This may sound strange. I had a memory "snapshot" of a racer I knew bitd, riding backwards one day, but I as couldn't figure out how it would have happened, - where or when, or why we were riding together, (someone I looked up to, but didn't really knowwell), I just put it in the "hmm, did this really happen?" memory files.
Over time I became less sure of it as I couldn't remember the context. I physically lost my ability to compete successfully shortly thereafter, and didn't deal too well with it.Thanks for letting me put it back in the "yup, it happened, those were good times" files.
Thank you.

BTW, he was on a typical 1970's road racing bike.
