First two from me (no photos I'm afraid
):
1. Garratt Lane turning into Fountain Road. I turned right into the road ahead of a bike turning left. He passed me quite quickly, despite being an older bloke dressed in ordinary clothes. Not a surprise, particularly - I've not been worrying any TT record holders today. I noticed the man was riding an Airnimal - Chameleon, I think. But it had a big rear hub, and something on top of the main tube. It became apparent when he started to 'freewheel' - it had electric assist, which I thought was very interesting for a high-end folder. He turned into the grounds of St Georges Hospital.
2. Parked next to me at the Sheffield Stands east side of Tooting Broadway (OK, I didn't travel far today - what do you want - blood?). A lichen green bike, with 531 stickers on the forks, and a mixture of Shimano components (RSX & Tiagra). No head badge visible, and the rust was showing through the paint all over, but the conical seatstays looked pretty classy. I'd resigned myself to not knowing what it was, when, from a distance, as the light caught it, I saw the faint remains of the lettering 'Witcomb'. I smiled & rode away.
