It's that time of the week again - time to bring you a collection of our favourite cycling social media posts from the last week.
In the latest episode of Tweets of the Week, we have pros trying their hand at other sports (with disastrous results), British teams enjoying our week of summer, and Alex Dowsett showing you're never too professional to call for a lift home.
Check out our favourite tweets this week:

Sat on the roadside on a big tt session day having done 1 of 4 efforts, with a flat rear tyre and a spare tube with a valve not quite long enough. Waiting for my dad for an emergency call out.After all these years, still deep down an amateur bike rider masquerading as a pro. pic.twitter.com/383aYe3G0ISeptember 16, 2021
