Spotted: Marcus, flying past New Bronx Gate station - morning, Sir!
Also spotted- me having a big fncken stack this morning on the Chelsea Embankment, near Lots Road (at some speed). The cars run right in the gutter there anyway, so I am normally ready for it, but a car pushed me wide onto the newly painted double red lines (on the newly laid road bit), and my front wheel just slipped all over the place. I ended up on my anus (well - elbow, hip and shoulder) about 6 inches from the car in front of me's bumper. Fncken hell, if he wasn't concentrating, I would have been cactus. Scared the fnck out of me.
Lost a fair bit of bark, and I'm sore as fuck.
Don't ride near those red lines on the Embankment, if you can avoid it. (Captain Obvious, I know.)
