Hey halfmanhalfbiscuit,
I completely got it wrong about the medical field bit. I thought you were one of those people who likes to slip 'I'm a doctor' into the conversation. Sarcasm and irony can be difficult to convey in print. (I, for example, am hilarious in person.) I'm sorry for being a dick. Hardly ever happens.
And the Rapha thing was just bitterness at my failure to work people up into anti-Rapha torch wielding mobs.
And Half Man Half Biscuit, I was taking the piss. Which we must do with taste in bands. (They are shit though and I can probably help you with Spotify playlists and photographs of my record collection.)
You are spot on about the unfriendliness thing though. There's a good song by a good band (Fugazi; write it down) - You'd Make a Great Cop. It applies to large chunks of the London population (I'm part of it, but not that chunk). Especially cyclists for some reason. And on here it often comes with a worrying whiff of xenophobia.
I already said your bike's lovely, didn't I? It still is.
