She may have retired from professional cycling last year but
Victoria Pendleton hasn't completely turned her back on her love for
bikes.
The Olympic gold medallist has posed on a shiny blue ladies bike for the new issue of BRIDES magazine - in a pair of pants under a sheer skirt.
Pendleton is set to wed her fiancé Scott Gardner in September and to gear up for her own nuptials she has posed for the photo shoot for the wedding themed publication.

Victoria poses sweetly as she looks to the side , completing her look with a high up ponytail, large white heels and long earrings.

Pendleton
told BRIDES: 'Ironically, when I was at my most physically fit I was
most self-conscious about my legs. Having them out on show is a whole
new world!'
The former Strictly Come Dancing star is planning to wed Scott later this year and she told the MailOnline earlier this month that she has already decided on her dress.
She added: 'I have ordered my wedding dress. It's a British designer. I haven't taken a magazine deal yet - I've been offered one but I haven't taken it.
'But that's why I'm not speaking about which designer it is, just in case I change my mind about the dress - I haven't completely decided.'
Victoria also said that she also decided against employing a wedding planner, and has been doing the majority of the organising ahead of the nuptials herself.
She said: 'I've been planning the wedding myself but the venue I'm getting married at actually offers quite a lot of services and have been doing quite a lot of things for me so I haven't had to worry too much.
'I haven't been too stressed but I probably really do need to pull my finger out and do some things. All the major things are done but we have an outline for the rest.'
And with regard to her diet and exercise regime ahead of the September wedding, Victoria said that she is still basically following the same plan that she did while she was in training.
What an honour! Victoria was presented with a CBE from Queen Elizabeth
Triumph: Victoria holds her Commander of the British Empire award
She
said: 'I am still eating the same sorts of foods as I did when I was in
training but just in smaller quantities. I really enjoy cooking and
making my own meals from scratch, I always have, and I have just have to
adjust the volume because obviously when you are training, you need a
lot more carbs.
'I've been experimenting a bit more because now I've got time to look at cookery books and try new things. I've got loads of cookery books at home so it's been nice experimenting a bit and also I've been trying a lot of different vegetarian meals just because it's something I've never been able to choose before.
'I always used to think, "Oh how much protein is in this, how many carbs?" so it's quite nice to make things which I would never have chosen off a menu before.'
