As you may have read in our previous post, Like a Duck to Flickr … I Mean Water, we have wrapped our proverbial arms around Flickr. What makes bicycles and photography such a good match is that cycling is a form of self-expression … and there is no better way to “self express” on a bike than a Panda Portrait:

Here’s the brief description from the very popular Flickr Panda Portrait Group:

“Why are these called “pandas?” Well, ya see, there’s this rad chick who goes by the name faster panda kill kill. She takes rad self-portraits while riding her bike. They are so rad, in fact, that a group was formed to record similar self-portraits cuz, really, just about anyone who has a camera and rides bikes also takes these self-portraits.”
