Best Panning Shot

I have not had a lot of previous experience with panning ( almost zero) but I am fairly happy with the shot below. The person and bike  are reasonably sharp, yet there is some movement in the legs and feet. I think it looks odd if the moving subject is perfectly still throughout ,whilst the background appears to move behind them.

( I have lost count of how many people have asked me why I am taking photos in the park. They are not trying to stop me - they are just curious. )

Delay

After a week of being ill with the flu, followed by a week of not feeling up to it, followed by 5 days of being unable to manage the camera, due to a bee sting to the wrist, for which I am now on antibiotics and antihistamine, I am hoping that I will be able to take some photographs this weekend !!
