brief title

Wearing a safety helmet and t-shirt , a nine year-old girl cyclist pretends to be asleep, having has collapsed on the grass at Peckham Rye Park in South London after a marathon ride into the centre of London. 'Freewheel' was a Hovis-sponsored event for riders and families to enjoy a day of traffic-free cycling through the capital's streets and this girl has ridden 18 miles on this late-summer Sunday - starting and finishing in this park. The shadow of a rear bicycle wheel can be seen to her right and she feigns death by spreading out on the grass, pretending to sleep before reviving herself with a drink and pedalling on home, yet another mile away.
