Show us pictures of your bike next to bodies of water...
This has been a popular thread in the road forum, and one that serves a few different purposes. It lets you show off your bike, eye other peoples' rides. 
And this is a great excuse to show off your scenery, too.
If you don't have any pictures of your bike next to a body of water (river, lake, ocean, whatever), you'll have to bring your camera for a scenic bike ride.
Please tell us where the photos are from.

A fender on a cervelo! Well, I never.
I blew it - I took a picture of the beach Saturday but left my bike out of it. I'll be smarter next time.

Sounds like a ride to Horse Thief Reservoir or Wilson Lake is in order, then. And this thread has officially forced motivation onto its first victim. Muwahahahaha!
I think I camped at Wilson Lake on a cross country road trip once. Or maybe it was Cedar Bluff Reservoir? It had seagulls!

I don't have this frameset anymore, but it used to be mine, and I rode it by the water in the photo ... so I think that counts?
This was Diablo Lake, on the North Cascades Highway. I camped (with the bike) on the lake in the background. It was a warm day in May or June, and I rode until I ran out of water ... stupidly, I forgot to bring my purifier with me.

A nice day here in Michigan for the end of Winter. The bicycle is parked in a hosta patch, where some master gardeners do their thing.
