Chris 531's photostream

Thankyou for looking at my photo's 1.3 million views on my Flickr.
I am bicycle mad ! and a keen cyclist for 41 years
I have an interest in photography and obsessed with taking pictures of Vintage / Classic motorcycles , tractors , comercials , bicycles etc.. Static displays , road runs cycle racing and privatecollections.
I have started marking my photo's as over the last few months more people have removed my photo's for use in blogs without asking me. I take my photography serious and when I challenged a few people about using my material without crediting me I got some very abusive language from a few Blog owners. I have a problem with people with that type of attitude and sadly I feel that I must watermark all my photo's moving forward.
TO ENJOY MY PIC'S LOOK AT MY SETS AS I HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT INTERESTS !!!
LOOK AT MY PHOTO'S AS A SLIDE SHOW TO SEE THEM FULL SIZE.
Enjoy !
If you don't have any photos I will block you as the spirit of Flickr is photo sharing .

"I completely concur with Chris's sentiments about our duty to preserve and promote old and vintage roadsters for the next generation, now that the generation who bought, owned and used them daily are cycling on smoother roads somewhere else. I am glad that he and others are active in that aim and if lots of people do a little bit, given that there are plenty of other hobbies, and make the effort to save the bikes from the crushers, there will be enough of the wheeled heritage to pass on for it to make sense to a generation who never pulled a rod-brake or who never back-pedalled to slow down or change gear...or felt the comfort of a well-worn fully-sprung leather saddle. Keep it up Chris."

"I have only known Chris personally for just over twelve months but had known of him before that. A dedicated cyclist with an interest in people as well as machines. Chris has been active in organised cycling for a long number of years both as a competitor and as an organiser. He has put a lot back into the sport through his involvement with club cycling and cycling federation time trial league, a much less appreciated role within cycle sport but very necessary. Chris now enjoys riding his bike with friends more than competition. A genuine cyclist who enjoys any time spent awheel his red and white Mercian."
