I worked on a pushbike as well and was completely amazed about the whole Fakenger thing. I met one at the Duke of York and didn’t realise until a friend pointed out they didn’t have a radio in their pouch, then I noticed they didn’t have the look or smell of someone who has done a rainy week on plot. I t must have been a rainy week as I was on a down part of the curve and was shocked anyone would want to pretend to do such a shit job.

I spent some time as a courier and found the whole “Live to Ride” waistcoat fake 1% thing quite offensive. Jeremy from accounts felt he could drop £14k on a bike, bandana and tassels and inspire fear/lust in the populace of Luton.
I now feel it’s a symptom of us valuing machismo, real or retailed, over more noble traits.
Don’t blame Jeremy or Harley it’s society’s fault.
