…and 10 other unexpected cycling enthusiasts

Like the moment when you first see a teacher outside school hours, there comes a time in every youngsters life when mystery and magic begins to slip.

And this day, dear reader, is the day that you realise Darth Vader owns a racer. In fact, according to artist Mike Joos, many superheroes/supervillains are keen velodrones. As you can see by these images, when he's not webslinging about New York, Spider-Man is cycling his way through Central Park. The Green Lantern has gone even greener! Hell, even BA Baracus has traded his beloved black van for a bike.
