• Anyone else play commute bingo?

    It was just something I did unawares but it seems to have solidified and I would like some help with this

    So far my categories are:

    nodders
    ripped dude on a cinelli fixie- usually see one
    surprisingly fit cyclist- someone seemingly unfit but going moving at speed; kinda rare
    Suicidal pedestrian- at least one a day

    Couple of new ones:

    I seem to be seeing a lot skateboarders, on ss of course, with a skateboard on the front rack

    my latest is BSB- big squeaky bicycle. The bike must be at least two sizes above what is required for the cyclist plus, the squeak must be audible for an as yet to be agreed distance- you gotta be able to hear them coming

  • surprisingly fit cyclist- someone seemingly unfit but going moving at speed

    This so much. I got razzed on my touring bike, going a steady 17 down a straight road by a builder, complete with hard hat on a Halfords special. I thought he'd tire, but he didn't. Lost sight of him!
