Was this you?
Old Kent road, 8.00 ish (possible a quarter past) this morning
If so, you had me fooled. You appeared (to a fool like me) to be something of a casual rider, perhaps even a bit of an old crumbly.
You were wearing jeans and a cardy, brown leather shoes, had a pannier, a set of mudguards and the usual paraphernalia that us commuters tend to strap to our bikes
The first clue that something else was going on was your rapid acceleration and speed (see vid below), followed by your bike control and confidence. Then upon closer inspection, I noticed;
Specialist shoes (disguised as city brogues)
Spotless bike (shiny rear cassette and hub)
Club Cap
Despite the amount of attachments (panniers gaurds etc) not a single rattle or sound from the bike…just a smooth hum
I wondered if you had full club lycra on under your cardy and so choose to refer to you as a CRID.
Club Rider In Disguise.
Nice moves, a cracking pace and one of those riders that you feel totally comfortable riding behind (lets face it, I had no hope of getting in front!) as everything they do is calm, ordered and predictable.
