Scary screaming cycling lady (the London Banshee)

There is a long history of nutters attaching themselves to bikes. Does anyone remember captin Southfields, I think his name was John. He would stop you in the street and tell you that " they" should build a big wall for the kids to play ball against plus other socail reform banter.

Southfields John is a legend, especially when he's in costume. He lives around the corner and I've seen him variously dressed in a pair of tiny shorts, or as:

Father Christmas
Henley Regatta Straw Boater Type
Top Hatted Victorian Gent

He's always got a bike around too, although I've only seen it used as a prop after four cans of special brew. Bellows "Have a nice day" at anyone and anything that moves.

Actually a nice character to have about when the tennis hordes appear each summer.
