Utter fixeh whopper in Chiswick on a stickered Cinelli Mash at 1pm today. Yes I called you out for riding like an idiot. Gutter riding, red light jumping, Bambi's first steps were more convincing than your track stand. It appears you struggle to get both feet into your pedal straps, you wobble and can barely control your speed. You have no fucking idea of what is behind you as you never look behind. Filtering up the inside of left indicating traffic, rolling through the red light and stopping across the mouth of the junction they are going to turn into was impressive, trying to take one hand off the bars while you wobbled in your track stand and had to put a foot down was fucking beautiful.
When called out you said you had been riding like that for 3 years and that I had to get it out of my mind that having a brake would make you safer! FFS you could barely handle your bike, you nervously wobble along at about 10mph and still pose a danger to yourself and those around you.
