I mean, for me, the reason I ride my bike and race is because I love doing it, not because I'm seeking recognition for it.
From Lizzie Armitstead
Crossing the line and being world champion, I've always dreamt about it, and now I've done it. It's quite a surreal feeling, but obviously very special.
I'm suited to harsh conditions, I don't like racing in the heat.
I find weddings too procedural sometimes. I just want a big, fun party.
I'm quite un-traditional.
I feel really lucky. There wasn't a doubt in my mind when Phil asked me to marry him.
There are a lot of people I look up to and respect, but there's nobody really specific I would call a hero.
The UCI have to make the decision to put in rules into women's cycling that they have in men's cycling: you know, like a minimum budget to run a women's team and that sort of thing so that it becomes more professional.
I remember taking my stabilisers off my bike with my dad in the back garden. It was a small little bike, and it was called Poppy, had balloons on it, and was purple.
I don't look at my emails on the weekend or after 6 o'clock in the day.
