bicycle times finish?

here's where i ended up. not sure yet if they want any revision on it.

bicycle times cover progress.

i've been fortunate enough to be creating a cover for pittsburgh based magazine bicycle times. a good friend of mine that i used to work with is now the art director of the magazine and i have been working with him to get this where they need it to be. he basically left the theme up to me and i'm not quite sure why i decided to go in this direction, but it makes sense to me i guess. i like riding and it's my first cover gig, so i'm just running with that. i believe this is distributed out and about most of the world, so that's interesting. here's where i'm at thus far, i wouldn't doubt some colors being adjusted , but i'll probably keep mostly with what i have going on. the second version with the jagged background lines was nixed, which was a bummer. until then.
