Commercial Vehicle. Late not an entry
I hope all of you pardon an e-assist. It was the only bike rental I could find.
But even with E-assist I couldn’t get there.....
Uber Jump bike on the West Bank of the South Platte in Denver.
Looking forward to slightspeed’s mission.

How about your bike next to a bear? 🐻 Carved, wood, statue, billboard, even a real one if you're faster than the bear!

I used to love rolling rock in my younger days.
So are you accepting the stuffed animals Slightspeed or was that just a joke? It didn't look like you had to go real far with them.... LOL. Driveway pic....

Next mission is something to warm the heart for Valentine's Day. Your bicycle and something related to romance. Can be a wedding, a cupid, box of Valentines' Day Chocolates or Hershey Kisses, etc., or you and your sweetie in a suitable-for-BF romantic embrace.

When is Valentines Day? I guess my romance needs some sprucing up. I always thought it was a hallmark holiday and try to be romantic other times.
Anyways.... As far as going afield when completing missions, I mean the point of it is to get pics while on a ride. But it's more of an honor system thing. You get points for creativity though and being man enough to admit you actually own those. I'm not all into acting all manly but I don't own a stuffed animal. LOL.
Good job on the new mission. Will be interesting to see.
Putting the mission in bold for clarification:

Retail Romance. Next Mission: Parking Meter
Retail Romance
Next Mission: Your bike next to a parking meter.
Per Wikipedia: "The world's first installed parking meter was in Oklahoma City on July 16, 1935."
So, bonus points if taken in Oklahoma City.
No mr_bill clause on this one, folks. This one is do or die.

Wowza, I might finally have a shot to get in ahead of the field, but this is not current so it may not count according to the rules. From a trip with to the Virginia Creeper Trail ride on vintage road bikes with daughters in '17
Did anyone ever get a photo with a solar farm from earlier in the thread ???

My memory ain't what it used to be, but trains are always worth another look. Let's stick with the RR related mission.

The high quality of your picture of #433 , as well as the high quality circumstances - a bicycle trip with your daughters to appreciate fine old steam engines - is worth a pass on strict compliance with the rules. Mission complete.
Mission assignment is now up to you.
