Could Mark Cavendish be the true cycling Valentine? He certainly showed his love\u00a0for\u00a0bicycles along with his good character yesterday, as he helped out a young woman in need.<\/strong><\/div>\n

The Dimension\u2019s Data rider just won the Tour of Qatar, but is still\u00a0a\u00a0very\u00a0down-to-earth\u00a0guy.\u00a0He proved that by stopping to help out a fellow cyclist with fixing a puncture,\u00a0despite the\u00a0cold Valentine weather. According to Zahra Damji\u2019s tweet, Cavendish was in Totenham Hale\u00a0and helped Fran Cutts replace the inner tube in her\u00a0tyre.

The story quickly went viral and even the lady in question replied to the tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s an absolute hero, was struggling with cold hands to get the tyre back on. Even offered\u00a0me a lift, thank you!\u201d wrote Fran.<\/p>\n
