Sweet Bicycles

Last week I went to the Bikeworks shop near Whyte Ave to photograph a guy by the name of Chris Chan (top photo) and his ultra cool bicycle. That thing is just loaded with LED lights, so I took him into a dark room in the bike shop and had him turn on all the lights. No flash was used for that photo; the LED lights on the bicycle did the job quite nicely! Also note that there is a coconut mounted on the handlebars.

While shooting this, I also ran into Robert Park (bottom photo), who I went to photo school with. He was a year ahead of me and is getting ready to ride his bicycle to Victoria. Unfortunately, it isn't the bicycle pictured that he will be riding. Maybe next time!
