Fuuuuck I'm less than a mile from a tunnel, but I've been driving the past few weeks because I let maintenance items pile up on the bike and I don't feel comfortable riding it.

nsaP posted:What do you have in mind here because personally, any animal that I think is even close to "ridiculous" is not one I'd come across on a bike. I saw a guy walking a standard poodle that had a full body mohawk yesterday, and almost stopped to get a picture with that. If I see him again today, maybe.

clutchpuck posted:How do you like your Pelicans (threadjack!)? Perfect size to hold just about anything, and they make great frame sliders. They do accumulate cruft, though (old bottles of motor oil, mostly empty cans of chain lube, tupperware containers, shop towels, etc. etc. etc.). I need to replace the left one. It doesn't close all the way anymore after I dropped the bike on it at speed.

KozmoNaut posted:Huh, seems the only gurdwara (Sikh temple) in Denmark is like three blocks from where I live. Not much to look at, but I'll probably go grab a pic tomorrow. The Baha'i center is about 10 minutes out of my way, but the Soto Zen center is on my way home. I might beat you to it. (I forgot my camera when I left for lunch, otherwise I would have had a picture of the Krog St. Tunnle). Edit: nope. Traffic was not in my favor this day.

Someone is going to get this before me. Take the picture. I think most of us live in a city with no good riding roads.

There were balance issues. That picture wound up costing me $10, too. I "borrowed" a bungee cord off of a co-worker's truck, which snapped. I replaced it with a roll of velcro strapping material because I felt bad for touching his poo poo without asking. So... Keep your poo poo nice. Change your oil. Oil your chain. Adjust that fucker! I know I'm going to be doing that over the weekend. Show me you are too, with pictures.

 Jackson St. Bridge over Freedom Parkway, made famous by AMC's The Walking Dead  The Walking Dead was apparently shot in an alternate reality where a train replaces Andrew Young Int'l Blvd. Upon further inspection, it looks like I shot my picture from the bridge in the poster. The poster picture was shot from Boulevard. Extra credit  Candler Mansion, Briarcliff Campus, Emory University. Apparently, scenes for an incredibly banal CW series called The Vampire Diaries were shot here. Olde Wierd Tip Because mine sucked and you have a '90s reference inbound, you get 3 hours to post yours. BEGIN!

 In the immortal words of Jermaine and Luda, "Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play And we ride on them things like every day Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin' And parties dont stop til' eight in the mornin'" Founded as a rail hub and burnt to the ground during the American Civil War, Atlanta has grown to be the largest city in the American Southeast and the 9th largest MSA in America with 5.26 million residents. This humble sign sits in a little park on the south side of Ponce de Leon Ave. I wanted to get a picture of this sign:  but So So Def Records had to take it down a few years ago due to Jermaine Dupri liking to spend money. Your next challenge: Show me something associated with a song!If you're in Detroit, go visit 8 Mile Rd. If you're in Massachusetts, show me Theresa's Stockbridge Cafe (formerly Alice's Restaurant). Get creative! If you're in Kansas, you get a pass because Kansas sucks. You can take a picture of anything and have it count for Kansas.
