rode nearly all the way closely following that that oft-spotted but never spoken to beardy be-capped bloke on the pompino with leather bar tape, brooks, mudguards and carradice saddlebag. still stylish sir.
also another regular spot, mister fixie rayban twinspok. it was the same guy that had to fend off the back of a bus with his hands last summer at angel following comedy brakless fail. this morning i passed him on essex road as he was fiddling with his ipod. then as i was waiting at the lights at angel with about half a dozen others he came barelling up on the wrong side of the road just as the lights changed to let pedestrians cross, people scattered as he weaved though from the wrong direction at full speed and turned left into city road. here the pedestrian traffic was too much for him and he executed a frantic-out-of-control skid stop to inadvertant endo combo. he gathered himself while assembled cyclists (including beardy pompinio dude) shook their heads in shame and disbelief. i shouted "you cock!" at him, but he had his headphones in and had started off again.
