What's it look like around you?

[AndrewClayton]

So I've been riding my bikes quite a lot lately, and taking photos of around my area.

Does anyone else ride or cycle? And what's you're area like?

Here is a photo of my bikes. Ones a Sur-ron that's the everyday bike looks a mess now, I also have a tuned up Talaria getting it back in a few weeks, it's at a shop getting powder coated and a few other pro upgrades. Sur-ron is blue, Talaria is purple powder coated, pics from a few weeks ago.

So that's the bikes I use out the way, here is some photos from my area, all photos are within a 15/20 mins ride from my house.

I don't know anything about bikes, but that seat looks mighty uncomfortable! I'm assuming that type of bike is for cross country riding? Do you ever see wildlife?

The thread isn't just for ebike/motorbike, anyone who cycles too can get some great photos of there area. You don't even have to cycle, walkways or anything can get you to some fantastic places near you.
Yeah the seats aren't comfortable, but the trails I ride on you stand up on the pegs most of the time anyway. These types of bike are made famous by youths in basically all areas taking over the streets, they are meant for off-road though.

Yeah I do see quite a bit of wildlife, I am an avid hunter though, I take my slingshot everywhere with me and I hunt with air rifles so the only photos I have of wildlife I'd imagine most people wouldn't want to see. Obviously I only hunt invasive/pest species of small game and and birds.
I will take 2 roe deer a year too, that used to be depending on the season I would take one buck and one doe, but we are that overrun with deer now there is no off season for bucks or doe's so as long as you have the proper licence you can hunt either whenever you want, hunting is something that is dying off nowadays in the UK, I'm not letting it go though and my kids are getting raised the same way I did, my twin girls (aged 12 tomorrow) are great at fishing and set up, gut and cook there own fish. My youngest is 3 in April and is already showing great interest in this too.

I ride a 1959 ex police velocette LE motorcycle. These were known as Noddy bikes & being water cooled, were said to be so quiet that the Police could ride up to crime scenes unheard. It also has shaft drive & the gear leaver is on the right hand side.

I live on the Northern edge of Norwich. The following is Elm Hill, which I walked past on my way home from the City centre at lunchtime.

My lunch was chips (fries,) as I sat & looked over the market towards the Castle.

I am around a 20 minute car drive from the Norfolk Broads. I am standing at the front of the third Wherry. There are 8 remaining wherries. I have spent at least one day sailing on 7. Plus, I have sailed on a modern Wherry called Newun, that someone built in his back garden.

Wherries were originally black sailed commercial vessels that were designed to carry goods around the Norfolk Broads. Later some were built as luxury yachts. There are only two black sailed commercial vessels remaining Albion & Maud.
