A bike is not just a bike.

Everything, but for Kitchen Sink.


An old picture which was taken at the mid point of the Oosterschelde Dam in Holland,  the dam is about 10km long, and when at the middle of it one can barely see land, because it is so far away.

    It would appear that the gentleman cyclists in the photograph is moving house.  He has decided that he would like to record the event at this mid-point, and so he has taken an old orange box from off his freight carrying bike; and set his 35mm camera up on top of it.   Gone down on his knees to arrange the view through viewfinder, and set it for delayed action.  Having pressed the shutter release button, he had about 10 seconds to get in position  to strike this pose for the perfect picture.

     Note the table, and a rolled up mattress.

     A bike is not just a bike.
