I was being a Nodder yesterday, on my pashley/dutch/cargo/pub bike, and took great pleasure in keeping a couple of fixed riders spinning in my wake, who the moment they realised they couldnt pass me despite spinning their hearts out, had the red mist descend, and took too overtaking me in the ASL, only for me to take them later.
thats the way to do it,
stealthy, silent, but with full power on, so you just KNOW their heart are jumping out of their mouths, whilst the years of riding in your legs just calmly finishes them off.
Whos gives what bike your on when you can do that. -

you may not care about your bike, but i do.
How would you know either way?
Just get your mum to pay for your repairs, if you were given enough money to get the bike built for you with carbon forks, then I imagine she can afford a pair of forks and a new front wheel for you. You can always pay someone else to do the repairs too.
You're giving out about the "nodder" in the fluoro, yet despite his visibility you still managed to crash into him. He was on your right hand side at the junction too so you should have been looking. In that situation it sounds like you were more in the wrong. I'd learn how to apply pressure with your hand on the brake lever if I were you. Maybe your parents were right after all in saying the bike was too dangerous for you.
IMHO the mob of commuters on the road is to be welcomed. Long may it grow and prosper. If this is what people are bitching about rather than boy racers in their hot hatches then its definitely a sign of progress.

Safety in numbers!(though i do occasionally get a nostalgic twinge to the days when we were the only 3 cyclists in london and were considered to be doing something edgy and subversive and crazy)

Nodders ?
- not really nodding , more a side to side swagger sort of thing like they are going up a steep hill when there is no hill.

I don't know what impression you have of me. She won't pay for the repairs you silly sausage :P . I wasn't given any money to build the bike up, I paid for it all (bar the forks) myself, and I got the money from working. The forks were a mega awesome gift from a friend of mine. There is no way I would be able to afford new ones any time soon.
Why would I pay someone else to do the repairs? I can tell you I would enjoy fixing my bike a lot more than getting someone else to do it. Unfortunately I can't fix the forks myself, I think the crack goes straight through the shoulder of the fork, in which case I doubt it can be fixed.You're giving out about the "nodder" in the fluoro, yet despite his visibility you still managed to crash into him. He was on your right hand side at the junction too so you should have been looking. In that situation it sounds like you were more in the wrong.
He crashed into me, and I'm sorry but in case you haven't noticed light coming of florescent clothing can't penetrate through wooden fences.
It wasn't a junction, it was simply an area that had tarmac over the ground, and there was plenty of room for him to pass through, but he swerved the wrong way, he swerved right instead of the way you're meant to (left, in case you didn't know).I'd learn how to apply pressure with your hand on the brake lever if I were you. Maybe your parents were right after all in saying the bike was too dangerous for you.
Yeah you're right you see I have no hands so I can't pull the brake lever, and maybe that's why my parents think riding a bike is too dangerous for me. Do you think you could teach me how to use the brake? See I cycle down a massive S-shaped hill road everyday, and I manage to use the brake quite well going down there IMO, but you're obviously a pro braker, so could you teach me?

No idea why you're trying to blame it all on him.
Sorry to hear you fubar'd your ride, hope it's not too expensive a lesson.

if you go the same way every day you take it for granted to certain extent you'll have a easy uneventful ride. In that type of situation with inexperiened cyclist i just pull out my crucifix and shout 'the power of christ compels you'

This posting is a load of elitist shit. Worst of all coming from a youngster.
Not everyone is going to be a hyper trendy fixed gear cyclist with mad skillz.
Were you somehow born into being an expert cyclist?Deal with it. Bikes get damaged through wear and tear and the occasional collision.
Nobody got hurt. The end.Err, the other rider clearly didn't give way. Would you react like that if the other rider would have been a car?

The Noddergeddon is coming!
This crisp morning, a Nod scout party was spotted in the west, making their way slowly but with maximum effort and maximum RLJ, towards London central. Beware the Great Nod!
No, Oliver, we can't all just get along.
