Should be retitled: “Al Gore’s Vision of the Future.”

Interesting photo; especially the “un-manned” right pedal.

Looks like something from a Tim Burton movie.

Haven't we already seen like 10 million of people's boring Burning Man vacation pictures?

They all look the same to me, what's so special about this one?

Nothing is even on fire, and not a Tesla Coil in sight!

This one is way better:

Are you saying it is photoshopped? because it looks like both feet are on the other side of the bike.

Hmmmm. his feet are both on the same side, so I doubt he’s peddling. should be called “Man dismounting bicycle.”

I noticed the same thing, right off. Both of his legs are on the left side of the bike. Must have been posed. Great photography, though.

It looks to me like he’s just getting on the bike as the shutter snaps.

Did anyone here ever see the movie ‘Pecker’?

It’s about a young, talented photographer. An ordinary kid who gets caught up in the pretentious art scene when his stuff finally gets noticed...

Many of his photos were by accident and some were just simple takes of his friends, etc and these pretentious art snobs made him out to be the greatest thing ever and constantly read too much into his pieces as they were always looking for interpretation and meaning in his simple photos.

That’s what this reminds me of.

BTW, I rented that movie the same day I rented ‘Dick’, they were both out at the same time, coincidentally. I didn’t notice that the fictional about Nixon and the B-movie had similar titles until I got to the register. Haha... The exchange with the female clerk was awkward when we both noticed this. This was about 10 years ago.

LOL

The photo would have been much better if he could have had the bike do this (It looks like it's almost there):
