Photo of the Month - October 2013
 |
 Picture of the Month is an article showcasing the best Pictures of the Day from the month before. We take the most viewed photos that were uploaded in the previous month and give you the top 7 more or less...Another month down, and another selection of amazing shots that have made it into the Picture of the Month. I'd first like to start by clarifying something that gets asked about almost every month. The way the POM works is the photos are ranked by number of views in the month that they're uploaded. It has nothing to do with overall number of view, or when the photo was POD. So if you upload an image on September 30th, and it becomes POD on October 10th, it may have a lot of views in October, but it's only eligible for September's POM because that's when it was uploaded. This means that if you have a photo (or a video) that you think has a chance at POM or VOM you should upload it in the first few days of the month, and definitely not at the end of the month. With that said here are the most viewed photos that were uploaded in October... |

I had one of a girl on a bike and it got taken off. reason her nipple where to erect. 3000 views in less than 24 hours. It is sort of like the girls and car posters you used to see in the mechanics shops.

yeah but I think it has to be in the riding category, the same reason that pic of Norbs Demo a few weeks ago wasn't up here.

At Vernon I'm shocked my pics don't get taken down. My nips are always hard when I ride.

Vernon, perhaps it was because she wasn't wearing a helmet?

Vernon, that pic wasn't included because there isn't a bike in that pic. I have double checked but still didn't see one..

Of all these, I think the fall in Utah is the most truthful. The rest are beautiful but appear staged. And since falling is a major part of this sport, I say we should give it to good old Mr. Gravity. He can be helpful at feeling the bliss of our sport, or he can try to kill you.

Thought the rider not pictured in #4 (camera bike) had Zipp wheels and was on some cyclo-cross bike. Lo and behold...

All fantastic pictures. The only thing even more fantastic about those pics is the actual experience of the moment.
