The challenge for this week is to take a picture of your bike under water.
No need to take it literally and drop your bike in to the sea, you just need to get at least part of your bike below the surface of a significant volume of water.
It could be a waterfall, a dam or a pair of lock gates, an overhead pipe, a water tower or an aqueduct. Use your imagination.

River is a bit high

Argh - so many potential opportunities at various water treatment works and reservoirs for me, but all likely to result in some form of disciplinary action too
The tunnel underneath an open reservoir would have been good.
Will have to find something else then...

RocketDog, would you like to explain this that I found on your Flickr page ?
This photo was taken on January 23, 2010 using a Canon Digital IXUS 110 IS.

if were going to be piccy then Graham, your bike isn't actually under water is it?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes it is.
Not the water in the River Severn, the water in the pipeline on the bridge.
This involved building a 73 mile long aqueduct down which the water travels at less than 2 miles per hour, taking one and a half days to get to Birmingham.

Hmmm, you've got me there, although I did ride under the bridge immediately after taking the photo.
Two on the way to work today. Locks on the Worcestershire Canal.

Which was the point I was trying to make, as I know about the aqueduct
Posted 1 year ago # -
Oh, OK, I get you now.
However, if I can outpedant you, the bike is below the water in the picture, even if it's not directly under the water in real life. Posted 1 year ago # -

My bike under a 'significant amount of water' somewhere deep inside Cornwall yesterday...
Posted 1 year ago # -
Another one that's not really under water, although it would have been if I'd taken it yesterday.
My commute along the River Severn. I had to stop and clear flood debris off the path in a couple of places.
The twigs and weeds tangled up in the gate show where the water was last night when I took the one by the flood barrier. The river has dropped over 2m in less than 24 hours.
Picture 070 by Vegan Graham, on FlickrAny suggestions for next week's challenge ?
I'd like to do one that links up with this thread somehow.
http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/interesting-unknown-engineering-landmarks-in-the-uk
Victorian Engineering ? Bridges, tunnels, railways etc.
Public Works ? Pumping stations, water works, power stations.
War relics ? Pill boxes, Iron Age hill forts, ROC bunkers.
Or maybe something completely different ?Posted 1 year ago # -
Friday morning commute.....

P20's at it as well now.
This photo was taken on May 12, 2002 using a Canon Digital IXUS v.
There are rules to this challenge.
Proper rules as well, not like red traffic lights where you can choose whether you want to obey them or not.Posted 1 year ago # -
A couple of ideas for a photo challenge.....
Find a fellow biker, someone that you dont know of course....and get a photo taken with them...
Or as above but with a complete stranger and a non biker ?
Or dare I say it.....get a photo taken with a 'Rambler'

I've been waiting to post something on these threads for sometime but hadn't found myself able to do so until today
Went out for a ride locally today with a few mates & we found some water to take pics in/with/under
My bike in the stream
Just to confirm the wheel was in/under the water
Yours truly under the water

Not exactly under water, but on the end of a pier so effectively 'at sea'.
