Robyn does 'The Cav'

(....as in Mark Cavendish, the Manx missile).

If you are a fan of professional cycling and watch events, such as the Tour de France, regularly, you will be familiar with how the winner of each stage typically crosses the finishing line (especially when it's not a closely fought sprint finish) - i.e. sitting up, arms outstretched and cycling WITH NO HANDS!  This is something that Robyn has perfected since living here and I suppose it's endemic to life over here.

It's a skill I've never had the chance to perfect but, with cycling being a preferred mode of transport here it's something you see a lot.  Robyn is very casual about it - if she's merely cruising along, the chances are her hands will not be holding the handlebars.  Particularly helpful if she's forgotten her gloves - she may be cycling, but her hands can still go in her pockets!
