The #mycyclingweekend bike show

This time last week thousands of you were resting your legs, lubing your chains, and sprucing up your bikes ahead of the world's biggest cycling festival.

By all accounts, the Prudential RideLondon was a resounding success, and you sent us the photos to prove it. Now that you've all recovered though, it's time to ready yourselves for another big #mycyclingweekend.

It might be worth you all going through similar motions once again this week. Lube those chains, clean those downtubes, maybe even give your chain ring a brush, because this week is the #mycyclingweekend bike show, and we want to see the chrome sparkling on every single one of your bikes.

 

Service time. Slo-mo. #slomo #campagnolo #bianchi #stravaphoto #mycyclingweekend #bicyclingaustralia #garminofficial

For most of us, our bikes aren't innanimate objects. They're living, breathing compaions. They're extensions of our physical bodies, the embodiment of our dreams, and the manifestation of our freedoms.

We've all got stories, memories, and bizarrely emotional relationships with our aluminium/carbon/steel friends. We know each tooth on their chain rings, the unique vibration of each gear change, and the feeling of equilibrium when everything's set up perfectly.

Tell us about your bike in all the gushy details you can muster. Show off. Flaunt your pride for all of us to see.

Remember, the #mycyclingweekend participant who sends in our favourite photo will win a BTwin 300 multi tool courtesy of the guys over at Decathlon

To enter, just fire a tweet, or a Facebook or Instagram post with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag firmly attached.

Here are some of the posts we received over the last week:
