Seen anyone famous whilst cycling?

I bought the secondhand Bianchi that was being ridden by the guy who allegedly called Boris Johnson a fat b*stard during the Ride London last year.

He denied having said it, but yet more image endorsing publicity for our esteemed Major of London.

Does that count.

(taps fingers) Still waiting for one of you to recount how you went on a bike ride, and got overtaken by Victoria Pendleton (hopefully while you were using a helmet camera?).

I used to see Herbie Hyde fairly regularly when I lived over that way.

A volkswagen beetle must take some hiding, and he's obviously not good at it if you kept seeing him!

Maybe stealth jogging was not his thing. Someone said that his place was up for sale. Can't say that I blame him after that chap was killed there.

The chap who allegedly called Boris names did not such thing, so I am told. I groom his Mother's dog and she said that he was very upset by that allegation. She said that they had a nice chat and that her son was complimenting him on the Boris Bikes.

It's a small, small world

I thought I saw Scarlett Johansson next to me, then remembered I was just cycling riverside

He said pretty much the same thing to me although, in the press, Boris did call him a Gollum like creature!

Caused one or two problems with his local cycle club apparently,(the original allegation obviously, not his apparent resemblance to Gollum!)

I'm not picking on Boris, but it does emphasise just how well certain politicians and/or celebrities can manipulate the media to their own ends!

By the way Bob, had to have the rear wheel on that Bianchi completely rebuilt. Can I have a refund?

All on the same ride this year: I saw Charles and Camilla, President Obama, President Putin, David Cameron, plus the heads of state from Canada, New Zealand, France, Spain, and umpteen other nations.
I was out on the bike near Pegasus Bridge on the 70th anniversary of D-Day when I came upon a massive traffic queue, so cycled to the front of it whereupon I reached a roundabout and my progress was halted by the Gendarmes.
About 10 minutes later, along came a convoy containing all the above. To say I actually "saw" them might be a slight exaggeration due to the blacked out windows on all the cars, but they were there; somewhere! Security was heavy duty for Putin and Obama in particular. Each of their convoys consisted of about 20 vehicles with armed guards sitting at the open doors of blacked out vans.

The start of one of the VIP convoys containing someone impo'tent:

Chas and Camilla weren't part of the convoy, but I saw them earlier boarding HMS Richmond. No Brittany ferries for them!
