I would LOVE to see photos of cyclist against the landscape.<br /><br />Good luck and have fun spotting!Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09457121626940305454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-66700242868080516272009-07-07T20:08:56.722-07:002009-07-07T20:08:56.722-07:00That&#39;s a great idea about having a weekly installment of Chicago Cycle Chic. No one else I&#39;ve seen has been doing that yet. I need to devote time to getting off my bike and capturing others going by. Lots of subjects now in the summer!Dottiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03984050970208363927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-72167555919270861292009-07-07T15:02:04.561-07:002009-07-07T15:02:04.561-07:00stefanv, I have run a couple times too. I don&#39;t really get many looks - I think locals imagine I&#39;m a tourist.<br /><br />Can&#39;t wait to get a camera where I can use zoom. The photos on cyclechic.be look like they are high quality photos.Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09457121626940305454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-59797062440905830922009-07-07T15:01:13.136-07:002009-07-07T15:01:13.136-07:00I also have to make photo expeditions. I have asked a few people but those are usually people walking with or standing near their bike. I&#39;ve not had anyone say no yet.Cosmohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08364487305473753277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-5166250322043309032009-07-07T14:06:39.409-07:002009-07-07T14:06:39.409-07:00For me it all depends on the mood I&#39;m in. I like the street shots a lot myself, but I tend to feel akward at times to make them. You getstrange looks. Some days I care, somedays I don&#39;t.<br /><br />But when I see someone to cool to be true, I ride or even run after them and ask them to pose. And lik you say, usually they are proud.stefanvhttp://www.cyclechic.benoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-402439839305776342009-07-07T10:23:40.015-07:002009-07-07T10:23:40.015-07:00I&#39;ve started to ask permission to despite my shyness.

I also feel more comfortable asking people to pose for photos, rather than just snapping without their awareness. Usually, people are pretty happy and proud to pose with their bikes!Filigreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197326151905439912.post-8205609315070332652009-07-06T18:46:17.748-07:002009-07-06T18:46:17.748-07:00It was hard for me at first too.<br /><br />You should start a &quot;Chicago Cycle Chic&quot; blog!
