iainr73 Okay am getting the hang of it now! It doesn't really matter as long as you are out there riding and having fun!
This is a mantra I often live by.
Fuck fast, fuck brakeless, fuck fixed etc... unless you feel the need to have these things to have fun, in which case go for it. If you're ridding a squeaky £49.99 for two half ton MTB with full suspension and plenty of rust... but you're having fun, then you're the kinda person I want to know. If you laugh at someone for riding a fixed wheel bike with brakes then you probably aren't. Go back to reading Vice or The Face or whatever.
DISCLAIMER: I've been to the pub drinking schooners of Coopers. Although I can still type amazingly well.
40 year old Roadies are fair game though. :D Especially the prick today who decided to jump the que whilst waiting at the lights and put himself infront of me (he was clearly more important than me). I hate shit like that, its just rude. I bet he wouldn't have done it if I had a fancy spaceship/midlife crisis bike like his and was head to toe in lycra (not that there's anything wrong in that). It's not as if he was going faster than me (before or after the lights).
Also the 40 year old roadie who sailed through a red light whilst me and another cyclist were patiently waiting. His bike may have been worth way more than both of ours combined but he's also almost twice my age and should know better. Giving the rest of us a bad name. Cunt.Rant over.

Ah I only like superficial people, the shallower the better. If your threads are not slick, your bike cool and your music underground you're sh!t to me.

Ya know what? I used to like Coopers Pale Ale. It's shitloads better than CUB crap.
I had some at a bar in Hoxton the other night and it was actually kinda feral.
I think I've adjusted to euro beers and that's no bad thing! (until I return to Oz that is) -
photoben No as you were drinking in hoxton!
Yeah check it out, cracking brew. You fancy going to greenwich wed 3rd after work? Going to be drinking in the union then.Oh, I dunno.. didn't seem too bad. We'd been drinking all day already though and we were only there for a couple.
It's funny coz I had no idea where we were going and then I recognised these bars I'd been to 6 months ago! I wonder if I needed those brain cells?It's funny cos the Family Guy episode on is all about the guy getting hammered to play piano and killing off brain cells! It even had oompa loompas!
Wed 3rd? What's the Union? Special occasion or just getting drunk?

I'll only laugh when he crashes into someone else, probably because the accident will look hilarious. I take exception to him crashing into me, that's no laughing matter!
I don't particularly give a fuck whether someone has brakes or not, but i do give a fuck when they harm me because of it.
