Bicycle decor photos...

Camino Chrissy · 2025-01-13T17:13:14+0100

In scrolling through some of my pictures I came across a "cute" bicycle I'd seen on the Via Francigena as I walked by. I'd taken several pictures of others over the years that caught my eye and think they make a nice photo op. Some are used to advertise businesses; some just caught my eye for no reason.
I always enjoy many of the "theme" threads, so decided to start this one with several of my own pictures.
Anyone else have interesting bicycle pics to share?

I love the one plastered with corks.

Sadly, not a single one.

It's definitely eye-catching!

Darn...you take such great photos!
I do hope I get to see some other bicycles...

Sorry @Camino Chrissy
All mine have people on the bike...and I did post one lately of a guy on a unicycle doing the Camino. I'll try to take more notice in the future.

I liked this one on the walk into Ruitelan on the Frances last year.

It's cheating a little bit, but someone has to do it:

In Santo Domingo de la Calzada, on the Camino Francés.

Are these bicycle seats, or what? Bar @ CR As Pias, Olveiroa, Camino Finisterre, 2017....

On the Norte there are spots where they use older bicycles as plant holders. They are painted and I like them.

Are these allowed? Taken on the Vasco 2019 at Idiazabal where the figures were decorating roadside allotments. Apologies for finger in top left of first photo.

Yes, they are allowed...so quirky!
I'll be on the Vasco in May. Maybe I will see them dressed in new attire.

I see it is wall art and painted upon a closer look! I was going to ask you if it was permanently affixed with the sun's shadow,but no need to.

Well... not so much a 'cute' bike but the blue guitar caught my eye in front of Pilgrim House in Santiago!

CWBuff · 2025-01-14T16:02:50+0100

Well... seems all of mine are "the Pilgrims' bikes" so nothing truly "unusual' or "artsy" but here they are

Wow, all great bike photos!! I have this one,... not exactly sure where it was, but somewhere between Torres and Rabanal if I am not mistaken....

I didn't think I had any photos of bikes as decor but I did remember one with a bicycle in it that I think makes a good camino picture:

Looking for that one brought up another one that might classify as decor:

For context for those who might never have seen the statute of El Cid in Burgos:
