Seen on-Road

Decisions, decisions.... (Jon Adler)

We all spend lots of time on the road. And if our eyes aren't glued to someone's rear wheel, we might see some very interesting sights -- for better or worse! Just for fun, here's a collection of road names, license plates, billboards, mailboxes and other things that roadies may (or may not!) want to come upon. The uncredited images were shot by RBR's Ed Pavelka, but this page really depends on you! Have a cool sign on one of your roads? E-mail a digital photo to publisher@roadbikerider.com. Include your pithy comment or info tidbit. If we use your photo, we'll say thanks with a free RBR eBook.
