Spotted...

Just spotted the infamous Super High Stack Courier Bloke at speed on Tooley Street

@Antidotes on his new Duratec in Elephant

A cheery hello to @skydancer just as I was heading toward St.Pauls about half 5, was running late to meet a chum, good to see you Squire

Guy on a black Condor doing laps of Regents with a skull tattoo, was desperately trying to keep up on the pink Colnago.

Indeed good seeing you old chap. Was heading south. Perhaps see you at easts next week

Fixed or SS TTer out in Walton Reservoirs this eve. Mixed it up for a bit... Some cycle club me thinks...

Huh! Yup, nothing but seat post on a 60cm frame... I'm nothing but legs.

Good to see and roll with you @goonz this morning!

The one who chews gum and rides like an absolute fucking maniac? I've seen some risky riders on the streets but this guy literally rides into oncoming/sideways traffic and just seems to survive by making blind weaving turns. I've never been able to work it out

a possible @hanrob_ doing the diagonal across Bricklayers this AM?

Ah I missed you man, give me a shout next time!

Yeah that sounds about right. First time I saw him was weaving right across the road and up onto a kerb

Yep same, I was cycling down Rye Lane at rush hour (don't know if you know it) and it ends at a junction with the main road. He literally blazed straight forward and made three of the most nonchalantly death-humouring manoeuvres I've ever seen and was straight up the kerb on the other side. I was speechless

Just cycling up or down rye lane at any time is fun, isn't it? I've never known a road like it for people just blindly walking across the road without looking. It's worse even than Dalston Kingsland.

Walking in the middle of the road is an old South London pastime, I think. I go up Rye Lane every day and have just taken to treating it as some kind of advanced bike handling test

Haha, the rye lane bike path is a thing of daily consternation. Even if I had a bell, it wouldn't help. The blank stares you get from people is wonderful.

I actually enjoy the 'rule of the jungle' feel of riding through Rye Lane or Deptford High Street.. much better that self-righteous rage you get from 'law abiding' people

Rye Lane's guaranteed to keep you on your toes. One day it's a lorry full of goat carcasses, the next it's a dude in a blacked out Mercedes coming to an abrupt, un-indicated stop to cat call a girl. Most interesting part of my commute.

It's a splendid part of London. Winds me up at times, but I loved it as soon as I moved down that way.

Hi! Trying out a new gearing, legs were not thanking me today.

did you have your cycle ps cap on? i spotted it when i was on the other side of bricklayers - morning!

Since there's almost no parking along there, it's not really a problem. You can see them. It's the buggers who pop out between cars, on streets where that parking is allowed, who are more lethal.

the "cycle lane" at the northern end that pedestrians walk in/on/over all the time ends me. but you're right, the lack of parking does mean that you mostly just breeze down it

that's the jobby, might give a shout next time.

There's a lot of walking out from behind / between buses, mind you.

There is some sort of parallel 'route' involving Bellenden Road, but alas I am too stupid to work out the one way system round there. I tried using it once and ended up in Dulwich
