The "proper" cyclist I caught this morning
Expensive lightweight bike - check
Plastic lid - check
Racing jersey - check
Retina-searing yellow cycling-branded cover on backpack - check
Lycra shorts - check
Natty clip-on cycling shoes - check
Looking over his shoulder before pulling out round potholes - er, no
Ditto when pulling out around parked cars - er, no
Ditto when turning right onto Rectory Road (without signalling, natch) - again, no
He was most surprised/put out when an ol' boy in polo shirt, cargo shorts and battered old trainers, came breezing past him on a folder*
*after doing a quick shoulder-check to see if it was safe to pull out around him.
