Bike Security

Is this bike security or bike theft?!!

Knole Park – National Trust

We’ve just joined the National Trust so we ventured out yesterday for our first visit: Knole Park, in Sevenoaks.

A great place for a day out, a 17th century house and a nice park (with deer).

Photos on Flickr.

Photos Selected By Getty Images

Nine of my photographs currently on Flickr have been selected by Getty Images for inclusion in their image catalogue.

Eight are currently live and available for purchase/licensing, the ninth is currently in the Getty Images processing queue.

I’m not sure how well these images will sell (if at all) but this may mean that my images get into print or other media use!

[Edit: 17th July 2010] The ninth image has been cleared by the Editors and is now listed!

Chicago and LA – Photos

Thought I’d post some of my old photos to Flickr this morning.  I’ve posted a set from one of my trips out to the US.

I had a good year and a half of US travel, spending a lot of time out in Chicago and the area just outside of LA, to the north.  The best bit was that it was business so it didn’t cost me anything!  Saw some good sights, met some great people and ate some fantastic food.

The photos posted are from one of my earlier trips during 2006.  They were taken on a two week visit: a week in Chicago and then a weekend and a week in LA.

The photo below is of the Chicago river.

All the other photos are on my Flickr account here.

The Brightest of Bikes

This hi-vis bike is the brain-child of Flickr user mandiberg.  He’s covered the bike in Scotchlight 680 retro-reflective vinyl.

In daylight, the bike appears black but at night under the beam of a car’s headlights (or a camera flash as in the photo) the bike shines brightly.

Cyclists are well aware of the need to fit front and rear lights and reflectors, but we are vulnerable from the sides – this clearly helps us in that area!

Treehugger has also covered this bike in their post “Bike is obonoxiously [sic] bright at night“.
