I'll try again later.
I can't get pics from Flickr to show up here. Is there something different you have to do?

Flickr is a real PITA to get photos from.
But, here's what you have to do (playing from memory because I can't get on Flickr on here):
Open the image you want to view. Somewhere there's a link that lets you "view all sizes" or something. It will then bring you to an html page, as opposed to a flash page. At the top will be a complete list of every size you can view
1920x1080 for example
Click on the size you want, right click on the image and select "copy image URL"
Then, you can use that URL to post the image on the forums.
I personally just upload the images directly to the post by dragging them from my computer into the text box. I make sure they're the correct size first.0 -
That seems to have worked. Thanks, @chivalryder
Got my old school ride out this past weekend for some nice singletrack action.0 -

Nice pics. My favorite is the "Giant" in Perth. I have 2 Giants myself. Love those bikes.0

I've done that a few times! I ran over a huge snake that was across the entire length of the road once (I didn't see it until it was too late).0 -

Here's a sad picture - only got about a mile from home before a car driver thought they would run the crossroads and plough into me.
Think my beloved Roubaix is beyond repair but maybe it might be brought back to life with a complete new frameset.
Good reminder to wear a cycle helmet though - significant damage to the helmet but not to my head. Luckily I got away with just bumps, grazes, bruises and a couple of sprained wrists. Lucky escape really.

Holy serious *kitten* man. Glad you're ok! Screw the bike. You managed to walk away.
The drivers insurance should cover the cost of a new bike.0 -

YOU'RE BREAKING THE SPEED LIMIT!!! Where are the cops! Give this man a ticket!!
I once hit 44mph on a downhill...
On a bike from the 70's...
With the original, smooth steel wheels...
With no knowledge that there was a tight chicane at the bottom, followed immediately by loose gravel.
To this day I still don't know how I got around without ending up with my *kitten* on the ground.
I have a photo of the cycle computer, but not on me right now.0 -

I hope you are feeling better from being run over. I hope you went in to E.R. & had them check you out for concussion, too. Especially since your helmet was banged up enough, think of your brain being rattled around. Did the driver stop? I hope so.

Recovering well thanks, medics are happy I'm no more damaged than I was before the accident!
Strapped wrists up and took my Boardman hybrid out today for 69 miles in beautiful weather. Too nice not to ride today but I'm jumpy as hell at junctions!
Driver has done the decent thing and admitted liability so just got to do a bit of negotiating. S-Works frameset is very tempting......0 -

Glad you're not more banged up. I know all about the jumpiness around traffic. Try slapping a GoPro on your helmet, sometimes that video presence is just enough too make a driver double-take enough to stay away. (I have one, plus a Fly6 on the seatpost/rear).

I've been really slacking on packing in the miles on the roads recently....finally got myself out, though. Headed for the county airport to watch some planes land and take off (nothing is more cool then low flying aircraft right over your head!).
After all the floods down here in Texas it was nice to have a sunny day. This entire road was washed out and not passable a few days ago...now there are dead earth worms everywhere. Rest their little souls.
