I had the pleasure to witness the FASTEST cyclist I've ever seen on the roads. Now I know that I am equivalent to TopGear's Captain Slow, on a bike, but f*cking Mary and Joseph! That guy was FAST!
He first passed me on Lewisham Road (just south of Catford Market...we were heading north), but in just a few seconds, he was 100 metres clear of me and still gaining distance. I caught up with him twice, and the first time, shouted out You Are Fast! He obliged me twice more by showing me his ease at reaching max velocity.
In all the years of London riding, I have never ever seen anyone so fast. Sure, I get left behind by any good rider, but I also pass loads, that cannot ever catch me, so I'm not the worst.
If anyone sees this guy, race him, and come on here and say if you win. I owe whoever can do this, at least one pint. Seriously.
He's a smallish white guy, wearing white cycle shorts. Strong legged, though not especially powerful looking. He rode a Simplon bike, that looked a mixture of white and grey. His get away speed is slower than mine (I am strong in the legs), but in seconds, I was chewing dust. Mate, that was impressive! If it wasn't just for show, then I'd say he would give BMMF, hippy, and even Vaidas a run for their money.
