Spotted...

I changed back to clips and straps this weekend so I could wear some 'normal' shoes. I'm putting the Aliums back on tonight, burning my Sylvans and keeping a pair of these in my pocket when I want to go out dancing. Clipless for-the-frickin'-win.

I reckon so, after getting them set up properly, and getting my shoes sorted etc for my legs, I am mega in love with my cliplessness!
Everything is just easier, more efficient, and skidding is a piece of piss compared to clips/straps.

I've switched back to Atac Aliums after getting fed up of carrying a spare pair of shoes and switching to clips and straps and I must say I've fallen in love all over again.

Spotted last night on Farringdon Road, a lady cruising along on a SS multicoloured Condor with rear Spok.

saturday, just after dark i was leaving downham and turning toward the south when i got a nice smile from a girl on a ss/fg being followed by her chap It was far too dark but that kind of simple, "hey, ooh another bike rider" smile is nice.
Sunday afternoon Bmmf and Tynan on clerkenwell rd (?) he was "allright"

Selim, working hard collecting a package from my workplace.

@Brendan - I was concentrating hard, as you tend to do when escorting an over-active 3-year-old on a micro-scooter across Old St (not Clerkenwell Rd).

That was a very responsible skid stop, BTW. It's so refreshing to see someone ***not ***riding like a twat on a fixie-type bicycle.

Outside Wholefoods on Parkway on Sunday afternoon, a nice tall person wearing sidis and a big bag and with a blue frame, approached the lamp-post where I was unlocking my bike, just as I was leaving. You said, 'may I join you?' I was thoroughly impressed with your manners, young* man. Give yourself a biscuit.

*ish

Nice to see another - a rarity in the area I live - proper fixie skidder ;-) Bombing through the traffic jam on Romford Rd., Stratford around 6PM.
It was too dark to see anything, but there're some fluo green deep-vs, messenger bag, d-lock and possibly a Condor cap?

Slamm this morning on the OKR.

George sportif and sorethroat looking for university clunge while i was enjoying a pint with maxcrowe

Hope your hunt was succesful guys

Unsuccessful in that we found no student bodies. Successful in that we had a nice ride to Richmond and back. Unsuccessful in that I fucked my knee (Probably due to the cold). But again successful in riding all the way home one legged from Big Ben!!!! Nice to meet you guys.

Also, spotted another fixie skidder on our way out. Probs around Putney area? Green frame, drops, chrome bag, longish hair, ohoc, gsoh, for fun, frolicks.... oh wait, sorry, not the gumtree singles page. There were 3 of us, you overtook going up a slight hill.

Clunge!! Underused word.

Hi to the girl on pug conversion I rode with from Oxford st to Notting Hill last night. You need to change those batts in your back light (as i mentioned)!

@Brendan - I was concentrating hard, as you tend to do when escorting an over-active 3-year-old on a micro-scooter across Old St.

exactly what my thoughts of you were, the last thing you need to be doing when your telling your 3 years old to concentrate on crossing properly is start breaking the rules yourself.

George, what day was this? Girl or boy?
Sort of meets my discription and i would be super stoked if ive been spotted...

Meant to mention this earlier, but Forum Stalwart PJ(PJ) in Bristol this weekend.

The man is a witch, as I'd just come onto here (via the lovely Mac shop in Brizzle) asking whether anyone had his phone number anymore, when lo, two minutes down the road, I spot a yellow Bob Jackson being unlocked by the familiar PJ figure.

He looks and sounds much healthier than he did when he lived in London! Anyway, he's talking about coming back up to the city, for a visit, maybe to coincide with Cornelius Hotfoottingitaroundtheworld's leaving do.

On top of that, lots of Bristol HipsterFixieSkidders at the SW Regional Rollapaluza heats.
