He's been conspicuously funny over the last week or so. What's going on, eh?

4/5, a new bike; 5/2, a natural high from spinning.[/quote]

Very astute. My list would be:

• mild (but manic) depressive episode, compounded by physiological illness, therefore 3 days off work.
  
• spending a couple of long days with my son, including some weird entertainment.
  
• natural high (aka free iPod nano) from spinning.
  
• uncertainty about employment future.
  
• new bike (aka retail therapy) - it's arriving in dribs and drabs. You'd all hate it. It's not fixed, it's not steel, and it's not horizontal top tube geometry. Fuck you all.
  

that top tube better slop the right way (towards the bars)

Spotted Mashton at the lights on Cavendish Street, yesterday morning.

chris crash that top tube better slop the right way (towards the bars)

Only when leaning round a bend on the way to a pub.

so who was the phantom lycra shorts over jeans man?

Spotted andyf this morning, somewhere in kennington, I was far enough away not to see the black eye – glad you are on the mend dude

Rapha cap (black with pink strip) man trackstanding in the bike lane, facing the wrong way on Theobalds outside the Cochrane. I went around you. What the hell were you doing?

Fleabilly going west in front of Dazed & Confused

The Cinelli Vigorelli I saw in Lewisham a few weeks ago at Lancaster Place/Strand lights bunny-hopping off the pavement on a Spinergy front wheel.

it's the mating dance of the westernus hipsterist , should be avoided at all cost!!

@ Wayne - busted.

@ Dale - I know I turned up at polo but hipster? Hardly.

@ roxy, spotted you heading West on Oxford St yesterday just before 6pm.

I shouted, but that only made me look like a weirdo to all of the tourists and shoppers.

Saw someone riding a dark blue frame (couldn't see what it was) with red anodised deep v's just past the 333 building last nite, nice bike.

I was at earls court exhibition centre today, saw a well worn blue thing with bullhorns in the bike rack.

and and older gentleman on a white track bike (bullhorns) rather bloody-mindedly avoiding the arm (quite literally) of security. Presumably to get to the better bike parking underground and not the shitstand I got directed to.

Respect to you, brother.

bigben OK for the benefit of an east londoner what's the terrain like in RP? If its only 6 miles per lap must be well hilly from the way you guys talk about it.

Saw a sweet lady on some sort of light blue ladies bike but with a fg and matching yellow tyres/saddle around new Oxford st-looked cool...

Today i saw jonny outside the gallery i was working in, which made my brain do a bit of a somersault. Talk about coincidence!

Today i also did not see my friends, because they weren't in their house which i'd just ridden to, brakeless, with dodgy cranks, for no real reason. Next time i shall phone ahead.

Today i also also saw aidan (turd) but before anyone complains, i was on a bus and he was heading the other way with typical panache*. Hello where applicable!

*read 'complete and unabashed ferocity'.

adoubletap The Cinelli Vigorelli I saw in Lewisham a few weeks ago at Lancaster Place/Strand lights bunny-hopping off the pavement on a Spinergy front wheel.

thats me! that wheel makes a weird sound when i do that

is it a loud crack or pop?

Some geezer on a scruffy Viscount conversion with bullhorns, was with me from Barnes to New King's Road.

After I had pulled a couple of little skids to stop at a junction, he pulled up next to me and said "of course it all depends whether you think wearing out tyres is more expensive than front brake pads..."

Cheeky fuck.
