Photos taken on your cycle.

Took this from my camera phone whilst struggling up a hill today near Tinahely. Surprised it came out so clear. The ideal would have been to stop and snap. Great day for a cycle.

I got this one a few weeks back just as I was starting out.

Couldn't take any today. Was too showery to be taking the phone out of its waterproof cover (sandwich bag).

Excuse the ugly barrier! :-P

Quality photos guys, looks like it was a gorgeous day out. I can only offer this, taken last June on the Military Road (Dublin/Wicklow), heading back to Stocking Lane.


Its title is 'cycling in the clouds'.

Got this one on a detour into carton house on my way back from Maynooth http://www.flickr.com/photos/twowheelsnoengine/5489172033/ :P

I spent a beautiful day cycling around Dingle last May, my favourite shot from the day is probably this one:

(By the way, if anyone can tell me how to put a photo in here directly from flickr that would be great!)

Looks like you had a nice trip last summer:)

I don't know if a photographer can become a cyclist but I'm starting to believe that a cyclist can become a photographer... Here's another one http://www.flickr.com/photos/twowheelsnoengine/5527219600/ with some hale stone on the way back to Dublin

A bit of RD and chain trouble today brought a halt to my cycle after about 20 km. Whilst awaiting the rescue team I amused myself by observing a ladybird on my saddle. As shown in the picture it seemed to have an attraction to the red stitching. I assume (wrongly?) that ladybirds are colour blind and therefore it wasn't mistaking the stitching for a mate. Any entomologists on here care to enlighten me as to the reason for its behaviour?

Wrap image tags without any attributes around the url of the photo.

Great shots!

@monkeyslayer - what camera were you using for those pics?
Really, really nice.

Here are some photos from my ride today, from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh to Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, Northern India (114km.) It was a pleasant bearable 36C after rain last night (it has been in the 40s for the last few weeks.) Nepal by the end of the week, hopefully will get a bit colder up in the hills.

That first one looks like a field in North County Dublin and the third one is definitely Dollymount!:)

You'd feel warm just looking at them.

Thanks man, I'm using a Sony nex5 with a 16mm lens. I don't bring it out on spins too often as its bulky even for a compact dlsr and I tend to stop too much when I have it with me! Strap the camera bag on to either myself or the bike every once in a while tho

Is that the "sweep panorama" feature that they had on the ads? Comes out really well, no "warping" noticeable (to photo noob like myself anyway)

monkeyslayer

Yup yup, takes a little bit of practice but its great effect to have. I mostly bought it for its hd video capabilities and I could use my nikon lenses with it too. Fairly happy with it, really neat and powerfull little camera

Where do ye find these beautiful places:( I can't remember ever seeing a lonely road like that by the coast in cork:(

Wow, some of those photos are incredible! I feel sorry for the people on exercise bikes in the gym, all they get is the view of someone else's sweaty backside!


I took this one in Castlegregory back in May.

This sign was at the very top of Conor Pass. I couldn't help but grin when I saw it!:D

That statement is the reason why I bought an actual bike! Why sit in air conditioning when you can be outside!

Beautiful Ballyhoura back in January















That last photo is of one of my six falls from that outing.

Oldies but fond memories, Innsbruck, Austria from the south side, give or take over 1000m up, would recommend to all for cycling

Wicklow, from atop Kippure a few weeks ago:



View past the reservoir in North County Dub... nah it's about 2/3 the way up the Glandon



This is one of the main reasons I love cycling. Sure it's fun and gets me fit, but the weather and the scenery are a huge draw.

john__long

We should definitely recommend that this thread gets stickied and carried on! Some great photos so far!

Same excuse as before. Just after Pine Forest.



Somewhere near Muckish again in Donegal. My apologies for the darkness of the pics again, but it was early morning.

I thought west Cork was supposed to be gorgeous. Last time I was there as a child, so I don't really remember.


@Biopace. You have some lovely shots there. Would make a great advertisement for cycling in Ireland.

Col du Soulor this afternoon. 28c in the shade. As the ski station has closed and the summer season has not yet started, there were no cars at all today, just a couple of dozen cyclists.

3km from the summit.


It is a 21km climb at 5%, but the last 7km average 7.8%


At the summit looking west towards Col d'Aubisque, the Tour will be along here on 15th July.

Some magical photos guys. Why did it take so long for this thread to be started?
