Riding down Lillie Road in Hammersmith towards Old Brompton road (just passed the traffic lights between Lillie Road and Fulham Palace Road) and some cheeky mofo on a white genesis, a flyer I think, thought he would overtake me.
On my Brompton I swiftly picked up the cadence and overtook said cheeky rider. And then the bastard overtook me at South Ken tube because of the bloody red traffic light and a car in the way, stopping me jumping it. :(
If you're on here, you really need to sort out your chain tension. It was rather loose, you could see how slack it was from a mile off.
Ok, I know I'm riding a Brompton (no way am I leaving my fix outside my uni hall overnight in London) but that doesn't mean I'm some slow old fart. I'd like to think I'm pretty fast :)
