[dazza]

Next challenge Your bike by a flowering laburnam tree.   I am not obsessed with yellow. :b

[midden]

Wtf does one of them look like

[hightower]

I know what they look like, but can't ever recall seeing one locally.

[mickvp]

to save anyone else googling it (like I just have) - its one of the ones with these bits on:




god knows if there is one of those near me.

[dazza]

A yellow one?  :lol

[fazersharp]

Wait a mo isnt the idea to get people out on their bikes and isnt that picture in fizzys front garden !

[red98]

Fizzy.....you being naughty.........come on now your not aloud to cheat, youll be upsetting uncle nick...... :lol

[risticuss]

OK... so if the laburnum stands how about a non yellow forklift. Technically whilst sat at work, though I did choose to ride in even though I was offered a lift as it was raining. Bit cheeky I know 




What d'ya say?

[hightower]

You must be a Photoshop wizard! Or is that the new "remove rain" filter in Photoshop BS7?  :rollin

[dazza]

Next? Something yellowish tho keep dazza happy lol

:lol

[risticuss]

It was a couple of hours later  :rolleyes


OK, doing my bit for charity... Your bike next to an ancient tree/wood

You can find your closest (or not so closest) one at


http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/disc...ractivemap  zoom in to your local area and they should appear all over the place. Amazing what you miss sometimes.


Now... I want you guys to really try with this one, I know it might seem boring, no yellow Ferraris, Cafes, or Ice Cream Vans, but at least you'll be out in nature......  :b


(This is the one the wife suggested)

[dazza]

OK, so this is tree no.6491 on the B2163 in the village of Tunstall in Kent. It's a common yew tree and there are no plaques on it so you're just have to take my word. It could of course just be a random tree and I'm a cheating bastard. I'll let you decide  Tree 6491
Status: Ancient tree
Access: Public - open access (e.g. public park)
Species: Common Yew
Girth: 7.82
Will post up pics separately from my phone.

:lol Next challenge Your bike by a flowering wisteria

[HarryHornby]

Surely we must be able to get OUR bikes next to a wisteria during tomorrows LOFO ride out 

[nick crisp]

This one was a beauty:



Next challenge: Your bike in front of a stained-glass window

[dickturpin]

does that mean the bike has to be in a church?

[nick crisp]

does that mean the bike has to be in a church?

Idea came whilst riding back from that last shot - I passed a church where I would have been able to park on the road and get the shot 

House window is fine    Not your own house though (I'll be watching you.... :eek )  :lol

[risticuss]

Techically more than two, but hopefully you'll be lenient.

[risticuss]

Your bike with a garden gnome, that is not owned by you.
Extra kudos if it's in an unusual pose, and sat on your bike.
