Cycling-cycle

In case that I haven't told you before,
I always considered bicycles as living creatures...
When I see them waiting for their master I almost feel their feelings.
Am I the only one who has this symptom?
Is it serious Doc?

I enjoyed this gallery very much. It is so very different from mine: http://www.pbase.com/bikes_and_bits. I added this gallery to my topic 'transportation', because your not the only one who has this symptom...

Wondeful pics, I love the bw ones.
A bike is a 'simple thing', the bw ones show its simplicity even better.

Dear Antonis, it's always a pleasure viewing your work. Your portfolio Cycling Cycle although is one of your best because it combines your emotions with your photographic skills in a exceptional way. Keep (walking)photographing.
Regards.

a beautiful gallery, Antonis. it's pictures like these that make me glad that photography exists. it really opens our eyes to the smaller details in the world that we'd otherwise look straight past. v.

Incredibly captivating - and inspiring - gallery! Thank you for sharing :-)
Mark Rutter PM reply 27-Mar-2006 21:21
A very fine collection. I think your bikes have rather more character than the ubiquitous cheap "mountain" bikes we have here.
Patrick Bold PM reply 21-Mar-2006 09:15
Excellent gallery, powerful images! Voted. I share you fascination of bicycles, see my gallery http://www.pbase.com/aztec36/zanzibar_bicycles

A beautiful gallery, I must pay more attention to my bike who is waiting in the shed.
Guest PM reply 18-Mar-2006 15:42
You should go to Amsterdam and see the "City of Forgotten Bicycles" as I call the train station there. There is literally a massive multi-level garage FULL of bicycles in every state of repair. And all over the city there are remarkably decorated bikes which is the habit of the locals to make their bike so obvious as to deter theives.
Also, there is a specific bridge called (in English of course) "The Bike Bridge" where it is commonly known one can go to buy stolen bikes from theives. Last time I was there, when I happened by I noticed dozens of policeman on the prowl however, so maybe this spot has relocated, but I'm SURE the practice continues.
Lastly, this is a lovely theme for a gallery with poignant images. Thanks for posting. GMV

Great idea ! I like cycling, I have understood recently my bicycles are my friends. So, as for any other friends, I begin from time to time to take portrait of them. Below some examples :

Bye !

Bravo, keep them coming.

I agree all the way with Chris, your photography here is giving sentimental and amotional values to a subject which is made by steel-million votes

I COMPLETELY agree that bicycles are living creatures. I have two and they constantly fight for my attention. I hate hurting their feelings by choosing one over the other for a ride.

This is a terrific gallery!

I love how you see things Antonis. I wish I could acquire a pair of eyes like yours.

One of the best (almost) b&w projects in Pbase.

Great idea Antonis.
Marisa D.L. PM reply 11-Jan-2006 18:46
What could I say ? Nobody can understand you better than me. Bicycles are like characters for me, I have dedicated a gallery to them too and I keep on adding new “characters” to the story.
But I’m not here to promote anything.
I adore this gallery of yours, there is your trade mark, your style and it’s nearly possible to hear your bicycles speaking with Greek accent!
What a nice thing is that you are back with your beautiful images.
