Christiaan, Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I'm downtown and have no professional camera, no bike, no car, the PRT isn't running, and i'm in a GIS conference, so my availability to make it at that time isn't likely.

I sure hope someone else can capture you as this seems like a great opportunity. Derek

If anyone has a camera (or one of them fancy phone cameras) today and you really want a road rider, I'll be riding 705 from the Coliseum to the Sheetz over by NIOSH, leaving the Coliseum ~1:40.

LAB will love any of those photos. Wish we had some of cyclists driving their bicycles as vehicles on the road though.

Frank, why not just take 5min in the middle of the REGULAR rides and snap some photos with the iPhone. It's high enough res if you take them close. Just make sure you have good lighting (ideally bright but overcast).

Getting photos with cars involved takes a lot of planning, and it's hard to do and not end up with cyclists being 5% of the photo. Unless the car(s) behind the cyclist, which then looks like they're holding up traffic.

IMO, a good photo would be to get 1 cyclist on 705 up near Kroger/Mileground with one of the STR signs and cars driving around, with some of the hills in the horizon. Probably showing the back of the cyclist, near-center of the right lane.

I personally liked #3 as it had multiple jerseys from area groups, but it totally omits the casual riders, and being in traffic. I'd restrict a large rail trail group photo to specific articles on that, as that's often what we're fighting against ,"Get out of the road, you should be on the trails!"

I agree with Steve on the high resolution. 1, 2, 4 .. but 2 and 4 are similar.

Here are some other suggestions (also low-reso):

Does anyone have photo's of Max's struggle?

Nice job on the photos. My vote goes for 4, 5 and 6 (assuming the originals are higher res and in focus!)
