Photos taken on your 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

Dramatic weather last week up in the gap!

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'.

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:)

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?

Really, really nice.

Great idea for a thread. We really live in a gorgeous part of the world

+1, a few more days sun and it would probably one of the best countries to live in from a scenery pov

Yesterday evenings spin to Fenit.

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

One from mountain biking the week before. And two more from last week

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!

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

One the same stretch of road:

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

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.

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.
