Best one of me I've found from the day so far. (I'm the chap on the left with the blue timbuk2 bag)

Completely forgot about this one Sparky! Thanks!!

I just happened to be on Jermyn street with my family at the time everyone set off - as a bystander it looked brilliant, London needs lot's more of this kind of event.

I'm posting on here though because of the serious *hole cabbie who was blowing a gasket, threatening the marshals and onlookers where the road was blocked at Jermyn St. He must have been there all of 30s before he started getting abusive, he got out and tried to wrestle with someone at one point, then got back in his cab and started to drive it into the marshals, everyone was yelling at him and he backed down. When some bloke on the pavement told him to calm down he got a mouthful of abuse and threats, all in front of the kids and other onlookers.

All the while the marshals were very, very calm, mostly apologising and asking him to be patient - huge respect to them.

I'm generally pretty tolerant of drivers and other peoples behaviour on the roads, we all eventually have to get on and I think things are slowly moving in the right direction, vast improvement to how things were 20 years or so ago at any rate. However, when you see someone behaving like this I just think they are a danger to us all and belong in the past, and off the roads. Seriously, enough of them!

So if anyone else saw this incident and wants to report it, I got the details below.
You can fill out a form here: https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/contact/pco/

Hiii All !
What an amazingly fun day! Great to meet so many lovely people and hopefully will bump into some of you again...at the 50 fixed ladies : )

I was also pushed over by a black cab near Haymarket (not the above incident) and would like to report it. A chap in tweed attire (bah!) was going to post the details for me......help are you out there?!

Cheers

What a wonderful day out. While riding back to Waterloo station we got a couple of people shouting out to us congratulating us for taking part in the Tweed Run. I'm in a couple of the pictures, but only as indistinct background fodder.

Thanks to all officials for the organisation and everyone else for an amazing day out. Great to meet so many fine upstanding people.

Might have been Sparky, he mentioned something like this?

cheesecake, your bicycle was most impressive! i kept wishing you'd to start the motor up.

Lucy have you found your bicycle at the end?

What a wonderful day, if a little warm for tweed. well done to all 800 of you for hanging out in style.

At last, there I am on the left with a carnation in my buttonhole. I suspect not dapper enough to warrant much attention. Will be at least 50% more dapper next year.

Are we allowed to start new threads for pictures? If so, I'd like to submit this one for the Cad's Gallery.

Lucy have you found your bicycle at the end?

Oh no, not LCC Lucy? Last time I saw it, it was in the safe parking basketball court (we moved it from outside the pub) next to my bike - I walked in and saw Lucy in there and am sure I told her we moved it.
Hope all is ok.

Yo!

Yeah, superb picture!! First time I like an areospoke, hehe!

I don't know, when we left Lucy (LCC Lucy) could not find her bike, she was still looking for it when we left...

Loic

What happened, JD?

Did anyone else have a chat with the two Mason's who turned up at the Bathhouse? I'm fairly sure that they horned in on the free gin, the cheeky blighters. Mind you, I heard that they booked one of our number for a comedy show so the karmic balance is restored.

What happened, JD?

Long story. Wont fill up this thread with details

Might have been Sparky, he mentioned something like this?

I was also right near you/Sparky when it happened, the video he got should be pretty helpful.

That's horrible. I hope you're able to take it to it's full completion.

What is it with people that they can not be held up for 4mins? If there was a break down causing an even longer delay would they start effing and blinding at the engine of the vehicle??

Anyways, what an awesome day. I owe an apology for not reading the online notifications re denim. MUST TRY HARDER.
