Easy Rider and Trike

[John R Smith]

This is the last frame from the Lanlivery Rally. It probably will amuse you if you live in the US of A - here are the Cornish pretending to be Americans . . . one hell of a trike, though.

No need to apologise; the Germans who come to Mallorca with bikes all look the same, too. It's a cult thing. I wonder how the Americans do it; probably with bowler hats and pinstripes. The fringes are flight signifiers, for effect and not aerodynamic use; they indicate the bike is actually in motion. I think one of LuLa's honchos can verify this if pressed.

The wonder, of course, is how the hats stay on; a ribbon under the chin looks soooo unmanly.

EDIT: screws! Never thought of that!

Yup, Rob.  That's exactly what people wear when they go to the local sports bar to watch the Sunday football matches.

Impressive composition, IMHO.

Surprisingly to me, I like this.  There's an honesty in the interaction between the two men that's attractive and the image captures that.  As an aside, I love the B&W conversions I see from the community in general.  Very sensitive work, this one included.

I never realised before now that US 'sports' bars and Soho wine bars have similar customers!
