need a 50mm prime for E520

Hi Guys! I'm bluechair, you'll usually find me heckling noobs over on bikeradar.com... but here I am to be heckled myself.
I've just started some freelance writing but I'm required to send decent photos with the articles which means I need to start being my own photographer. Next weekend I'm covering a big article that I hope to be published but alot of it will depend on the photos that go with. I've previously owned a 350d so know the basics of manual control. That was passed on a few years back and I'm now on an Olympus E520.
Having spoken with a pro photographer, I have learnt that I will need a prime lens - i'll be up close capturing bikers, so fast shutter speeds and wide apertures needed. Can anyone help me find a lens as though I have no prior experience to purchasing lens'.
All of the fixed focal lengths that I can find say Macro - but a macro lens isn't what I'm after is it?

I'll be around more often now sharing photos, seeking advice etc. I'll start dropping up things for your 'critiques'
