    Cliff Notes – Simon Cowell sparks concern with outfit choice during London bike ride

    • Simon Cowell was spotted cycling in South London during a heatwave, wearing white shorts and a puffer jacket, prompting confusion among onlookers.
    • Despite two serious bike accidents in recent years, Cowell expressed his continued passion for cycling, stating he feels lucky to have recovered and remains committed to the hobby.
    • The unexpected encounter with fans showcased Cowell’s approachable nature, as he engaged in light-hearted conversation while riding.

    Simon Cowell sparks concern with outfit choice during London bike ride

    Simon Cowell has baffled everyone with his bike-riding attire.

    The talent show judge was spotted by fans cruising around South London amid the heatwave, which has seen temperatures reach their hottest of the year thus far.

    But despite the 34°C blaze, which has seen health alerts issued across the country, Simon appeared to be dressing for a totally different season.

    Captured by TikTok user @plus44unrulyfluffy, the X Factor mogul cycled in Wandsworth wearing some weather-appropriate white shorts and a totally not weather-appropriate, erm, puffer jacket.

    The BGT judge completed his cycling look with his signature black shades.

    And he seemed more than happy to pause his ride for a chat with the group who just happened to be sitting in their car, window rolled down.

    Totally elated at the unexpected encounter, one guy behind the camera is heard declaring: ‘Yes, Simon!’

    ‘Are you really on your bike? I can’t believe it,’ a girl screamed.

    ‘Why are you like this?’, she asked him, to which Simon smiled: ‘What?’

    ‘On your bike, are you not scared?’, she quizzed.

    ‘Well, I got lost, but it is quicker,’ Simon replied.

    ‘Please, just go with God, OK?’, the fan added as the hysterical interaction continued.

    ‘I will, promise,’ Simon beamed, flashing a wave and a thumbs up before cycling off.

    The whole situation was bananas, to say the least, and viewers in the comments were left in stitches, particularly given what he was wearing at a time when the rest of us are in tank tops and swimwear.

    ‘why does he have a PUFFER jacket in this weather’, wrote a puzzled @00unknownuser001.

    ‘A puffer in this weather is crazy’, echoed @dontreportedifuge.

    @kttnt_ added: ‘whys he just out? no security? 😭’

    ‘He seemed absolutely delighted with that interaction too 😭’, laughed @northernchill12, with plenty of others loving how ‘wholesome’ it was.

    Equally amused, @simpleeeteee said: ‘He stopped like he just saw his aunty and uncle in traffic tooo funny 😅’

    Others commented to say they’ve seen Simon out in the capital on his bike numerous times, just blending in with other commuters.

    He now rides with confidence; however, it took Simon a while to get back to leisurely cycling after an accident in 2020.

    The America’s Got Talent judge broke his back in August that year after he fell off an electric bike that he was testing at his home in California.

    He required intense surgery, which included having a metal rod inserted into his back to stabilise it.

    Then, in 2022, Simon, who is a proud dad to 11-year-old Eric, suffered a second serious crash, after which he admitted he was ‘lucky to survive’.

    Just 18 months after his first incident, Simon went over on the road near his west London home, having made a sharp turn around a corner in wet conditions and felt the bike go ‘out from under’ him.

    He was sent crashing to the ground, having been going at a speed of around 20mph.

    Simon was rushed to hospital and suffered a broken arm, a badly bruised cheek, and possible concussion.

    Thankfully, it did not lessen his love for riding, as, when asked if he would be giving up the hobby, he said in an interview later on: ‘I’m still gonna stay on my bike. I’m obsessed with these things.’

    The ordeals also gave Simon a new outlook, as he later shared to The Sun that he ‘was so close to living the rest of [his] life in a wheelchair.’

    ‘It gives you a completely different outlook on life. In a positive way,’ he said. ‘It hurt—trust me—when it ­happened, but good things happened off the back of it.’
