Spotted...

about 8.30 this morning on the old kent road, between tesco and lidl (or aldi, can't remember which one it is) a dude on a nice condor (kind of brushed aluminium look) in full rapha trousers, hat, bag and probably pants. nice looking bike.

also this morning saw the dude that rides his BJ down dartmouth road in forest hill every day. black bj with sweet bars - if you're on here, what bars are those? I was on a black surly doing my best to defensivly ride with my mrs - the traffic was not good and it makes her nervous.

CrazyJames walking MikeC's old roadrat down great eastern st this arvo.
you looked lost.

Haha I had about 4 hours sleep the night before, not lost, more delerious from exhaustion I think!
Had my first proper ride on it this morning, awesomeness :)
I'm gonna treat this one nice :p

hey ed, yes as jonny said, i was also having a little fossic through our prize box from sunday, as we never looked at them.

I never seem to cycle with anyone - whats wrong with me? Do I leave too late/come home too early? I'm just going to start high 5ing randoms.

What's your route, or should it be obvious from the trail of soup?

To the guy on the Charge Plug who pulled out on me on Long Lane/West Smithfield this morning: I have right of way - use your fucking brake, you prick.

I must spread some soup around before I can give you more soup... :D

What are you on about Joe? Take the fucking pills ;^)

some guy on a motorbike on acre lane nodding and pointing intensely at the coach and horses. said hello at the clapham common lights - i was on the blue elswick!

I have been, maybe they've stopped working... :o

Greetings folks,
I spotted and chatted with the lovely Clefty this morning at the lights outside Oval tube. Great to see you and lovely new bike...
Give thanks,
Tim

is it wrong to want to high 5 people at bus stops?

^no, but it's harder than you think

no.

Shit wools, that's messy.

Good luck it was your fork rather than your leg, shitty luck that is should be either.

I high 5'd a suit at a bus stop once. it was awesome, and made better by the fact he was really pissed off.

I recommend you high five anyone who is trying to flag a bus down.

@damo - you'd have to stand up to high five most people though, no? ;p

Oriental lad at wandsworth roundabout

for the love of god - don't turn into the bus lane from traffic like that, I don't think you realise how close you were to being twatted by that motorbike

probably didn't help that your handlebars were less than the width of your hands [there's a reason why form follows function] but you didnt' even look fella, thought I was going to be scraping you off the road

anyways, ride safe…

1+ I lost count of how many time I high five people on bus stop, althought I have the fear of them grabbing my hand and pulled me off the bike, so I only high five girls.

I love you, Ed... :D

yeah, but i think i may have to be careful not to go full power when i high five. the guns are so big now, i reckon i'd pull their arm off....

Ha ha... can you leave the soup out of this - it has a thread of its own.
I head down brixton rd, right at the war museum then over blackfriars and up to barbican. No one cycles this route - its like everyone keeps going and I turn off (obviously on their way to jobs far better than mine).

I always wave and say hello when someone's trying to flag a cab down.

Or shout 'hiiii fiiiive' in my best Borat voice. But never actually try to high five them.

that sound like a better route than the one I'm currently one, gotta look into this.

Count yourself lucky flower. The number of utter cunts in the Bishopsgate cluster-fuck of a morning is outrageous.

None with a helmet and none with any control. Like herding fucking cats!

That bit of Old Street that's closed, just before the big crossroads, is an absolute balls-up, because no cars means bike-users think they can do what they want, including cutting the hell up out of me.
