We've done bridges once.
This time it's a bit different, [b]Rickety Bridges[/b].
Bonus points for a picture of you riding across something dangerously unsafe.
The rules;
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the picture.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next weeks challenge or vote for someone else's suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably.
Not dangerous as such, but when the log roll part is wet and slippy you can end up looking like a Creature from The Bog of Eternal Stench, and have to drive home with all the car windows open because your mate moans about the smell 😳

I had to build a rickety bridge for this weeks homework. I suppose I could of taken a shot on the old Severn Bridge but that would of been to easy.

@Redthunder: I guess you just got photoshop for that second post;)
Actually the second pic in the first post is better imo.

First POV = unsynchronised rickety bridge/rider self-timer muddle...
[img] 
[/img]
Second POV = this bridge is well rickety thus causing extreme camera shake...
[img] 
[/img]
Yep, rickety bridges, not to be confused with higgledy-pigggledy stepping stones...

How about [i]Overgrown, flesh shredding, brambley bridleways[/i] for next weeks challenge ?
This used to be a lovely rickety bridge on Cannock Chase, until it got vandalised. 🙁
Lots of branches and logs appeared across the trails around it at around the same time, so it looks like it's almost certainly the work of the Cannock Chase Stickman...

Next weeks theme - wearing big knickers!
Ooops - just read the rules - after the event as usual.Think I cheated 🙂
I managed to find a scaffold plank down in the woods, so balanced that over a little stream as a kinda DIY rickety bridge. Not that I managed to actually ride it however... 🙄

I also found a 'fallen tree as wobbly bridge' - but took the pussy option of a shoulder carry, given the 6ft fall I'd unquestionably have had from, down it to the stream bed below.

Given that I'm only just up the road in the same bit of unmanaged countryside - I'll second Slugwash's "Overgrown, flesh shredding, brambley bridleways" for next week. I can see the perfect track now, 5 minutes along the ridge and it's blood and plant sap everywhere (hmm, unless it's been cut it in the last couple of days following complaints from the pony girls). 😯
