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.
When rear rack bolt shears off on coast2coast, shoelaces to the rescue! Held over 200km with load #mycyclingweekend pic.twitter.com/clj5plSwZL

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.
