Peter Taylor, 57, was drinking in The Royal Standard pub in Wandsworth, south London, when the cyclist went past on Friday evening.

The hedge fund boss, from Fulham, said: “There was smoke and flames coming from this pushbike under the rider. He hopped off, dumped the machine and sprinted to safety.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
