Iconic Bicycling Images: Storage Locker

[sk_tle]

Maybe not as iconic as the previous one posted. Track cycling is less popular but these two of circled on the intarweb for a few years:

Okunev from Russia doing a wall ride trying to avoid Baugé. Okunev inevitably crashed when returning to the track.



And that amazing save by Baugé after the back of a Kevin Sireau falling catched and locked his rear wheel.





Those french track team mechanics have a bad reputation of not gluing those tubulars correctly.

They do a better glue job on rear wheels lol.

The best thread ever. You can close the internet after this.

I'm not sure it qualifies as 'iconic' but I love this pic.

1986, the Plumline 7500, 50 miles offroad with 7500 feet of climbing, reaching 11,000 feet elevation. A couple of miles in, the saddle fell off Cindy Whitehead's bike. "But still she persisted." And won.

Had some fun looking back at this thread. I have met GL twice and the second time this was the photo I asked him to sign.

Found this in a Paris postcard shop years ago.
I have met both of them but never dared to take the photo out and ask for a signature.
Would have probably ruined a perfect evening and might have resulted in a right cross to the jaw.
Still, I am curious what they might have written...

Awesome picture. "This Coke's for you".
