A page of cycling puns and humorous wordplay for bicycle fans of this popular transport, pastime and sport.

Instead of pictures of people falling off, which would be very funny indeed, this page is about wordplay and the fun to be had changing cycle, bike and pedal into other words.

Let's pump up the tyres, spin the wheels of good fortune and look forward to freewheeling all the way down again.  It may turn out to be wheely good.

So, if you are a cycling fan or just bike curious, let me peddle you some puns.
