Perhaps he thought he looked cool.

Passing motorist John Hicks, 38, from Sawston, pulled over with his two sons when he spotted the strange sight on the stretch of road near Wandlebury last week.

Mr Hicks, a marketing director, said: 'It was all very exciting. Other cars stopped too. We just couldn't believe it. It was the most bizarre sight.

'I don't know how he managed to balance the fridge on the bike. It caused no end of laughs. It just looked so strange.

'We heard he was heading to Linton which is a pretty long cycle, especially if you are carrying a fridge on the back of a bike.'
