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.

For us to see your entry all you've got to do is upload the photo of your bodge to Instagram or Twitter and include the #CycleSurgery and the #mycyclingweekend hashtags.
Looking for some inspiration? Here is a selection of the best bodges we've been sent recently:

Accurate "how-to" then 😂
It's worse - I tried it once (over 25 years ago), never again. I ignore the phone now or pull over and stop, that bit's easier than for car...
Looking at some of my local byelaws, many of them are phrased along the lines of:...
car is costly but once the tax etc is paid (which you can't avoid - well, outside of Lancs...)...
Lone female drivers can't kill you if they hit you because they're texting when driving? Can I send Mrs H out to shoplift me some beer on the basis...
Beter then no protection at all. I see / or it looks it's like a vest of some kind ? How is that going to work on a climb in the vuelta at 38° ??
Dt swiss so practically bomb-proof....
Saw the show at Ilkley last night.. really good 2 hours. I'd read the book already but I really don't think this is necessary. My wife enjoyed...
