Spotted...

If that's your red SE Draft locked up in N1 on a big main road (you know where I mean) I know it's not an expensive bike, but it looks quite nice - get a better lock!

oo the N attack last night on hipster cross roads
oo dude who lives with N attack this morning (pifko?)

That's picco Ray. Working (sitting around drinking tea) for Pink at the moment.

Nhatt in her living room the other night. Hope the new job is going nicely?

Robofoxx the other day, nice to see you too.

Tomasito in exactly the same spot as I saw Robofoxx. Lovely ride, man! Have fun in Devon.

Bumped into Wigan and his pal Ed the other day when taking the Lemon & Lime out for it's first test ride. Then happened to sell something on eBay, was collected at my gaff by the very same Ed. Not sure if he's on this forum? Weird how that sort of thing happens.

^ err bit too specific on location of unsafe locked bikes mate

On a similar note I spotted some nice bikes locked in dodgy places on my way in before 8am this morning.

If you have a green Bob Jackson with a TT protector in SE or a lo-pro with arrospok in Islington you are braver than most!

Great to see you Skully - those bikes sure did look pretty side by side! Where did you get your lovely mudguards?

Spotted a nice light green Bob Jackson locked up just off Soho square..

speaking of bob jacksons, i see a big red one locked up at london bridge most days. blue bar tape. anyones?

Yeah fox I would edit that post mate just in case some nasty tealeaf see's it.

guy with red frame and white spok at the lights by holborn this morning, we meet again. A nice red 3 rensho with a a yellow 5 gold saddle locked up by shaftsbury avenue and I believe julios charge just at the end of high holborn coming onto shaftsbury.

Done - sorry yes that was too specific, not really awake today. It has only appeared recently and does look new and would just need one t-leaf to be walking past. I might make some enquiries locally as I know a few of the business in the row of shops in question so might be able to speak to the owner.

Navy bike with stickers and a white tyre? I spotted you, even if you're thinking of someone else.

See you around, especially with your choice of leg wear.

that was me! i knew those gleaming leggings would get me spotted! hah. were you on the blue bike with the white rims? i was kind of behind you most of the way, but having severe traffic navigation fail this morning. hehe. hopefully i'll be a bit more awake next time!

spotted shinscar twice! last night on old ford rd for a chat, this morning as he smiled serenely in the sunshine on bethnal green rd. morning!

hmmm. did you have a heap of spoke cards? i think i spotted you whizz past me while i was sleepily dawdling around traffic & avoiding all the massive wheeled vehicles that were around this morning! i'm pretty sure the other guy i saw had a paler blue bike & white deep v's. anyhoo, say hello next time!

charge plug and a claud butler. both parked next to mine in a government building. anyone?

jail?

just seen this Thomas... they're Salmon Super Profil, the ones I'm always banging on about, painted when i got the frame done. They're pretty damn narrow!

Also spotted this morning in Bethnal Green: Geezer coming out of flat on Gossett Street, watched you razzing along the pavement on a yellow coversion with double spinergys (single speed), you're a neighbour of mine. Pretty blinging bike really, if not to my taste. Have you not heard about exploding spinergys?! Rather you than me.

Also spotted: Untold numbers of people with geared bikes trying to 'trackstand' at lights. I get the feeling they don't even realise that it's done my having a fixed drivetrain, not by slowly creeping forward a bit, wobbling, and backpedalling your freewheel a bit, and slowly creeping forward a bit, and wobbling ...

That's not a 'trackstand', then, I'd say, by virtue of not being performed on a track bike.

I don't think there's a word for it--'roadstand'? ;)

The effect is similar, of course.

you can trackstand a geared bike on a cambered road easy.

Only gimps do it though

I spotted this guy y'day an all... Only he was razzing through the reds at Holborn.

spotted a dark blue un-stickered gios (from the fork crowns) with an LCEF spokecard locked up next to my bike today at King's College..

Also a plethora of unipacks..

I do this, even on my now fixed bike :(

[EDIT]minus the freewheel, double plus for the wobbling

hell yeah I saw three lime green ones on the kings Rd at lunch.

Ooh - and a sweet little blue Mercian outside m&s

yesterday, St John st just north of Clerkenfixed: an old lady at a bus stop telling a cyclist off for riding too slowly and holding up the bus she was waiting to board.

i actually laughed out loud.

Woo! Spotted twice.

Enjoying work as I type. Hurray for nice bike shops!

nhatt, you work in brixton cycles right? did you spot my mum today? she said she came in and talked to ross about bromptons.

bless her socks, she's staying and making me tea and scrambled eggs until i can function again.

You always get the feeling the people on road bikes wonder what the fuck you're doing when you casually sit there, balancing magically, both feet still clipped in.
