Patron Saint of Cycling?

I could thought we could delegate it a bit locally. There must be more cyclists now than in medieval times...

True, the London one is St Reatham

So the Aussie one would be St Ruth?

Joke might be over-egging it but it's a little pun on Streatham

I was on a bike ride once with someone called Helen and we passed St Helen's church. So the patron saint of cycling is St Helen, IMHO.

Blessings be upon you my child

Probably because they have to be a Catholic? Are there any (recent) saints that are non-catholic? Don't current day saints have to be beatified by the Pope?

St Uffed by the Pope!
