Guiness and rum? Guiness and Red stripe? Jamesons and Red Stripe?
Was chasing the world's fastest hybrid up Farringdon road last night when my ridiculously worn rear Rubino finally went bang. I thought someone has thrown a firecracker at me at first till the fishtailing confirmed spectacular rubberfail. Friendly hybrid man offered me a tube so thanks friendly speedy hybrid man.
The rest of the walk home (up the great spice route) was like watching a cavalcade of fgss fun. The only one that sticks in the memory though is the dude in a white catlike on a new cinelli track bike... single speed with no rear brake at old street roundabout. He was blocking the bike lane by stopping behind the waiting traffic holding himself upright hanging on to a lamp post. double thumbs up.
