Cool cycling shots & poses
Soccer has spectacular goals, football has amazing touchdowns, baseball has its great strikes, tennis its serves ... all of these make for awesome shots, posters, and subsequently, iconic images for publicity. As one article pointed out, the best cycling can come up with is the victory fist pump at the end. Most of cycling involves grimacing, panting, and very weary faces.
What are some of the most iconic images (single pictures, not videos) in cycling?

Lance looking over his shoulder at Ullrich
Merckx climbing in the '69 Tour
Graham Obree supermaning the washing machine for an hour
The look on just about any kid's face the first time the training wheels come off.......
There are so many more.

i've seen this picture many a time...
i absolutely love this... he's not even on a bike and he's a badass
there are a million great photos of lance in today's media age, but i think this one, love him or hate him, sums it up pretty well.

There is one picture of the Dane who fell off the edge of the road, and they strung together their tires to pull him back up
