I see a guy most days who sprints, and I mean sprints, around the Gloucester Road area of Brizzle with a rollup censored in his hand. Wearing a fleece and old striped tracky bottoms. I have never seen anyone run like it before - he never tires, I always see him running with a roll up - I would not likie to do a marathon against this guy.

He is the Usain Bolt of smoking whilst running.....

Anyone that you see on your commute that is one of nature's special people?

There's a guy near where I live who runs in a seemingly aimless manner along the combined cycle / ped route in short bursts of about 50 yards each before turning round and repeating, numerous times per session. What makes him odd is that he's a real shiny dome baldy and does this topless wearing just a pair of shorts, all year round.

There is a guy who cycles with a a poorly maintained three-speed sturmy-archer bike . He also always wears a thick snorkel-type coat in all weathers.

When I passed him, yesterday,he was doing about 18mph, quite steadily.

I don't know how he manages with the heavy and hot clothes.

There is also "The Walking Woman" (a colleague's term) who is always wlaking between Disley and Hazel Grove whenever I go past.

There used to be a guy on a mobylette with camo clothes and a helmet like the stig. He wasn't special, just suprisingly amusing to look at.

For years we have had a woman who ran along part of my commute (I presume to work) carrying a backpack that was so badly adjusted it made her look like the hunchback of Notre Dame - I have always resisted the temptation to shout 'For f***s sake adjust your straps' - I think she's changed her job and now rides a shopper on a different route - hmm is this observation or stalking ?
