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.

Yep - I watched that video and I agreed with him that it seemed like a lot of money had been spent in a way that wasn't particularly going to...

Yup. Apparently average speeds are around 11 - 13 mph in inner London, about 20mph in outer London.
Great. Now do cars....
Apparently 20% of road traffic accidents, in Japan, involve a cyclist.

Wow, 30% low stated weight?! That's a bit more than rounding error or production variability.
