I'm still going to view you as a lion, though.
Just an exceptionally well dressed lion.

Also Yoink, you're less punchable than you claim.

[Shinotsa]

I need a glorious beard to be a lion, but I am exceptionally well dressed!

[Meph]

@Meph: Are you... modelling cycling gear, there?
Some of the photos I looked at are pretty dang awesome! Also: that beard in the main photo is badass.
Looks to my untrained eyes like some variety of chinstrap. Impressive indeed.

@Acetech: You appear to have an in-flight movie service in your car.
Also you do, indeed, look like some form of cartoon character. I for one think that's pretty cool!

Yup, I had to. Got the clothing and bike sponsored, part of the deal is pictures. And the beard is larger atm, more wolverine-like than chinstrap.

[Dutchling]

You're a lovely old lady shin.

[Talvieno]

You resemble Weird Al there, Yoink. Weird Al Yoinkovic?

I've been thinking the same thing.

So I cycled down through the older parts of the city I'm from, alongside first Maribyrnong River, then Stony Creek, then finally Yarra River. Long ride, but lovely.

All in spoilers.

Spoiler: The sad, forlorn Stony Creek Backwash. Formerly a mangrove swamp, now just a tiny backwash with mangroves near industry (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: A nicer picture of the Stony Creek Backwash, with a rare Snowy Egret visible, and the mangroves in the background. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: A wrecked ship that ran aground in the Backwash a loooooong time ago. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Snowy Egret closer-up. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Poor quality image of the West Gate Memorial - in 1970, 35 workers lost their lives when the West Gate Bridge collapsed during construction. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The Spotswood Pumping Station - before this was built in 1897, sewerage was a major problem in Melbourne. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Looking towards Port Melbourne from the Spotswood side of the Yarra River (click to show/hide)

At this point, it was getting dark, so I abandoned my plan to cycle from Spotswood to Williamstown, and instead caught the Spotswood Punt across the river.

Spoiler: Spotswood Punt, looking back toward Spotswood (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Spotswood Punt, approaching the Port Melbourne side of the Yarra River. You can see how heavily built up the river area is. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Spotswood Punt, looking north to the great West Gate Bridge, that connects the west of Melbourne to the rest of Melbourne. It's 58m tall. (click to show/hide)

After this, I cycled back through the city to the station, but it was too dark to get any good photos.

[TD1]

Whatever those are in the last photo (Cranes?) look like giant birds.

Whatever those are in the last photo (Cranes?) look like giant birds.

Or a flock of brontosaurii.

[Tiruin]

Reudh, you have amazing scenery. :I

[Rose]

Spoiler: Made a friend yesterday. (click to show/hide)

[Descan]

Is that your kid?

[TD1]

Huh. Look at the size of that hairy beast!

And the spider is pretty hairy, too. 

[Spehss _]

Huh. Look at the size of that hairy beast!

And the spider is pretty hairy, too. 

All I see is two big hairy spiders.

[Orange Wizard]

Is that your kid?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Huh. Look at the size of that hairy beast!

And the spider is pretty hairy, too. 

All I see is two big hairy spiders.

The top on isn't very hairy.
