Stranger No58

My Friday people this week is Peter Denness a member of the Great Britain Triathlon squad, I caught up with he before the start of the Leeds 10k charity event on Sunday, he said he was there to support friends taking part.
the bike is a Giant Propel Advance Pro 2 composite construction weight is an incredible 8kg all up, cost around £2,650:00 and pedals are extra no idea why.

How strange to sell the pedals separately!

A nice capture

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel the bikes are almost made to measure so you would think they could sort the pedal size out, seemed strange to me also:)

[Peter]

@rosiekind Thank you very much for your comment Rosie:)

[Peter]

@dawnee Thank you for your comment Dawn:)

[Peter Grave]

Nice capture Peter.Pedals are probably gold plated if the price is an indication !!

[Poppo Livy]

Why would you need pedals?

[Babs]

Maybe the pedals come in different sizes to suit the individual rider.

[Sue]

I like the way you have included the bike with the cyclist. The tool of his trade. Couldn't use it without pedals though

[Peter]

@peterlgrave Thank you for your comment Peter I should have asked him his looked like an alloy of some kind:)

[Peter]

@terryliv ha Ha Terry, you could get a small 50cc scooter for the price of his bike without any pedals:)

[Peter]

@onewing You have nailed it Babs all depends on the shoe size and the type of shoe locking system of the rider:)

[Peter]

@suesouthwood Thank you for your great comments Sue just could not avoid the people around him well all but one my grandson Ethan on the left that managed to photobomb the shot:)

What a lovely image.. a little different to your usual street portraits.. i like this wider view taking in other competitors.. lovely vibrant colours in the rare sunshine.
Ethan looks to be enjoying himself..

@jorlam Thank you so much for your lovely comments Jorlam, I wanted it include the bike as I liked the way it looked its not your everyday push bike, I did notice Ethan was in the shot but went with it anyway, he enjoyed cheering on all the runners, he even picked out his mummy at the start and finish:)
