Don't think I have entered any of these before, but 400bhp being chased in a dodgy Union Jack top from Aldi, by Origamist. Not the greatest of photos, but I was cycling at 20 mph at the time.

I hope Aldi boy knows you've entered him into a competition?


@Uncle Phil loads of time yet, if this was a @summerdays inspired one we wouldn't even be thinking of putting our pics up yet

Here's my entry (which in my expert opinion completely trumps TBM's amateur snap )

Notice the slightly more subtle il Tricolore on my jersey. It is as a homage to my late, long-lost brother, Marco Pantani.

Shortly after that picture was taken, Haceinda71 crashed into a hedgehog and boasted about in on Twatter. Hopefully he won't get away with it, even though he is tall, with bottle-blond hair and disarmingly handsome....
