The not so "ordinary bike"

(you hear an engine rev and horn honk)
MEEP! MEEP!

These are great shots, especially since you went with black and white, color would have been boring. I've also,never heard anyone describe trying to ride one, I've always been curious of they are easy to ride or not. I guess this answers that! :)

Thanks. Ya, the color shots aren't as interesting to look at as the black and white. It gives them a more authentic look. These bikes are pretty hard to ride, but awesome once you get the hang of it. The tire is just hard rubber though, so you feel every little bump and the peddles take some getting used to because they are constantly moving with the wheel, and you can't really come to a fast stop because the momentum of the huge wheel keeps those peddles moving. You can't really put your foot down on the ground to rest either, so it is a bit scary. You definitely don't want to get going fast on these bikes.

Very nice step"bike" and nice pictures.

Thank you.

These images are so cool. I have always loved the look and feel of black and white pictures. I can just imagine him riding that big bike down the street. I can imagine they must be so much "fun" trying to climb up on.

Thanks. I love doing black and white edits. It gives the pictures a more personal feel. The bike was a blast to ride. I was just scared to crash because they aren't the easiest things to control.

Such a funny looking bike. I have seen it before around here in New York also and the fellow was juggling bowling pins with a dog chasing behind. Now it sounds like I am making this up haha....

But very nice shots!

That dude must have been skilled if he was doing all that while riding one of these. It doesn't look that high up, but when you are up there it is pretty intimidating because if you fall, that bike will come crashing down on you as well.

What a great step back in time.

I wonder what a bit of Sepia toning would do for the images?

I had a sepia on the images before. It gave them a nice aged look, but I really liked the way this black and white turned out, especially with the black paint on the bike.

some nice photography.
and that bike is a good one.
i've never seen one like that in my country.

Thank you. Someone should take one to Bangladesh and ride it around and see how many crazy looks they get.

yeah that's what i'm talking about too.
mostly, peoples eyes will be on the forehead, haha.

What a bike man!! !? i do not see this type of bike. thank you for share this type of photo.

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

The first photo is absolutely super cool and the man is super cool too with his cool glasses :) I love it! 💚

Thanks. He has all sorts of cool outfits. I think he is getting a plague doctor mask and outfit for Halloween this year. I should get some awesome shots if he ends up getting it.
