Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Jiriho z Podebrad

I rarely photograph the Cyklojizda bike rides in Prague, but I do occassionally ride in them. The reason is that it's impractical and can spoil the ride. You either need to stop, get out your camera, shoot, put your camera away, and then continue, or you need to have a Helmet Hero, and both of these methods are irritating. This was taken in Jiriho z Podebrad, before the ride started.

Every month, usually the third Thursday of the month, an organization called Auto*Mat organises a mass bike ride called Cyklojizda. This is considered by many to be Prague's Critical Mass ride, although there are a number of differences from a conventional Critical Mass ride, most notably that it is organised more deliberately, and the relations between the riders and the police are invariably better, usually with the police providing some traffic control for the riders. Typically, the ride starts here, in Namesti Jiriho z Podebrad, but in the past it has also been started from other locations, most notably Staromestske Namesti.
