I don't think that's the same sort of thing I was talking about. It's low resolution on the Web, but your photo looks to me like a thing where fast moving stuff is blurry while slow moving stuff isn't (so much). You were targeting the cyclist's head, so it stayed pretty stationary ... he (or the surface) probably twitched the handle bars, thus wheels, a little during the exposure. The effect I'm talking about is clearly "circular" when you see it. I'll try to dig up an instance from my archives. It's only really noticable when the frame is pretty much filled with a single car, and then only at larger sizes (1024 x 768 video or 5 x 7 print). It just looks like the ends are rotating around the focus point. Like, if you ignore all the background stuff, it looks like the car was mounted on a post and turning about the focus point.
