@catbus, wow. I can recommend a book "Interesting Times" by Terry Pratchett, in which the hero travelled to a distant land where words had different meaning depending on how you pronounced them. So a "shovel" could become a "mother in law" if you did not pronounce it properly.

@juiceme, you are absolutely, definitely, undoubtedly, male. Or at least your bike picture has been drawn by someone who is

To anyone curious, the key is below in white on white. Obviously it only works if you check it after you have had a go at your drawing

Of course everyone is different and individual personality traits may overrule the general trend, but in general and for whatever reason, men tend to be more technical while women tend to be more people oriented.

For the purposes of our test, men are more likely to draw a bicycle with all the technical bits included: wheels, handlebars, pedals, chains...

On the other hand, women are more likely to draw bikes with people on them.

I'd post a picture for this contest, except that my bike is still locked to a wall bracket in my ex-fiancé's bike storage. Well, I'm assuming it's still locked there because: I was the only one with keys, it would take some time with a hack saw to get through the lock or bracket (or bike frame), the storage area was littered with many other bikes that seemed abandoned so I doubt anyone cared to remove it. It was a nice bike and would have made for a good picture.

I'm hoping that there's some sunny weather to come later in this month, so I could get a nicer picture. But I'll start with this one. Local ridge trail and my beloved ride. Winter already here, but not much snow yet. Taken with Oneplus X w/ Sailfish, stock cam app. Unedited.

Here we go.
The rain put a nice sheen on the picture.
Taken on a Oneplus3 with OpenCamera yesterday, levels and scaling in GIMP.
