The anatomy of a British cycling crowd


The picture above was selected entirely at random from TV coverage of the Tour of Britain stage on Monday when the route tackled the Honister Pass (from the easy side) in Cumbria. Selected entirely at random by me, it serendipitously captures the full, rich spectrum of cycling enthusiasts who bless this sceptred isle.
You could take any still from the media coverage and find the following people represented. Interesting stuff.



1. Wet cyclists wishing they were in Spain
2. Chorlton Velo member (IvdB) complete with old skool trainers
3. The bloke off The Crystal Maze
4. A woman
5. Numb-faced enthusiast
6. Man dressed as chicken
7. Hatless hardman
8. Lost souls
9. Bewildered mountaineers
10. Tier four broadcaster
11. Lollipop man
12. Accountant
13. Future Olympic champion
14. Annoying iphone user
15. 4x4 owner
16. Aldi shopper
17. Rain
