually, I make use of Flickr uploader. But, if you want better photos, I find it quicker to do a bit of photoshop than to change all settings on camera. But, it does become time consuming.

The real difference to taking good cycling photos is to get  a camera with reasonable shutter speed. On compact cameras it is just hard to get this. I do have a Panasonic compact I used for a while, but it just doesn’t have a quick enough shutter speed.

With ordinary shooting mode (above), the cyclist moving at around 5mph is a bit blurred. The other photos are taken in ‘sports’ mode. With the Canon 500D this takes advantage of its fast shutter speed.

The cross roads. Different people, different directions.
