That would have to be Graeme Obree. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20773#post-356267 Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:28:27 +0000 LaidBack 356267@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't answer all these M5 related superhero scenarios.<br /> What I will say is flowing capes and bikes / brakes can have mishaps.<br /> @solfiesroad2Glasgow has had one I think. Their guide also had lock cut and bike stolen near Manchester. Weather is grim.<br /> Things could go either way as they head north!</p> <p>Pedal on Parliament also had link to other road bike group heading over the Cheviot towards Peebles and on to Glasgow around now. Need to find that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20773#post-356266 Thu, 28 Oct 2021 23:07:19 +0000 jss 356266@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Of course you would need to change the current M5 steerer set to superman handle bars first!<br /> Ed Pratt ( unfortunate name) who unicycled around the world a couple of years back ,met up with crazy Englishman in superman costume also cycling the globe (on conventional bike)in aid of various good causes<br /> Good videos on YouTube<br /> If you are superman on your M5 and laid back is robin, what am I on mine?<br /> Just a geriatric trying to go as fast as possible with the least possible effort<br /> At least mine is black ,but does it make me super grandpa.? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20773#post-356221 Wed, 27 Oct 2021 18:53:06 +0000 nobrakes 356221@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“Dressed as superheroes”</p> <p>I had an idea to get a Batman costume and race the Tour of Britain peloton along the A7 in Stow on the m5. If he was ever going to ride a bike it would be a black m5… Pavement too bumpy though. Also too small a run out at the crossroads.</p> <p>Next time. You can be Robin on yours :) Batman couldn’t possibly ride a blue one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20773#post-356213 Wed, 27 Oct 2021 17:31:36 +0000 LaidBack 356213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are a few groups I believe.</p> <p>One en route right now is @Solfie - came in through Dover.<br /> 3 x Babboe cargobikes with assist. One solar so bit of an art thing. Dressed as superheroes. </p> <p>Passing back through Edinburgh next week on return to NL.</p> <p>They just went through model cycle city Birmingham. I warned them in email that no amount of cycling in NL can prepare them for fantasy Island.</p> <p>Instagram link<br /> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgVyxoLytp/?utm_medium=copy_link" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgVyxoLytp/?utm_medium=copy_link</a></p> <p>"Birmingham was a real nightmare. Never experienced such poor infrastructure and bike unfriendliness. </p>
