mycyclingweekend 2016_08_12.jpg#mycyclingweekend: Your best bike bodge
We've all been there; stuck in the wilderness with a flat tyre and no pump. What do you do? Well, bodging a solution is often the only way. So show us yours, and Cycle Surgery'll send you something that might help next time!
This week, Cycle Surgery are offering the best #mycyclingweekend entry the prize of a Lezyne Tech Drive HP travel pump!
So, what have you got to do to win?
Simple: show us your best bodge!
Whether you overcome some serious bad luck this #mycyclingweekend, or you've got a photo of a bodge you're particularly proud of knocking around, fire them over to us!
We're not looking for engineering genius. Just take Twitter user BangkokDi's bodge below. All he needed was a shoelace to fix a temperamental rear rack.

The relatives might of course disagree, but in general I'd countenance a relatively light sentence* if only we could fix it so that those who...
Id forgotten that I got a second hand set of project two's for my getting to work bike over twenty years back.
My bet is that all these tires popping off are from people with bad pressure gauges or they're simply just putting too much air in on purpose. ...
You have to add images via a reply to yourself after the topic is created. One at a time too.
David9694 - you were right! These new autonomous vehicles really are conspiring to run out of control!...
