are cyclists getting weirder?

It's clearly a gimp who's been banned from driving.

And you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties....

It was Froome wanting to ride his bike in peace and quiet.

I think people in general are getting weirder - and some of them happen to ride bikes.

This morning saw a bike rider [looked like a tourist] wearing an all over head mask, yes his entire head covered in a black face shaped mask, like one of those fetish masks or as worn by rapists.

Cycle touring is all about going to places you wouldn't normally go to.

I don't think I'd want to go to wherever that guy was going to.
I live on part of the national cycle network /Wilts cycle way so am used to seeing all kinds of misfits on cycles, fanatic lycra types intent on going as fast as they can on a 6ft wide lane with lots of blind corners, harvest time soon, that'll be fun, whole families on bikes they have just bought and will probably never use again, the reborn cyclist in his dotage intent on proving his time trial days are not over, and his panting oap missus 1/4mile behind. Office bonding event days are fun, when again all the new bikes come out and I lean on the gate listening to them discussing office politics as they wobble along.... All part of the rich tapestry of life.

But never seen one wearing a fetish bag on his head. Or is it that none of you lot get round my way?

But I suppose he could have been wearing one of these over a balaclava

"One of the stories tells how a band of smugglers would hide their illegal bounty brought in by narrow boat under the canal bridge. On the night of a full moon, they took their rakes and went to fish out one of the barrels of rum, but they were caught in the act by the militia. They avoided arrest by claiming to be out ‘Moonraking’, the reflection of the full moon being clearly seen in the water!"
