"Russell Crowe has challenged a journalist to a cycle duel after a photograph of him was mocked in an Australian newspaper.  Columnist Annette Sharp from Sydney&amp;#039;s Daily Telegraph had poked fun at the Gladiator star&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;fitness regime&amp;quot; after he was snapped smoking a cigarette and eating tacos while on a bike ride.  According to reports, the actor then called Sharp and challenged her to a 12-mile bicycle ride through the city.  A video taken during the challenge shows Crowe in the lead, while Sharp struggles to keep up and eventually falls off her bicycle.  Speaking after the event, she said: &amp;quot;I was sliding exuberantly down the track when, with a thump, I came off the seat and landed painfully on the crossbar. &amp;quot;Yet he was gracious, concerned - the perfect gentleman as he rolled up my trousers to check my knee.&amp;quot; Crowe was also overheard telling Sharp that she was a better cyclist than director Baz Luhrmann.
