Tweets of the week: Have you ever tried running over a line of moving cyclists?

I think a new cycling discipline may have just been invented

(Cycling Professor/Twitter)

No, of course you haven't. What a ridiculous thing to even propose. Running over a line of moving cyclists? Shut the front door.

What you are about to see puts the running of the bulls in Pamplona to shame. A stampede of terrifying 1,000kg bovine? A piece of cake compared to running on the backs of 11 moving cyclists and not completely stacking it. What I'm saying is, if this isn't an Olympic sport by 2030 then scrap the whole thing.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
