was quite amused, and impressed

any of you lot?
was driving back from nottingham today in my van in the left lane of two lanes on my side of mansfield road, and all of a sudden in my wing mirror i notice a roadie in full lycra 'team' tights comes tearing through and darts through the approx 2 foot gap between the right side of my van and the car to the right of me.
He then sits for a bit to cycle up to the roundabout , before standing up on a honk again to absolutely hoof it round the roundabout at probably about 25-30mph, cutting up several cars darting between lanes but without really sloiwng them down, ...
...then cycles slightly more gently down gregory boulevard for a bit, and then sees a road on the right that he wants to turn into, and there is a car coming the opposite direction semi-blocking it waiting at a pelican crossing, with its offside front wing about 18 inches away from where the kerb turns -
..so what does he do? he gets in the WRONG lane and cycles STRAIGHT AT the front of the waiting car , i almost thought he was going to do a jump over his bonnet!, but was probably actually so he didn't set off and block him further, ...
...then while still caning it at about 20-25mph just flicks the bike right into the gap between the car's front wing and the kerb! was whipping it round like it was a stunt bike almost.
thought it was quite dangerous initially but the way he just flicked the bike round was awesome! obviously very used to riding in traffic (and dominating it!)
if it's anybody on here muchos respectos! (but be careful!)
