This time of night on the M1 she was probably going faster than the cars!

If you've just driven past her and posted on the internet (whilst driving) you're doing well!

Strangely for a Friday the m1 was moving quite quick. She was quite out of breath so was obviously trying to keep up with the 80 mph traffic!

It wasnt as though she was a chav, mid 30-40's nice bike. Maybe just all the gear, no idea...

Yep posted while sat in stationary traffic on m62

Usually get this when the Commonwealth games or other such international sporting event comes to UK and the <insert third world country here> national cycling team decide to do a team time trial practice on the nice long straight road they've seen on a map ๐Ÿ˜†

Out in France a few years ago, we ended up on a motorway by mistake. Thought we had the right road out of town and suddenly it just became a motorway! Got quite a few toots from drivers and then the police turned up on motorbikes and escorted us off. ๐Ÿ™‚
They were OK about it actually, just accepted zat we were ze stupid Eenglish...

They could open up the hard shoulder as one massive cycle lane. That'll work...

A mate has a plan to cycle down from J 46 of the M4, North Swansea and hoon it down the hill to J 45, where we ๐Ÿ˜ฏ are then supposed to ride back to his place via the railway tunnel. Which is in use I hasten to add. Needless to say, I'm not keen on the idea.
