"Hi am a cheeetair!"

[swee'pea99]

Got decisively scalped on my way back from swimming, by a bloke on a hybrid who was fair flying along, without any obvious signs of great effort. I managed to catch up with him at the lights, and noticed as I pulled up the big battery attached to the frame. When I commented, to the effect that I don't get burned off like that very often, he gave me a big smile and said, in some kind of latin accent "Yess, hi am a cheeetair!" (I'm pretty sure he was talking the verb rather than the animal.)

Tis the future for us all as we grow older and then one day according to a bloke on R2 we will become part human part machine.

Roadies get really miffed when I pass them uphill on the Trike.

Ditto youngsters on MTBs.

I passed a bloke on a mountain bike going up hill on my Hybrid he looked a lot fitter than me too ( I carry a little extra timber probably enough to stock a B&Q) and it felt great. However I thought later I don't know his story he might be at the back end of a 50 miler.

I've never passed anyone on my bike.

Wind?

I heard part of that, but I'm sure I heard him on Radio 4?


Been done already

When I go uphill I'm a real pantair....

That brings back memories "We can rebuild him".
He may have been on R4 but I was listening to him on the Simon Mayo show where he does a book of the week spot or something like that.
