Durex cycle helmet.jpgCyclist - complete with helmet - spotted having sex in roadside bushes in London
A student has described how she saw a cyclist – complete with helmet – having sex in some bushes on a common in southwest London.
University of Roehampton English Literature and Philosophy student Sian Carpenter was travelling along Putney Commondale on Monday afternoon when she spotted the amorous couple.
> Team Sky reported to have tested whether Viagra helps riders' endurance
The 21-year-old told The Sun: “I was on a bus going past Commondale and I saw a cyclist only slightly behind the trees, in the full get up – even his helmet.
“So obviously I’m thinking ‘what’s he doing there’ so I glanced over and that’s when I saw the other person in front of him and the penny dropped.
“It was so funny. I doubted if that was what actually was happening though, then another person on the bus reacted and turned round really shocked so then I knew I was right.
She added: “What was weird to me was that the other person was just dressed normally in a coat – I don’t know how it would have happened.”
We don’t know either – but it has got us wondering whether Team Sky are still testing out the performance-enhancing benefits of Viagra and, if so, which of its riders might have been training in the area yesterday?

Nope, it's to keep your straps down and quieter. Plus most sunglasses are polycarbonate and aren't going to shatter like glass anyway

And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.

Vaginal Gains........... I'll get my coat.
Dogging Cycle Club - wonder what the Jersey design is...
They must be stopped or they will breed.....
Quick blast of the Cannondale on Commondale.
Sounds like a simple case of assuming that it was a pump track.
Where's the GoPro footage?
Do you think they'll put it on Strava?
Was it the bicycle position from the kama sutra?

There's a lay-by near mine where men have sex with one another not bothering to even use nearby bushes.
It's not called a lay-by for nothing.
Precisely.
One of them brings a mattress.
Note to self.
DO NOT accept 'first aid' from SuperPython.
What makes the person a "cyclist"? Were they not just a person having sex in the bush? What does it matter whether he had a bike nearby, or had walked there, driven, flown...?
I'm curious to know whether he carries a condom in his jersey pocket or saddlebag on every ride. A bit awkward if that falls out your pocket when you're getting your money out at the cafe stop...
Alternative trailquest anyone,
Fake news, move along.
When I saw the headline I wondered if someone had been inspired to film that story dottigirl posted last year...
Imagine, a normal person having sex with a cyclist!
"...I don’t know how it would have happened.”
I guess studying "how sex happens" wasn't on her syllabus.
I saw stuff when I was 21, didn't tell the papers about it, didn't rise to national prominence on account of my amazing ability to see - an opportunity missed
When a daddy cyclist and a mummy non-cyclist love each other very much...
I suspect from the location that it was in fact two daddies...
maybe even an audi owner and a cyclist unable to bear the frisson between their respective modes of transport
dressing up as a cyclist and waiting in the bushes for some pollen to land on you is the new dogging!
She's a hooker and the cyclist used the 'going out for a ride' entrendre as a cover, hence the full kit.
I do it all the time.
Definitely not a full kit w**ker in this case then?
Good that he had full protection #helmet
Well there you go, the tin foil hat wearing flat earth society anti helmet brigade have been proved right on this occasion; wearing a helmet does indeed make you take unnecessary risks.
the full get up – even his helmet.
Obviously ensuring safe sex.
Bring in the close pass initiative, NOW.
The only story here is the stupid things that people say
