Just curious. Everytime I speak to someone who lives in Croydon I say 'do you know Marco'? Everyone has said 'yes'. Now its alongshot and Croydon must have a population of over 200,000 souls but how many on here know Marco?

yes, I have met him in the flesh a few times rather than just 'knowing' him as someone who posts on the internet

Oh that Marco? A blast from the dim and distant past of Bikemagic...yes I know him for his internet-stardom...so that puts me firmly in the 'I have heard of Marco' and I'd like to change my 5 answer to 1 as I actually do!

Is 'the pirate'? If it is then I don't know him, if it isn't I still don't know him, and I've never been to Croydon.

I don't care what hes like on the net. In person hes a top bloke, amusing as well. I sold some forks this week- saw the buyers address and thought I'd ask (everyone else had said yep)- and he said yep too.

Yes. I remember hes taste in £3 end-of-sale cycling clothing. Jeeesus he makes my old tshirts and ripped shorts look 'factory' 😯 😆

Last time I saw him he was riding round Thetford with a boombox on a rear rack & speakers on his bars. That was some time ago though, I don't think he's still there.

I remember him from the beginning of the century - just before he broke himself running a marathon.
Saw him about 2 months ago out on t'hills - came round a corner and there he was with his gang of merry men........

Well you obviously don't cycle anywhere within one hour's drive from Croydon then

I keep meaning to go and join in on one of the addiscombe club runs, especially considering that I actually do live in addiscombe! I always seem to be away biking or busy, so haven't got around to it.

I ride on the north downs a lot.. I do a lot of evening rides from Reigate Hill... but I've never seen anyone fitting the descriptions above.

e_l - we might be out in the Surrey Hills for an epic on Saturday. I think I've got Aidan's phone number somewhere. If you're out?
