On a bike that is too big for him??

I've got burned a couple of times lately by a young chap fitting that description between Blake's Cross and Swords. On both occasions he passed me with his work boots and tracksuit bottoms flapping in the wind but I couldn't hold his wheel despite throwing the kitchen sink at him.

Didn't appear on Strava Fly By either.

Might be but he seems to be on Cruagh most evenings, this lad doesn't look like he's under too much pressure either.
Would try to chat with him but the headphones and the speed he passes me don't help

eeeee

I love this mystery person :pac:

Is that a lesser spotted left hand drive train?

I know who you're talking about, he's a former neighbour of mine. He goes out every evening up the hills.

Something funny looking about the handlebars too.

If he wasn't cross chaining and pulling the brakes he might have an easier time getting up that hill.

He's also got a fairly extreme cleat position, if they're even cleats.

Looks to me like a UK hill climb TTers bike. They love using cut off bars, old low pro bikes and down tube shifters to save weight.

the wheels look very spoke-heavy, but i think that's just the motion blur (which has been applied to the spokes but not the valves, seemingly)

No points for working out what team bus that is!

Trick question? (It shows the text to the tweet, featuring Team Sky)

You guys obviously don't know who this guy is:

Jack Bauer has been getting a lot of mentions on the Tour of Britain today.

Why am I disappointed that he doesn't look like Kiefer Sutherland?

Why is it a stupid name?
Are cycling teams not usually named after their sponsor?

It's the 'Team Sky', 'Team GB', etc that sounds stupid to me. If they were just called Sky it wouldn't sound stupid (to me); 'Team Sky' sounds like something out of Thunderbirds. Team Sky are go!

if someone paid me enough i wouldn't care what it was called

does that mean a cycle lane which blasts 'born slippy' at you constantly as a means of encouragement?

Orbital, not Underworld.

I'll get my coat.

The Gardai will be handing out cool glasses mounted lights instead of the ****ty dangly ones they give out elsewhere.

If they had their version of the Dr. Who theme tune blasting out I would be happy
