In our collection of cycling holiday photos, we have a number of unflattering shots of my arse spilling generously over a bicycle saddle. Because I’m the slower cyclist, I tend to be in front and the Sous Chef takes snaps of our little cycling trips as we go along, without me knowing. It’s not until we upload back home that I see, with horror, the view he gets most trips. The next one was taken in Germany two years ago. My arse is nearly as wide as the panniers! I’m carrying more luggage on my rump than on my bike.
