'Congratulations to you both as you go forwards towards another 'cycle' in the adventure of life... wishing you every happiness,' one excited follower wrote, whilst another added: 'What lovely news. Many congratulations to you both! Harder than both Olympics combined, but the best!'
Many of the couple's followers have already been speculating about the baby's talent for cycling, with one saying: 'Wow congratulations, a new Olympic champion in the making 👶🏼🚴🏻 baby kenny'.
