Spotted...

That was RPM.

I must have missed it, but I did find the pain cave sanctuary climbing that short hill up to that Belgian pave section which I quite enjoyed. Thanks for the directions! Nice to see you.

Sat at the lights with a two forum people whose bikes I recognise from here and whose faces I recognise from Twitter but have never met or spoken with.

I would've liked to have said hello, but it made me feel like a weird stalker-ey type.

What is protocol for such situations?

Pretty sure I saw at least half of the LFGSS CC Attack riders heading home south yesterday. And I'm 99% sure I gave @amey the accidental stinkeye on Newington Causeway trying to see if I recognised him on that snot green coloured bike. Soz. Also good chat with @branwen who was looking a little tired. Let's sort out that ride to Paris!

63 miles on Satdee, me on ol' faithful Aldous + Mate on multigeared device. Not one sighting. These Face Tatt's are coming orf!

O rly? Very much a possibility. I was trying to shake the drafting mamil off me with very limited energy on the way home .. what bike were you on?

What is protocol for such situations?

That pretty much is the protocol, feel awkward at the time, come post about it here later.

What you could do is say something like "sweet fixie bro, you on the forum?"

I generally favour option 1.

So nothing much has changed since I was a teenager then.
Stare at your shoes for a bit, then go home and go online...?

I was walkenger, just before the roundabout. When in doubt I should just shout Do a Rapha and see if people look

I say fuck it! Chase em down and Shout at the top of your voice that you know them from 'on here'!!!!

Thats my modus operandi!!! Ask @soul :-) And now we're good mates

I was doing a DHB though

I spotted the most epic amount of Rapha on one guy today. The guy had the hot pink socks, the rucksack with pink highlights, team sky helmet, and what I think was the pro team race cape (in yellow). Probably had Rapha bibs on as well, but I was too far away to be sure.

^^ Classy motherfucker.

^ I don't know what to say about that outfit.

think i spoke to @spotter on saturday as I was heading over to do some Open House snooping. Do have a think about the 50m genesis day one alfine 8spd, for the lady, great commuter, hub gears, disc brakes, mudguard and rack mounts front and rear. And now in a female friendly 50cm..

Also today saw the lesser spotted @Dropout on the upper richmond road, looking very energised on this crisp autumn morning..

@Yukirin by streatham odeon with a new forum cap

Bearded Dude on a black Trek roadie in black with a skull tattoed on each calf this morning down Threadneedle St. On here?

@Clockwise in Streatham with a slightly crumpled £10 note.

"I've been wanking over your bike and your internet comments. Can I follow you properly?"

Yes that was me mate! Cheers, for the heads up on the Genesis, she actually looking at some similar things currently so I'll send it her way.

"I've been wanking over your bike and your internet comments. Can I follow you properly?"

Of course you can!
I'd be honoured.

You sure you didn't spot him across your loungeroom?

;)

"good mates"... I still have nightmares about that.

Shared an *on here? * stare with someone on Upper Richmond Road earlier. On here? (I was wearing rollaplz cap)

Green bike cycling through Soho Square. Carbon on the back, spok on the front. Couldn't DAS you because you were wearing headphones. Loser.

Chap on a pink track frame (Aventon?) with brake levers (SRAM S900?) but no brakes, by Westminster.
