I have seen God and he has a bike.

It's either God or the Ice King.

Cycling home tonight, I'm passing through the City Centre and come to the last set of lights I go through.

I'm all wrapped up warm in my over shoes, thermal gloves, tights, nightvision jacket, buff.

In front of me is a guy in a t-shirt and baggies. :shock: Rucksack on his back and an OLD road bike he's clipped into.

That's it. I'm sat there feeling the cold seeping through now I've stopped and am staring shocked at this guy.

The lights change and he's off. I desparately tried to keep up just to see what he was made of and he left me standing... keeping up with the traffic (30 limit and he's hitting it), he checks his 6, swings over and makes his turn right set of light while I'm still huffing up the incline.

I have met God and he wears a t-shirt.

The bloke wasn't old - looked probably early 30's tops... the bike was an old one... suicide shifters the lot 8)

He could really shift - I barely kept sight of him and I was **trying**

Reminds me, I saw an old boy out for a run this morning, 70 if he was a day, wearing baggy shorts and a loose fitting vest. I thought to myself "cover up - at least your knees - or you'll regret it in later li.. oh"

When I've been out in winter, wearing a winter sports top and trackies, I often get back and find theres "steam" coming off me I suppose this guy just "warmed up" on a long ride. 8)
