The utility pole lines up directly behind the yellow biker making for an awkward composition. I know you didn't have a lot of time and all, but I am just saying. If you had captured the biker either slightly earlier in the street or slightly later between the utility poles, it would have been a better shot. The cropped woman works perfectly though. But I love the yellow, it makes/balances the photo and complements the predominantly blue image very nicely. Think about timing the next time you take a shot such as this.

The focus on the street makes me believe the two bikers are heading the wrong way! The yellow biker gets my attention, so good job. I agree with fokke about the focus!

Instead of using a longer exposure time to create the impression of the moving bikes the distant focal point takes care of that. By the way, you're the first to post a photo with an entirely different aspect size, I like it! Very cool Gabriel, your point of focus characterizes this shot.
