mycyclingweekend 11 collage#mycyclingweekend 11 - Selfies in the sunshine
It must have something to do with the sunshine, because we've never been sent so many selfies on a #mycyclingweekend before.
Despite the sunshine, conditions out on the UK's roads this weekend were hardly idyllic. We had a fairly consistent cold wind all weekend, so we're super impressed at the number of you who sent us such smiley selfies
We'll kick off with a selection of the selfies in question:

Obviously, between breezes, the warm sunshine left corners of the country in some rather pleasant pools of summery sunshine. Last week's photo competition winner Jason Burns even took a trip to the seaside to take a photo showing off his prize road.cc socks.
On Instagram we also saw Laurence Kemball-Cook's photos of his crystal clear 110 mile ride to Salisbury Cathedral, we saw snaps of Jenny Ondioline's ride through the Chilterns on Twitter, and Leo Plaster's suspiciously lizard-filled and surprisingly sunny ride north of Glasgow - Scotland in April? Really?

Those of us here at road.cc who weren't recovering from our visit to the Hotel Belvedere on road.cc Italy Week managed to enjoy a weekend ride or two in the spring sunshine.
Our editor Tony's weekend came to something of a premature end, however, as an ill-advised bunny hop at the breakneck speed of 2mph did this to his steel downtube:
As always, us UK-based cyclists weren't the only ones out this weekend. Joining us from the international road.cc community were Instagram users adrian_0014 in Spain, and tuomas_ in Japan, as well as Twitter user @young_phoagy who was in Colorado.

There's plenty more where these came from - just pop the hashtag #mycyclingweekend into the search bar of Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
Keep your eyes peeled for the pre-weekend #mycyclingweekend 12 piece on Friday, who knows it might involve another sock competition!
Why do you think that cyclists complaining about allowing every minicab and Uber to hare along the bus lanes, is being "entitled"?
Ah yes, just spotted where "performance line" is quoted on the website. Couldn't see any that fall into both 'evolution' and 'performance' line...
Road tubeless? Worst upgrade I ever made, hoping when I get round to trying over Xmas that I can get the new (non-tubeless, so hopefully a slacker...
TRP cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, haven't tried them myself but reviews generally rate them as better than cable-only brakes such as Sora. I...
Thanks for your input, ride safe!
And we can be sure that Police Scotland would be similarly disinterested...
The self-professed cyclists are really self-claimed cyclists of the 'I'm a cyclist myself' variety
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
