Bradley Wiggins of Team Sky rode the Manchester Skyride with a flatbar road bike, aka, a hybrid. Granted, he was probably gven the bike for the event but hey, he could have said, "no way I'm ridin' that". How will he ever live it down among his Tour de France colleagues ? But me, I say kudos to him for not acting like a bike snob (especially after you take note of his less than elite riding outfit) and mixing it up with everyday cyclists in the skyride.
