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

Pic collecting for school project

Hey everyone. My 12 yo son has a school project in social media that will last till the end of the school year, and he's (and his project partners) put up blog - more of an image blog - as a social experiment to see the natural outcome of the blog, some lessons in SEO, connectivities through Pinterest, Tumblr, Tweets, etc., and hopefully learn from it, obviously. I've helped with some of the setting up and upfronting some of the costs, which are minimal.

Their chosen subject? Roadbikes. Different kinds. Knowing that I'm a regular in the 41, They want to snag some images of owners' bikes here, particularly in the hot/not thread. But I advised it's better to ask for persmission first. So how about helping a bunch of 12 year olds out? Blog is in my sig, email contact in "about". Thanks in advance.

Mods - if this is inappropriate, let me know and I'll delete, thanks.

Just a little constructive criticism, I'd use a smaller banner, and a less...uh... bloody? one.

Not a fan of staring at that on every page.

Lol, I'll definitely suggest that. Keep in mind it's Halloween, they're all dressing up as zombies for our local fright night this weekend....and they're 12. My son was Googling "Chris Anker Sorenson's fingers". I said, no.

I just checked and it worked fine for me. Maybe clear your cache/cookies? BTW, your Cervelo's up, thanks. Did you vote on it?

My son says thanks everyone so far!! I gotta admit, compared to the other kids' project blogs, this one is a pretty cool subject.
