This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Yes that's him!

I spy a similar looking type on the upper richmond road occasionally. Also rocks too many layers, full face and all the racks as he crawls along on his dawes touring machine.

Always sets off in the lowest gear and does at least 30 seconds at 150rpm (and 8kph) before changing gear. Usually see him on the New King's Road going towards Putney in the evenings.

Going the other way in the morning there's often Full-on Crabon Guy with Cosmic Carbone wheelset and Copilot child's bike seat somehow attached.

I'll also nominate 'Bolt Upright 25mph Man' (westbound on Chelsea Embankment in the evenings) as another favourite. He's got some back problem that means he needs ALL THE STACK HEIGHTS! but still manages a good clip despite having what must be a ludicrous CdA.

can we include 'self amused fixie forum twat'

for balance, obvs

self amused fixie forum twat with 650b wheels

I swear his stack used to be larger and his bars had less rise. In my memories he holds his arms high and narrow like a child impersonating a rabbit, so that when viewed from behind it looked like he was riding no handed.
