I love the bumper on this bike. It's an old Schwinn bike and was last licensed in Minot, ND in 1973. It's decked out with a cool headlight with the old type generator you put on the tire. I used to have one of those, the slower you rode, the darker it got, but I really couldn't pedal fast enough to get a decent amount of light. Not real safe I guess but I sure got my exercise. I'm not sure that this bike got much use, it's in pretty great condition and I know the history of it. Right now it's a wall decoration in my photo studio's lobby.
Camera talk...I used a fairly quick shutter speed and used the flash to just light up what I wanted. I didn't want to show my lobby, so I had to control the lighting. I love dark and broody stuff anyway.
