    three bikes of mine have been stolen this year... I think I'm going to write this onto the next one.

  5. knautia (90 months ago | reply)

    Thanks! It's the best bit of graffiti I've seen in a long time.

    Martinho - i'd be flattered.

    I think this really must be true....I mean what kind of person steals a bike???

  8. galieshinie (90 months ago | reply)

    Having your bike stolen is easily one of the worst things to have happen. So.....true dat.

  11. knautia (90 months ago | reply)

    damn, a-zhan, that's a *bad* week

  12. katmeresin (90 months ago | reply)

    Oh I love this. I am only worried that among the bike stealing lot, it might actually encourage it.

    What a beauty! A group of friends and I will be going on a 600km road trip with some determined diabetes youth ("Riding with Diabetes"). I must share this with them. Thanks!

    You've been popolo'd.

    when you compare this with the other shot, the artfullness is apparent - the words are great, but presumably not yours, so that would have been a dgap, but the shadows and textures, and particularly that sinister dark corner make this a pop for me...

    If it's ok with you - I'll print this for a friend at work who had her bike stolen a few weeks ago....

    photopath - of course, go ahead!

    bdadada - I'd be more than happy to shoot a roll of Bristol graff to have Newcastle over the top. There are some Bristol bits that would be especially suitable....

    Well I prefer the digi image!

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Typescapes, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    That's a fantastic shot. I love the lighting it's far better than the other one you took which I presume was in daylight.
