I like riding bikes.
I like taking photos.
And above all, I love spending time with my friends.
When all three come together, and I find myself photographing friends on bikes, I'm rarely happier.
But, I need to issue a plea to all my bicycle-riding chums:
I'm glad that the reflective details on your bikes and clothing make you safer at night, but it buggers up any photograph I try and take with a flash.
So please, next time I'm riding with you in the evening or at night, and you see me reach for my camera, do the decent thing, get out your screwdrivers and scissors and remove all the reflectors, armbands, stickers and clothing from you and your bicycle. Or get out of shot so I can get a picture without blinding white sparks burning out of the picture.
It will keep my Trash folder much emptier and will increase the odds of seeing yourself scooting along on Flickr.
