Wearing a high-visibility helmet and a rucksack, Colin Pitchfork could be any middle-aged cyclist enjoying the autumn sunshine.
But he is actually a convicted child killer, and to the horror of his victims' families and the detective who arrested him, the 61-year-old predator has been placed in a hostel just 200 yards from a school.
Pitchfork was given a life sentence in 1988 for the rape and murder of two 15-year-old girls, but was granted parole last month and secretly driven from prison to a hostel on the south coast.
