riding a road cannondale - we had a right laugh and he's wearing a pair of shimano shoes like i had in the early 90's !

was just out on the motorbike running in new tyres and he nodded me down near his home in Strathdon - It'd have been rude to ignore him - He loves motorbikes.

Is he training for a trans Sahara ride? Makes me break out in a sweat just looking at his clothing choice

indeed - it was quite hot [for Scotland] , 22 deg C and he was somewhat over-dressed, however, I think he's used to hotter climes than me,...........

The Big Yin has been an avid cyclist for most of his life. Alot of his World Tour of Scotland was ridden on a roadie.

One of the funniest people on this earth (imo). He filmed a bit from the top of the northern tower of the Tyne Bridge for one of his shows. My boss banned me from speaking to him. ๐Ÿ™

I've spent time up there at a friends cottage and have seen Billy riding one of his toys, quite often his trike. Brilliant photo/post of the day and by the way, it's Strathdon, but you'll probably know that! ๐Ÿ˜‰
