I don't feel like an idol to anybody. I don't feel anybody should look up to me. Laura Trott feelidol Change image and share on social
I've been asked to do 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' and I do get asked to do all sorts of things like that - but I don't want to put my career on hold. I'd have to take three weeks off to do something like that. Maybe it's something I'd think about after it's all ended. Laura Trott askcareercelebrity share on social
My mum was my inspiration. As cliche as that sounds, she was the reason that we started. She chose cycling to lose weight. I was only eight at the time, so I just followed what my mum did. Laura Trott chooseclichecycle Change image and share on social
When I first started out in cycling, if there were two girls there, that was successful; but now, if there are 20 girls there, it's just unbelievable. The growth of the sport is just incredible. Laura Trott cyclegirlgrowth Change image and share on social
For 10 days after the Olympics, I couldn't go back to my house because people were sitting outside waiting to take my photo. That was a bit rubbish. At first I was open: 'Yeah, of course you can take a photo...' but after a while, it got to the point where I thought, 'Whoa, I don't like this attention anymore.'

It's all well and good having a women's Tour de France - which I think we need and I think we should have. But I think we should slowly build it in and not just go 'Bam!' with three weeks over the same course and same length of time as the men's. Laura Trott bambuildfrance share on social
I think when I first started cycling, it wasn't that popular with kids. I felt almost embarrassed going down the road on my road bike; I didn't want my friends to see me because it was embarrassing. Laura Trott bikecycleembarrass Change image and share on social
I get asked to comment a lot on inequality in cycling, but for me it has never been an issue. Everything has always been equal on the track, and the male and female riders are all part of the same team, and we all mix freely. Laura Trott askcommentcycle share on social
I am very superstitious. I trod on a wet towel before winning the Junior World Championships, and now I have to do that every time. Laura Trott championshipjuniorsuperstitious Change image and share on social
