You know you're fixed gear crazy when...

Yes Skully you're not posting in the correct thread if you wish to discuss kickstand aesthetics and modification.

such a great photo fred...

fred - I think this comment was originally about the photo with asm outside that happening he was at that time we bumped into him.... looking back in the thread...or am I wrong?

I'm not sure I would have said "such a great photo" to what is ostensibly a beautifully-photographed pair of thunderthighs involving themselves in the complexities of a one-handed tracksit..

..when you look at the London Eye and think 'hmm, I wonder how they service that hub'

you stop and admire your bike for a few minutes everytme you walk past.

. . . When you build a brand new bike, take photos of it, and post them on here before actually riding it in the sunshine!

When someone resurrects a thread from 8 months ago and the quote you! ;)

p.s. I really like this thread.

....when your Mrs catches you looking over to your bike in the corner of the room while you're watching TV while cuddling on the sofa

Guilty :(

You have a titanium wedding ring to keep the weight down

when you drunkenly ask an ex. girlfriend to pose provocitavely (and naked) with your bike for photos, claiming it will 'be really sexy' and she never views you in the same way again... :s

..when you look at the London Eye and think 'hmm, I wonder how they service that hub'

when you count the spokes on the London Eye and wonder what kind of cycling application it could be used for.

This post is useless without pictures.

if the escapade had resulted in actual pictures they would be hear. Sadly it didnt.

...you watch the whole of London Messangers at work

Last night I had a nightmare. I was cycling down Hammersmith Road and a nodder on a Brompton undertook me. I pedalled faster and overtook him, but within seconds he was undertaking me again, looking back and mocking me. So I overtook... and he undertook again. As in yer basic nightmare, no matter how hard I pedalled, there was nothing I could do. I woke up in a cold sweat at 5.30am and didn't get back to sleep :(

When you don't look at the London Eye at all because you're too busy flipping off a cabbie whilst skidding around the back of a BMW. .

when any other form of travelling, including walking, makes you nauseous

I had a nightmare last night... I woke up and I dreamed I had gears on my mountain bike.

...you notice a lockring on your can of Red Stripe (can't find a photo on google images)

...you're quietly pleased by the tight clearance between your toilet and the door instead of being annoyed at it

You show your girlfriend this thread on your phone in the pub, thinking she'll find it funny, and doesn't....

do you blame her?

And just nipping outside leaving her inside to pass over a pair of those crank things to furious tiles looking like a drug dealer coming back with £50.

No the "geek room" is not liked within the household.

... you get on a geared bike and freewheeling freaks you out for the whole ride.

When your wife finally looks in the barn and finds you have 9 bikes and you can't understand what the fuss is about???

heavens yes, everyone firmly lock up your barns!! :-)
