Seen anyone famous whilst cycling?

Hi all, I'm lucky to live near Windsor Great Park and regularly use its roads to get away from the traffic. One day I was coming down to the Mill Lane (Belvedere Arms) exit and saw a small silver haired lady driving the first of two Range Rovers who were entering the park. I slowed to make sure I passed them safely and saw it was none other than The Queen!
Just wondered if anyone else had seen famous folks on their rides? Or better, was any famous folk cycling?

I see Martin Shaw from time to time when I ride through his village. At least it looks like Martin Shaw, he might have a double to put off the paparazzi

He's right. Close the thread.

On Thursday nights on my ride home, I keep seeing someone who looks just like Luther Blissett jogging towards me. Does that count?

Alan Sugar passed me in his Bentley somewhere near Brentwood many moons before he became a cyclist himself. I'd like to think it was the sight of my tanned, slim figure that inspired him.
