As many of you know, there’s been a lot of synergy between BIGRINGRIDING and Velominati for several years now. Though BRR and Velominati have very different flavors, we work on a similar principle: foster passion for the sport through a mix of knowledge, history, and humor tempered with a healthy dose of irreverence, all while obviously making things up as we go along.
It seems only natural, then, that we should work together and thus it is with great delight that I present our monthly feature with the Big Ring taking his capitalized view on a Rule of his choice. No better Rule to start with than my personal favorite, Rule #9. And remember, it’s more than just a chainring, it’s a state of mind.
Yours in Cycling,
Frank

Good case study for rule 50. With the helmet glaze, imagine if there were snot-sicles?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I would rather be out but it gets dark at 7 and I've taken my mudguards off ready for the spring, feckin weather.And me only at 56 north and all!
Looking in the mirror, seeing ice. Feck, shut that window it's effin freezing in this bathroom.
Bipolar snow falling for the umpteenth day in a row. White of a morning, gone by lunchtime. Gusting to 50 mph and blocking roads all around. Officially fed up, heading out on the MTB tomorrow.
Pure fucking awesomeness! You could play hockey on his lid.

Wow! Beautifully framed, crisply focused, frosty as hell. Just wow.

I don't know what you do for a real job, but god knows you have a back up career as a cycling photographer. You're way better than Graham Watson with a fraction of the access he has. Chapeau!
Regarding the top photo of the frozen Kiwi: if the young man wants to know what he might look like in a couple of decades, it's right there for him to see. Not a bad picture, in my opinion.
