Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Same picture, with extraneous crap cropped out. Taking the picture from far away also avoids the fisheye effect.
Still extraneous crud in the shot. What crop won’t get, clone tool will.

And it goes without saying that, with Rango's long Greyhound snoot, fisheye effect is all too easy to get. E.g....

the dairy is probably a processing center and tanker trucks deliver raw milk from afar. Cows are also afar.

I guess that lengthy list of things you can't do in addition to wrapping handlebars also includes photography.

He posted a picture of the mismatched-wheeled bike not long ago.

Redundant information.

Long day for the group destination ride, but fun. Gearing could have been better - I had to stand most of each climb - but it wasn't horrible. I also made it across all four stream crossings without falling or putting a foot down in the water, so that was nice, too. Oh, and we met a barn kitten at the pizza farm -
