Spotted...

Someone on a really nice beige frame and red bar tape followed me from Clerkenwell Road-ish to the Tesco on Bow Road on Saturday afternoon. Well I don't know how far you went but I needed a drink so I stopped.

I also shouted do a skid at someone on a white frame on Clerkenwell heading the other direction. Don't think you heard me. It was sometime between 4 and 4.30 pm.

dapper chap with tweed jacket and red polo mallet this avro at the top of Regents Park. Also a very nice light grey frame with yellow deep Vs locked up near back of the British Museum - 2 lock method but both locks the same!

Mainly green and pink pinarello (maybe a colnago, something nice like that) checking his tyres by kingsway tunnel (?) near the strand. Around 2.30.

All black dolan track bike, front carbon 5 spoke by the looks of it, picadilly circus, around 10 past 2.

Cake this morning, as I was bombing it to work, and Emily and Aidan on my way home. Both on Kingsland Rd.

3 bikes in convoy, the last of which was a black(?) charge with green rims. Greenwich one way system about 12.30 today. Was tempted to tag along for a chat but was already 8 miles from home and you were heading in wrong direction.

Went to 14 for the first time...nice bits. Like the pursuit bike in the window!

Seemed to be lots of types hanging about. I was the sweaty one in the dodgy blue top and shorts.

spotted: an awful lot of fixed gear bikes. on brick lane.

No shit Teddy!

Mr Hillbilly this morning on the Chainring Cross Road - good concentration sir - didn't even clock me.

Is it just me or did they completely change the light sequence on the roundabout at Trafalgar square.

It certainly felt different - instead of one long stop at north-east corner - more stops but for shorter times going round was my impression; and for, the first that I can remember, red lights at the entrance to the Mall!

Good. Not just me then. I was wondering why traffic was extra heavy approaching the roundabout.

For a moment there I was getting worried that the anti-halluicinongenics had worn off.

As you were....

Vic at Old Street. Pickled Onion Monster Munch and a can of Irn Bru is what you need Love!

Also, a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "Real cyclists don't jump red lights" on the back. Make of this what you will.

Yes hullo Dan! It was nice to see you! Sorry for being so slow. My legs are soooo tired, I'm quite sure I only had three or four pints though.

this mornin'

Bal Ham, gateway to the south: clefty serenely emerging from a hive of yellow clad puffers at the lights.

I hope my mixture of menswear and racing clobber didn't offend you too much

Miss socksssssssss and some random dude on a charge I think? following closely behind, took me a second or two to clock you as I was just about to make a sprint for the green up ahead!

Yesterday, among the handful of SS riders with spinny gears, a guy on a red cross style fixed, doing the Hell of the North Cotswolds. Apparently he rode all the way up the 21% off road section. I think I may have to hang up my fixed and get a recumbent.

Corny's bike locked up outside the kings arms at 22:30 last night. Secret lemonade drinker.

morning james! it took me a while to clock you too, i was very concious of the pot hole looming in my path. i was actually thinking "what's this joker playing at coming straight for me as i ride on the wrong side of the road to avoid that hole..." then i realised it was you! haha. i've seen that dude a few times, i don't think it's a charge. something matt black & stickered up. man, his chain was slacker than mine!

teenslain was in the pub with some beautiful ladies and Il Ragazzo Morto, spagbol, snowy, BRM and Yeah, Andy!... Sorry about that... And my back is effed, so I couldn't ride tarck today... Missed you guys, we had major fun!

awesome day - i was munted.
i am glad poo turned up when he did, otherwise it would have been a slippery road back!

Carlton BABY!

:D

Nick in BLB... and the one and only dogsballs also in BLB sneaking out of the shadows to call me a hipster... and then silently disapearing again.
was in for 2 mins to see what they had in

socialamnesia, Buffalo Bill, BoBoB, jayee... All within about an hour of each other, Blimey!

Pigfarmer and chums outside the Hawley Arms on Saturday night. I was going to think up something funny to say but my lunch of Weetabix and coffee is repeating on me gurgle

Also, a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "Real cyclists don't jump red lights" on the back. Make of this what you will.

aaah... that's so sweet. nice to know some people are still earnest.

Camden saturday night:
An awesome Pearson curvy low pro with Campy Delta brakes that looked anodised greyish blue, carbon saddle, TT bars and GEARS! didn't clock what group he had on it but it was a beast. Briefly spoke while i was locking up.

Magpies flouro Pista a bit down the road, and then a really nice white Mercian (i think) singlespeed, with polished fenders locked up at the Constitution.
