Not sure the bike will fit, however saying that... I couldn't anyway.

Pit stop it dirty Donald's to replenish some lost calories burning 37 miles in the last 48 hours.

Nice shot Dan, something different in a Mac's . Have I missed something? Are you on a charity ride

 

[Dave Green]

The one thing McDonalds isn't is dirty. A mate of mine who's an Environmental Health Officer reckons catching them for something is the Holy Grail lol

Nice interesting pic - and a nice owd steed

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Haha!
@Julian de'Courcy no charity ride... Just pleasure

@Dave Green . McDonalds are very clean, hygiene wise. You see a polices of some sort in place.... Imagine if they were caught for being poorly hygienic?! News press or what. Lol.
By saying dirty I mean the food, compare to my super health foods, dirty D's certainly let's you know you've have one. Great for a boost of calories though.

Just noticed Dan, is your night flier a fixy? No wonder you spend a lot of time on yer A***

Oh no that was the sherbet wasn't it

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Hahaa!!
It has nothing to do with the sherbet!

The Dutchie is a fixi alright. Well, one gear only anyway. To break, I have to pedal backwards to engage the break clutch......
I blame the bike for my falls... Not the sherbet

I must get bendie out annd give her a service and sort some lights out then test out the 'you forget how to ride a bike' theory. Bendie? Yes she's a foldie photos to come me thinks

 

[Pete Askew]

I can't quite work out why (apart from it being a nice photo) but I really like this shot Dan. Maybe it's the lack of people, the incongruity of a bike in an 'eatery', not sure. But it makes you want to explore the image. Super stuff.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Pete.... They didn't even batter an eyelid over the fact that I bought a bike in......

 

[Pete Askew]

Battered eyelids. They put real meat in these days?!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Nice shot Dan. I haven't been in a Mickey D's for a very long time...but I do get that twinge of desire to partake.

 

[Pete Askew]

Resist Glenn, resist!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Agree with Pete - very appealing shot, it has a slight Twilight Zone feel I think - so many questions

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks all

Bonnie fotie, Dan. Delightful incongruity!

That saddle doesn't look very comfy, though. On the other hand, that low top tube undoubtedly makes for ladylike mounting with your skirt on.

Dans often been known for a knicker flash when mounting his trusty night flier

 

[Pete Askew]

But all in the best possible taste!

 

[Dave Young]

37 miles on that bone rattler!

No wonder you needed to ride it to the counter

I agree. I really like this image, but nothing jumps out from a composition standpoint as to why. I think the old bike in an obviously new fast food place, the perspective is nice with the expanse of floor in the lower left quadrant and I love the B&W tonality. It has that LF B&W look with a long tonal scale, yet contrast doesn't appear low. There is also something about the light on the bike that is old school looking as well.

@Keith Hollister @Dan Cattermole will be weeping you calling his night flier an old bike
