Jason Quealy lives opposite our house so I suppose that doesn't really count. Wiggo once turned up at a local TT and is often glimpsed in the local lanes

Might have helped your Googling if CockneyMark could spell the word "catastrophe"...
It comes to something when a displaced Northern vulgarian needs to point that out...
Until that picture emerged, that garden centre cafe had banned all cyclists just because of the road closures for the velethonYou'd be hard pressed to beat Tim Bishop's moment in the cafe!!

I heard about that but didn't realise it was the same garden centre.

Then there was his tyre changing exploit in Tottenham Hale.
Although he does seem to have a bit of a 'side' to him when interviewed on the telly.

Sports people can't win. Be inoffensive and bland and "They've got no personality". Tell it like they see it and "They're arrogant dickheads".
See any SPOTY thread for confirmation.

I recall once I was passed in the opposite direction by a guy who was being motor-paced, and had a support car following him at close quarters (this was on the Herts/Essex border).
I don't remember whether there was any logos or anything, but I did think that the setup seemed a bit extravagant for even the most gifted of amateurs so in my head he was a Pro!

One of the Yates brothers at the tea rooms Heptonstall, West Yorkshire. A great place to have a stop in a wonderful (and testing) area for cycling.
I think it was 2014. No I don't remember which one, but the names were on the bikes and I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn't want to bother him.
Edit: I see that OP asked specifically for more obscure sightings, sorry. In my defense this was before Adam and Simon broke big in Le Tour.
The hill going up to that cafe is horrible, and not made much easier by the 100 yards or so of cobbles at the end. Plus it rained when I did it...

Must have been especially hard on t'butcher's bike wi' clogs on.
Though it was good exercise for your whippet.

I have some very old mates who live in Heptonstall (as in I've known them a long time) and a few years back they would regularly ride up that hill from HB with one of their kids in a WeeRide.
