Rather than post in the thread asking for your favorite photo, you make a new one.

MUST FILL SUBREDDIT WITH MORE NOISE!

Plus, think of the karma.

[–]whatfrog 1 point2 points ago

I think it in this case it was worth it! I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, it's a very cool pic...

I'm just slightly disappointed that it's unlikely to be OP, Image seems to have been floating around since 2010 at least...

by your logic, popup ads are ok.

You could put it in the original post then.

Except it still gets 400 upvotes from the dribble.

Also it's a "cycling photo" in only the sense that there is a bike involved. Being on fire has nothing to do with cycling, the maximum amusement one could get from this is "oh that guys on fire, and he also happens to be on a bike, that's cool".

I was too late to that party for anyone to see it.

"Ok now hear me out. You're going to jump that ramp...and then we're going to set you on fire"

Solid plan

[–]wanbo37 2 points3 points ago

and that's what you get for running a red light.

Yoga flame!

Sorta relevant

[–]CaffeinatedGuy 1 point2 points ago

As someone who as both spun and blown fire, that does not look safe. That fireball is fueled by liquid paraffin so besides the fire and heat, any unburned excess would stick to the breaks and be difficult to remove.

So it's a fireball that's slippery.

Its photos of stunts like this that remind me of tragedies like this http://www.canada.com/mobile/iphone/story.html?id=fad8b441-7a36-4667-b18a-d30788975380

Photos like this really make you appreciate the strange associations the human brain can make.

I think I've been doing cycling wrong...

You'd have to be pretty sheltered for this to be NSFL.

[–]theuniverseisyou 0 points1 point ago

So much for thinking of others. Downvoted my own comment out of shame.

[–]milesofpain 0 points1 point ago

It's seriously serious in here.

[–]RealDollNipSlip 1 point2 points ago

A fake skeleton with ashes poured on top is so NSFL dude.
