Handlebar Time
An unbranded wristwatch is fastened around a bicycle handlebar, with green cycle-lane paint visible below in soft daylight.

Candid editorial still-life photograph, 4:5 portrait. Close oblique overhead view of one analog wristwatch buckled snugly around the handlebar of a parked bicycle beside a green-painted cycle lane. The watch faces upward like a tiny improvised dashboard: brushed steel case, plain cream dial with simple baton markers and no numerals, dark navy woven strap. A black rubber grip enters diagonally from the lower left; crop out most of the bicycle. Below, green asphalt and a single white lane boundary create an uncluttered graphic background, with breathing room at upper right. Soft overcast daylight, realistic exposure, a faint green bounce along the underside of the steel case. Focus on the watch, with gentle optical falloff rather than artificial blur. Believable material wear, no manufactured dirt, no added grain, no dramatic grading. Quiet visual humour from the practical pairing. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
