What about a picture taken while riding your bike during BAFS 2020, but that doesn’t include your bike? For example, from 2019:

Beautiful photograph. The answer is… I will want to see photographs that remind me specifically of freezing saddles. Something that has at least something bicycle-related is good (even a shadow, or perhaps just tire tracks). Gorgeous photos.. yeah, I can’t say that I won’t consider them, but I will err towards the bikey as the plan is to construct a thematic calendar.

Hey look, I get to play a reindeer game after all instead of just lying about it on the form! /s

Seriously, great contest. Much more likely to do this than to remember to tag my errands or coffee shop/brewery visits.

Love the idea of a bike-themed calendar. I just sent my mom one for Christmas of pictures I took from my bike in 2019 (titled “Bikes and Views”); this was not one of them, but there were a lot of the Capitol at sunset or the Reflecting Pool at sunrise ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Obviously one important feature will be that the photos are taken with a high-enough resolution that they can print on 8×11 or 12×12. Look forward to seeing what I can contribute!

Thanks! There was a photography contest the first year or two that I played Freezing Saddles. I’ve missed it.

Here’s the thread from the 2015 photo contest

And here were the winners!

Some make me wistful, like the shot of Phatboing (Nimish) who is now out in Seattle (https://www.strava.com/athletes/627867). I miss his humor and indefatigably cheerful nature.

Looking forward to this year’s shots.

Nice. I think it was 2016-17 when I finally got a smart phone, joined Strava, and did my first FS. Stayed a Luddite too long.

Is it still artsy-fartsy if I take a pic of the other foot wearing a different Rapha bootie? Asking for a friend…

Artsy fatty? That’s a new one for me. An artsy pic of your fat bike?

Does this angle make my ankles look fat?

#DANGERPANDA also requires looking into the camera. Wistfully, if you’d like

Do you @drevil mean like this?

Does this remind you of freezing [emoji3063] saddles?

Bike artsy fartsy enough, literally?

Liberty Street public parking lot, Leesburg VA, near W&OD and King Street intersection (behind the Georgetown Park and tree [emoji269] foliage when not freezing saddles season)

LoveWork, W&OD terminus, Purcellville VA
