  • this morning 8:40-ish while waiting at a red light red on old street / curtain rd I spotted a chap in cap and shades on a large blue frame with Alfina fork and black risers, riding no hands in the middle of the road.
    as he slowly passed me and the other stationary bikes he threw a look of utter contempt to every rider at the lights, he then RLJ'd passed an on coming car and pulled a one handed wheelie down the middle of the empty road!
    the shape of this cut a perfect V in the distance, like he was telling us all to fuck off!
    I felt like I had just been slapped in the face!

    I'm sure ive seen this guy and bike couriering in soho, although this morning he didn't look like he had a radio etc. if you're on here mate you got the skills! and a very sexy looking front wheel, whatever it is!

    once, i was just trackstanding at some lights. he comes next to me. trackstands, but with one hand. being a child, i then go to one hand also. he then sits up, no handed. i reciprocate. he then does a backwards circle, and goes up on his back wheel and back down. i just replied, 'yep, fair enough'.

    although definitely a twat. i've never seen anyone that comes near to what he can do. but that could be because most people don't flout it relentlessly.
