A red and black mountain bike heavily splattered with mud is propped up in front of a large white door and brick wall. A mud splattered white and blue water bottle sits in a bottle cage in the middle of the bike frame. The tires are caked with mud. The tip of a blurry finger is, unfortunately, in the upper left of the picture.
