mycyclingweekend 2016_02_22.jpg#mycyclingweekend - mecahnical malfunctions & frozen friends
For some of you it was wet, for others it was absolutely bloody freezing, but neither of those things stopped you lot from following our advice and having a stellar time doing it.
What was our advice, you ask? Well, it was to head out on your #mycyclingweekend ride with the people you love - your partner, your best friends, or your cycling club!
You headed out in your troves. We received loads of photos of you lot having a great time, even in the most miserable of circumstances. Who knew getting a puncture, or suffering some sort of mechanical misfortune would be such an enjoyable experience?
Check out the faces on Instagram user Frenchie888 and Richard Stevenson - they don't look too frustrated in their predicaments. Friends'll do that to you.
About two thirds of the way through #mycyclingweekend and I didn't expect this, all sorted and finished the ride

Away from the misfortune of mechanical failures, you lot look like you had a wonderful time this #mycyclingweekend.
Instagram users brownrachael and daveb85 took to the roads with their partners. Despite pretty miserable looking conditions, the faces on the four of them prove that there's no such thing as bad weather - just good company.
Dazcalvert on Instagram took to the roads with the Longstanton Wheelers, and by the looks of things had a great time.
Jamesmcmeez and lushworks also posted photos of their grouprides on Instagram. None of those featured in their photographs look like they let the cold get them down.
And our very own Mark Cantwell, also of twowheelsbetter.cc fame, took a break from trails and fat tyres. He took to the roads on little skinny tyres with Rich Keith under particularly pleasant looking skies.
Of course, cycling can be the perfect escape, too. That's what's so wonderful about the sport that we all love so much.
There were plenty of you who spent your #mycyclingweekend at one with the environment around you, and as a result sent back some spectacular photos of your surroundings.

Remember, it's not too late to get involved in the #mycyclingweekend fun. To send us a photo simply upload it to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag attached, and we'll see it.
Happy riding!
It is a silly waste of time to make these generalizations at the same one is trying to apply specific category labels to bicycles -- especially...
Maybe the UK could try to reach some sort of agreement with the EU over things like international trade and such.
Cumbria County Council was a 1974 creation, merging the of old County Borough of Carlisle, and counties of Cumberland, and Westmorland - in which...
If BC want to insist on barriers then they should have their own stock loaded on a truck that they can rent out to organisers at reasonable cost,...
Well, there's lifetime bans and there's lifetime bans. Banning an 88 year old don't impress me much.
I think that is why blind eyes have been turned in the UK, internationally aswell, with things like the Redhook crits, there were many licensed...
Ahem - other esporters(?) might be rather surprised to hear that the UCI has taken over their events - I think that would be the Cycling Esports...
I wonder how he got to the game?
You'd need some good wet weather gear for that ride too.
It seems to me that the most likely explanation is that whoever provided that quote fails to grasp the difference between a "public right of way"...
