Well, taking a closer look at video. The bikes are Specialized, hard to tell if it is either the Tarmac Comp or Roubaix Expert. Very nice price too.

Saville was raced bikes as a semi pro in his younger days competeing in events like the Tour of Britain so I suppose he qualifies as a sportsman but then is disqualified for being a semi pro. :D

Not sure if Max Mosely would be a suitable role model.....?

Konnie Huq cycles to commute....

...though Huq is a personality rather then a pro sports type.

Motorbike racer Chris Walker "The Stalker" comes out on our club runs (he wears Assos and rides a Pinarello).

Graeme LeSaux rode a London league Cyclo-cross race.
