So you didn't manage the Superman ~~seat~~ topbox grab?

I overheard an onlookers child ask "Is that Batman?" at least that's what I think I heard, presumably due to my black waterproof overgear... I thought doing a Superman might confuse matters

I did a rather impressive run starting with the coffin, into a nac nac then finishing with the crowd pleasing kiss of death, some kids walking to school gave a cheer. Unfortunately the tripod fell over so you will just have to be happy with this non action picture...

Really like your idea for the next pic too.

A picture with your bike in a Then and Now comparison with a historical urban photograph.

Here it is Wokingham town hall then:

to continue with the historical theme

Next challenge your bike with building that has 17th century years sign

I like the way your bike is in the same place as the horse and cart.

I think that was a brilliant and interesting challenge- it should have its own separate section for everyone to post theirs in

Nope against the rules as the pic has to be taken after the challenge was set ie today and if i did it your way the image data would say taken yesterday, because traveled forward to get the challenge then when back to yesterday where the camera was just befor I went out for a ride
My way I get the challenge today and go back to yesterday WITH the camera from today that still says today's date and take the picture so the picture date on the camera will still of been taken after the challenge was set.
Your way would just be cheating

I think you have got confused in the space/time continuum, or maybe I have. Now what day is it, and where did this extra day in this month come from. Smells like the daleks to me.

Found a crane, in fact found two cranes do I get some bonus?

Do you put into your sat nav "crane"

Nope just strolling around, there is so much construction works in Bracknell

I have the empty case on the bars which I use only if I get lost with my phone. Bike sat navs are too expensive. Also I try not to use sat navs with the car either. This way you actually remember the roads. Sat navs are Satan's work

Next challenge your bike next to stonemasons...

Val · « **Reply #48 on:** 26 February 2016, 09:50:10 am »

Guys are you still there sounds awfully quiet lately

Next challenge your bike next to stonemasons...

risticuss · « **Reply #49 on:** 26 February 2016, 03:31:56 pm »

I might be able to get this one... just hoping I can get out on the bike before Monday, but going by the current activity on this topic, I might just manage it.
