@trouble asks:

Q5. Is there a fun personality in your area who cycles? Or does bike advocacy?

For example, in Portland, Oregon: https://www.unipiper.com/

@ascentale @trouble @bikenite there is/was Pink Brompton Lady who was a semi mythical figure in SCR circles (forum based stupidity before London got cycle lanes and some common sense). A late middle aged woman on a custom pink Brompton who could and would drop almost any roadie who was in the vicinity.

My fastest ever transit of Horseguards (Back of Downing Street so not inconspicuous but nice road surface & good vision) was trying to catch her - I was almost on her wheel when our paths split

@MatthewNewell
Never heard of her before (2016 is about when I started cycling again in London)

@jfparis @MatthewNewell @ascentale @trouble @bikenite same here.

I did see a similar figure when I first started commuting, although only the once. I was blowing bubbles by the end.
