    Thats Nik Bowdler.
    I gues that he can pedal reasonably well as his time trial time sfor 10,25,50 and 100 miles respectively are :

    19:29, 50:40, 1:45:47 and 3:43:50.

    Yes, but I pity his knees. Can he walk without a zimmerframe? :wink:

    If the wheels are 650, then he would need a bigger chainring than normal - but that still looks MASSIVE !

    Shoes aren't odd at all - they are just the Nike overshoes. Very aero indeeed.

    Nik won a bronze medal int he National 12 recently so is a very handy rider indeed. He's well known for his big chainrings - apparently he just finds himself faster with that size.

    I think what was meant was that the left overshoe does not match ;)

    Good spot :oops: !

    Maybe his washing machine does to overshoes what mine does to socks?

    Very strange.
