I’ve see a few things that I have wanted to share with you guys for a while now and they have been building up. since I have found this forum & thread I feel like I’m commuting with you so thanks for that
there was a woman on a Pendleton type ‘ladies bike’ shunting it over Farringdon Bridge, like- I would have guessed she was a total snail but I had to work to keep up. she was doing the nod and everything & was dressed for the office
Uber eats cyclist on a carrera style MTB going west along the strand, I’d pass him only to meet up again at the next set of lights or traffic obstruction. it was like he was hardwired into the motion of the city, he cruised in perfect harmony and wasted no effort.
surly cross check, converted to single speed, hatever the biggest size those frames come in- it was that size. guy must have bought out all the stem raisers at his LBS, the bars were 10” off the top tube and the extenders were piled high. rear child seat, it clamped to the seat stays with a bracket and then it clamped to the chains stays too. this didn’t seem like a wise way to load?
as an aside, I have resolved just not to react at all to road incidents, it is kind of liberating, not being pissed off anymore
