ReplyDeleteBest cycling city of Eastern Europe!
I want this calendar so badly!
Just great! My favourite is: 3, 4 and 5. But becouse I have bad experience with ridind and talking on the phone, so: 4 ;)
ReplyDelete#3 is very stylish and the flowers in the basket are a nice touch. This one gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteixtlilto, what's your problem? They've stopped to talk on their phones. If only most car drivers would be as sensible.
How fun!
ReplyDeleteI vote for #2.
No. 2 gets my vote of course . . . but I guess voting for my own photo won't count ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn that case, I'd like to vote for No. 5, simply for the improbably over-sized bike featured. Stunning!
While I am very partial to number 5, and the subject is very dear to me, the second shot is pretty funny. That woman looks like she wants to smack the photographer with that big blue bag!
ReplyDeleteJust want to say 'thank you' to Mikael for doing this. It was fun to try to see my everyday world a little differently!
w.v. 'defial'
I will not defial this moment with my silly word verifications!
4 is the coolest.

Number 3 looks staged, apologies if i'm wrong!
ReplyDelete# 4
ReplyDeleteNo. 3, 4, and 5 are the best, but only 4 looks authentically, like real cyclist, so I vote: no. 4!
ReplyDeleteI vote: no. 4! Only becouse its looks authentically.
