New Old Film Challenge #6 Show Us Your Best Human Powered Vehicle Shot

So despite my best effort to abdicate responsibility for choosing the next theme it seems I have to find another subject from the archives.

This is partly inspired by @Carl Hall 's recent posts of some very nice bicycle shots and there's quite a few other folk on here that have a penchant for taking shots of a two-wheeled steed. So this time I want you to search the shoeboxes full of old prints and little yellow boxes of slides for your best human powered vehicle shot. You don't have to have been road-side on the Col du Tourmalet as the peloton grinds its way to the top it can be a shot of your kid finally getting the stabilisers off their bike, mastering roller skates, a skateboarder at the undercroft or even a soap box derby. Anyway you know the type of thing.

Just to make it clear as mud the shot doesn't have to include the human powering the vehicle but it can if you like.

And if there's anybody out there that wants to take part but doesn't have access to a scanner I'd be happy to scan the occasional negative if needed.

Closing date for entries will be Sunday 1st February and voting will close 3 days after that.

Meh.... Fishermans rowing boat, or it used to be before it was dragged onto the beach and left to rot. Shot with a disposable camera with some very ropey Crossbird film and even ropier processing by snappy snaps

I've many picture of bikes but little else sans engine.

This poor woman was rear ended the day before whilst I was standing talking to a mate 10m away. I took this on the way to work the next day. She wasn't seriously injured and luckily the child seat was empty.
