That the cyclist was performing at a surprisingly high level was felt by people. That's a train wreck of a sentence, of course, but it's grammatical, if all you want to do is apply Passive. The sentence would almost instantly be Extraposed, though, to put the heavy subject back at the end: It was felt that the cyclist was performing at a surprisingly high level. And of course you can dump the agent phrase by people, because who else would have felt that way?
