He cycled into hiding after escaping court as psychopath Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley.
And James Norton was back on his bike on Wednesday as he soaked up the sun on a jaunt in London.
The actor, 37, looked casual for the day as he wore a purple T-shirt and black jeans.
Wearing a matching bag on his back, the TV star completed his look with a pair of white sneakers.
Happy Valley fans will remember the scene where James’s character escaped court on a bicycle while on trial for a gang murder charge.

During the trial, he climbed over the coffin where criminals are held in the courtroom and fought his way out.
The criminal then quickly put on a cyclist’s disguise and cycled away from the scene into freedom.
James told Radio 4 about filming the scene in episode four where he escapes: ‘It was climbing high over the edge of the box!
“With the stunts you’re always full of adrenaline and you think you can do anything and then you do it and you think ouch!
“After I looked down and my leg was just bleeding. But the stunt looked great and it felt great.
“There’s an energy about Tommy. He’s an animal, a vital, unstoppable force, so when he lets it go it’s so much fun.”
Last month, James was seen jumping the red light near a police station as he whizzed through central London.
The actor, wearing a helmet, approached a cyclist on a rental bike as he crossed the white line into the yellow box where a car passed right of way in front of him.

The Highway Code states that cyclists, just like motorists, may not cross the last white stop line when the traffic light is red.
If caught, cyclists can face a fixed fine of £30.
Fines of £1,000 can be imposed for careless cycling, rising to £2,500 for dangerous cycling.
Last year, then-Secretary of Transportation Grant Shapps unveiled plans for a new law to prosecute dangerous cyclists.
James previously cycled around London for the Stroke Association in memory of his grandmother.
