A fixed idea

yesterday while I was enjoying (a few too many) weekend starter pints after work in the
Viaduct Pub just off Old Baileys on newgate st. a crowd of 8 to 10 fixed riders passed by at arround 8pm
Was that any of you lot ? Did not look very smelly cat race to me. But what do I know..just curious,

its just of a reflex, selective perception kind a thing I can not help
Once the eye spots a aestheticly pleasing (gearless) rear hub ya head turns round.

its like skaters looking for grindable kerbs, photographers looking for good light
windsurfers look at the clouds ...or whatever anarchical endeavour i.e 'fixed' idea
it may be one pursuits. German holds a brilliant word for it : "automatisierte Endhandlung"

aye the race started at about 9 though probably a bunch iof riders heading to the old street roundabout area
or a bit of the critical mass ride that had got lost ?

hehehe the first time i got lost it was coz i started fiollowing some fixed riders that just left the mass,
then i asked: are you guys sure this is the right way?
and they said : where to we just left the mass
me:.....shit!!
