I got a cycling book out from the library ... and im in it

[SaMAlex]

The other day I went into my local library with my kids. They chose a book on cycling, along with some other stuff. On the way home my wife was flicking though the cycling book, and was as surprised as I was to see that Im in it!
What are the chances of that?

The photo was taken around 1998. Im doing a pedal grind on my 24" challenger.

(oh, thats me at the bottom. I dont know who lycra dude is!)

My friend Ian Oz used to work for Future Publishing. I have taken quite a few pics for him in the past and he wanted me to ride my 24" for something or another. Id not seen that pic before, I didnt know it was used in a book, or that I was in a book.

Some other photos from that day (a feeble peg grind on my 20" BMX, at that same spot) ended up being used in MENS HEALTH magazine!!!
