Etiquette advice

racist

gather the lynch mob tynan!

Probably some Langster rider with a funny accent. Bloody colonials! Think they know everything about sport.

56x11 Billy Boy, get it right, ya skinny-legged cyclotouristenger.

I point out stuff like "your light's dead", "your battery is flat", etc. Anything else I tend to let slide but then I'm usually moving too fast to analyse people's bike issues. ;)

I like white sox specially them ones that only just cover the ankle so any 'frenchie' looking bloke in spectackles givin me sartorial wot not is likely to get flea in the ear innit...like hop it

56x11??

you should always point out a slack chain, as you all seem to do anyway. its actually more of a safety concern than anything.

I once followed a bloke who have a slack chain for about 10 minutes (going on the same route as he is, you know, the long straight of Southampton Row), as I slow down and approach him casually mentioned the slack chain, turn out he's running singlespeed, just never stopped pedalling.

"so why do you keep pedalling thought?"

"people will assumed I'm riding a fixed wheels"

what the fuck?

You've lost me there Mr 14 ?! Is this some kind of code ?

Off the top of my head (yeah, right…)
Eton Society, also known as Pop. Over the years their power and privileges have grown.

Pop is the oldest self-electing society at Eton, although the rules were altered in 1987 and modified again in 2005 so that the new intake are not now elected solely by the existing year and a committee of masters. Members of Pop are entitled to wear checked spongebag trousers, and a waistcoat of their own choosing or design.
Historically, only members of Pop are entitled to furl their umbrellas or sit the wall on the long walk, in front of the main building. However, this tradition has died out. They also perform roles at many of the routine events of the school year including school plays, parents' evenings and other official events.
Notable ex-members of Pop include Prince William and Boris Johnson.
Though what 50/14 was getting at, I have no idea

i was overtaken by a man on a fillmore, and followed him for a while. (it was that thing where soomeone so desperately wants to be in front of you, you just let them) he was totally doing this. i told him 'you can pedal as much as you like, but it won't magically turn into a fixed wheel'. he looked sheepish.

People with freewheels are allowed to keep pedalling, you fascists.

they should be made to wear some kind of indication that they're actually riding single speed.maybe an arm band...

Maybe fixed riders who are proprietorial about not-coasting should wear an arm-band... with a swastika on it or something.

that don't get to choose.

Yeah !

People always have to point out the colour of the Langster, can't we move beyond this, can't we see the bike for what it is, not for the colour of it's powdercoat.

Good point tynan. Has anyone else noticed how the 'special' edition London Langster is predominantly white? This is clearly overt facism and utter racialism. Everyone knows London is incredibly ethnically diverse. To represent this more honestly the 'special' edition should have been a sort of yellowish beige.

Great idea!

exactly. I suggest that SS riders pedal constantly (as you suggest), except when at red lights when they have to pedal backwards constantly (whilst simultaneously trackstanding, obviously).

I like the sarky one 'oi mate where'd you get that brown chain from?'

skullhead - that's eventually going to elicit the response "oh yeah! glad you noticed. it's a ltd edition one, got it from blb to match my poo brown handlebar tape/saddle. Only cost £12,450!'
