You\u2019re about to sell it, you\u2019ve achieved cycling nirvana during an epic ride, or you\u2019ve remembered just how much you love your bike.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want a photo of someone else holding your bike. So, what do you lean your bike against?\u00a0 Share your images in the comments.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A fence by a canal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No prizes for guessing where I took this picture. A world-famous site is a great backdrop to a bike, providing the bike is more handsome than the background. Of course, we all know that the main reason to visit Amsterdam is the lugs.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1B72DfHuc-\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A gate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bicycles leaning against gates is its own, very specific, sub-genre. By the time you\u2019ve realised you want to take a picture of a bike leaning against a gate, you then have to keep cycling until you find a gate. And try not to forget you need to take a picture when you pass a gate. Does a Strava KOM count if you don\u2019t celebrate with a gate picture?<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bl_a4bmhnus\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bear statues<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some people just make it look easy. Bear statue? Check. Perfectly framed photo? Check. Timer set correctly? Check. The triumphant pose sat atop the bear is stylishly offset by the Rapha strip matching the colour flash on the Specialized. This is <strong>@soma_ride<\/strong> from Instagram and she earns her poses. Join her on a ride if you dare.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BvA1CRoACJT\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A rock<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The wilderness is a great back-drop and can you imagine a more humbling reward for a morning\u2019s climb than the Granite Dells? Not that it matters \u2013 the commentators are more interested in how the DVO forks perform. I guess @mtb.247 should know by now.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BoZ9neVhGTm\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jauntily, against a car<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We all know that carbon is incapable of scratching any other material, so why not lean it against a car? You could throw this bike at a car and it would probably do as much damage as a feather \u2013 it probably weighs as much. In the words of Sean Kelly, \u201cthe bike comes first\u201d. I should add that we in no way condone bikes being thrown against cars.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bxus3XThNAi\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Against another bike, that\u2019s leaning against a wall<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Remember being a kid and asking your dad to buy you the same bike as your BFF? I think that\u2019s cool and I reckon us adults shouldn\u2019t be ashamed to adopt this practice. Imagine riding the urban streets and parks with Jeb from accounting on matching whips before sitting down to drink matching warm tins of coconut La Croix. You glance up, see your matching gold frame BMX\u2019s and *click*.\u00a0 Job done.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1BW9gRlf1e\/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are three reasons to take a photo of your bike.
