"On the Road", by Jack Kerouac

Post-challenge notes:
Pretty darn pleased with this. Thanks for all the great comments!

Oh, and the graffiti on the road reads "Nice hill". Yes, it's pretty darn steep. Last time I lost my momentum halfway up and fell off the bike. This time I made it up nicely.

I meant Willie Nelson's song "On the road again". I liked this image and gave it a 7.

We're quite the one/two, uh, 17/18 punch! One of my favorites of yours.

I fully expected to see this at the top, deserved more IMO.

Maybe not as impulsive, or as enduring, as Kerouac, but the image speaks to me, and that is important. I wonder what the road grafitti says? Well done.

I can seriously see this as a book cover. That wee cloud and the crack in the foreground are the clinchers. Nice.

Perfect perspective for "on" the road and the black and white suits this so well. Great texture in the road - love the crack in the asphalt.

From the perspective it looks like a long lonely ride. Nicely done.

Nice minimalist shot. Good job dodging and burning the road.

I can't imagine that Jack pictured a bloke on a bike to accompany his ramblings, but I'm glad that you did. It's a strangely absorbing photograph. I'd even like it without the bloke on the bike. Maybe more. 7 & thank you.

Fascinating image. Don't know why but the road resembles a tongue to me, and is about to swallow the rider. Incredible illusion, and the lighting on the road - excellent pp'ing
