I was not actually on my bike in this picture. This is a photograph of the elusive, rarely sighted Rollerblading Qwrrty. So, yeah, I think I was coasting at that moment. Too much concentration to keep stroking.
Nice picture! And I've taken photos while rollerblading, too, though only on the sidewalk/bike path... and it's not like I'm a font of good advice, anyway. :)
Perceptive! shayde noticed that another picture that I took was left-right reversed, even though I didn't deliberately do anything of the sort. This is what I think happened, though the details may be hard to understand if you haven't seen the phone in operation:
My camera phone is a LG VX-7000. It's a clamshell phone, and the camera is mounted on the hinge. The lens rotates backward and forward, so you can take a self-portrait by rotating it all the way backward. If you do that, of course, the image is upside down. So there's another button you can hit to turn the image around so it's right-side up.
Apparently this button flips the pixels vertically instead of rotating the image 180 degrees. If it rotated the image, then it would have the proper left-right polarity. But it flips the image instead, so it looks like it's taken in a mirror. Very odd.
One day a year, because Cambridge is named after a town in England, they decide that they should to driving on the left side. In order to make it more fun, they don't post any explanatory signs (except for changing around the traffic signs), publicize it much, or tell you what day it is going to be that year. Hilarity ensues!

I am very pleased with this particular shot, myself. My practice is paying off.

If only I'd heard of "moblog" first, I wouldn't have imprinted on that bastardized version. Instead... well, it's too painful to discuss.

Yeah, incidentally, it totally is. See? Easy-peasy! Now take 1000. :)
