I spend quite a lot of time looking through travel photographs taken by cyclists—and you’d be amazed at how many breathtaking landscapes include a bicycle in their composition.
We often ride alone, either by choice or by necessity, but we hardly ever feel alone. We’re in constant interaction with our bicycle—braking, shifting, listening, spinning, leaning—continualy realigning at our points of contact to acheive a more stable, balanced whole.
So when taking out the camera for posterity it’s only natural to invite our steed into the frame, as one would any other friend. And after the click of the shutter, if it could, I’m sure the bike would insist on trading places.
