Spotted...

^ not too much sense made without this...

... Nice morning for a ride, who needs showers?! ;]

Top tip. You need to learn to laugh at yourself more.

+1 or just take it over to Crooked Tongues, where people will actually give a shit...

They will if your laces are a bit wonky.

Mornin' Claus, nice to see you!

Chap on a bright orange singlespeed riding westbound at least half the length of Victoria Embankment on the pavement, today 8.50am. Naughty.

I think you are allowed to ride on the footpath there.

Spotted a bloke on a bullhorned red dolan as we made our way through the lovely traffic northbound through Earls Court this morning, and a guy who I see often on a taped Fuji track westcound down Chiswick High Road.
Oh and about a hundred others all over South London. It's spreading like a disease.
Everyone who started riding fixed after me is a noob/nodder, and everyone who rode one before me is a jaded cynical old snob, like the blokes who do the sound mixing at grotty pub gigs.
In the words of teh internets, "Im right and your all wrong".

Really? Where did you find that out? I should be interested to know. I might even do it if it's legal.

There are bike signs on the posts and bollards, and I think the cycle path actully deviates up onto it near Lupus St. I know that you can certainly do it from Lots Rd to Battersea Bridge.

I wouldn't bother though - it's bumpy as hell on those stone slabs.

spotted a chap on my train this tuesday. he had some of those rather large ear adornments rather similar to some african women, they appeared to make a rather large hole in the lobe region. then i noticed he was wearing jeans, not on a british rail train i hear you say, yes i say. not in first class with the chaps, but none the less, not really cricket i say. to compound it i noticed the afore mentioned jeans were casually rolled up exposing his ankles and begger me, not proper turn ups, neatly pressed, a bit of starch, oh no, merely rolled. i hate to say this but i think this sort of uncouth behaviour is best confind to more common forms of transport, such as pedal bicycles and the like. i appeal to one and all, chaps, if you must travel please a little decorum would not go amiss.

Spotted a white fixed with bar ends outside Strung Out last night.

well then "sneakers" are called trainers unless you're a yank

srsly?

Is this guy for real?

jaygee & veevee this morning. sorry to race off vv - needed to warm up. hope you avoided the squirrels in the park!

Heading towards Old Street roundabout, a yellow lo-pro Eddy Mercx. A thing of beauty sir, whoever you are.

The mean machine in question belongs to Teddy.

cheers mate! i was in my own world and didn't notice anyone else. was i singing my head off?

this morning about ten maybe ten past, guy cut off jeans, hand grenade beanie, riding a converted white bianchi, pink deep v's, blue michelin pro tyres over chelsea bridge, turned right towards vauxhall before I could say hi,

about ten twenty odd, high st kensington, guy on green track/path frame, I think from the rake on the forks, yellow bar tape or fork, polite nod was given between two fellow fixed riders.

a little bit later, up by notting hill, guy on surly steamroller, lots of mudguard action going on. followed him for a little way but never got alongside to acknowledge our biking kinship..

hey Teddy...
did u source another of those storage/rack tings ?
(Otters mentioned it last week)

yeah i only have two. i think they're spoken for though... so'z. i tried to get a whole bunch but it was all i could find. i'll get more next time i get back.

I was walking about with Soup talking about the most offensive thing I could dress up as to a Halloween party, but I still think you checked me out and maybe dropped a wink!

Turns out, Ian Huntley is answer.

I know flower, I was being a cunt, thus the wink I dropped at the bottom.

I went to a bad taste party once, there were two blonde girls in matching manchester united tops. didn't really get it. then about half way through the night it clicked.
Soham Murders.

Bad Taste indeed.

Ooof! Did they have subtle dark bruises and what not?

Flatmates are going as Gary Glitter and Madeline McCann. I like how they married the two unrelated stories.
