Spotted...

That's the only spot of DC outside of a cycling related place ever. I have bumped into him at hill climbs and the bike show and in Ghent! but never out among the civilians.

What did he have in his basket, Andy?

Keys. And a VCL cap.

I can imagine him trawling the charity shops of Beckenham, but not the Waitrose! There's a perfectly good SaverCentre in Sydenham...

After months of not spotting anyone, this morning I had two spots that happened consecutively.

Firstly a chap on a chrome Bianchi jumping the red lights at junction where the strand meets Waterloo Bridge, I know you’re on here because you were wearing a black LFGSS cap with a blue strip.

And then moments later Emily, spotting me as I was vacantly riding through Covent Gardens. When are going to pop into my work next?

Spotted on the Northern Relief Road in Finchley this morning - a guy banging one out whilst stuck in traffic. I need mind bleach though I guess it's my own fault for being late and risking life and limb on that horrendous road...

Maybe he took the road name a bit too literally?

I bet it was Lucy. He's northern.

Followed a guy on an all sky/royal/gorgeous baby blue Mercian with Phil hubs from Peckham to OKR on the surrey canal path this morning.

Guy in pink trousers, striped jacket and a straw hat going down High Holborn. On a unicycle.

holloway rd yesterday.

mad props, nuff respect...so so soooo sweet

Prav!
...on his way back from Polo on Tuesday evening, about 11pm.
I was in TTT mode, on the HH with GG, on our way back from K1
You waved (i think)
...'cha !

A pair of spanners.

He on a khaki colored trick frame with deep dodici black rims wearing brown leather jacket with wayfarers she on a big ol dutch style bike with dark hair and shades too. Spanish accent, I think.

Dude, bar spins on the road are cool. If you're gonna jump reds fine but when you're beckoning someone else that's a little way back on a bike slower and less maneuverable than yours then it's not so cool especially as she looked as uncertain as she did.
Doing it through peds that have green is piss poor. (If you must jump be invisible whilst doing it.) You both stuck out out like sore thumbs and her excuse about doing it to 'get respect for myself' due to taxis cutting you up is garbage (though I know your english wasn't great). Get some training if you're having a hard time with road positioning.

Please stay safe

You were a vision of cycling elegance as always. It's easy to see why Chris DeBurgh was inspired to write his most famous, and most lovely, hit pop record.

Got cut up by a youngish Asian girl at an intersection on Marylebone road after my pathetic attempt at the hour of power. I was knackered so didn't say anything. She took off after the light changed and about a 150 metres down the road went all wobbly. She somehow managed to hit the concrete kerb repeatedly sending up an impressively sparky display, and scarily, whacked her helmet and upper body against the railing dividing traffic.

I was behind her and got there before she was up. She said she was okay and reassuringly was able to move all her limbs before taking off on the scooter now lacking most of the right side. I do suspect that she has at least a broken collarbone. She really bent at a scary angle when she hit that fence.

It was all very weird and the one time in the last 2 weeks that I wasn't riding with a camera.

1. JD on Old Street - I shouted "DAS!" first time for ages, because it was too late to grab his attention.

2. The whole North Set affiliated with LFGSS at LMNH watching me being caught first time ever without a spare nor pump (I was actually riding to pick up a mini pump from Henry and I thought it's not gonna kill me to leave without being prepared for a puncture)

3. Someone (Loic looky-likey to be precise) crashing into me while I slowed down to talk to Max. Are you ok, dude? Is your bike alright? I'll buy you a beer at some point to make it better.

1st bold: yes you did (on the internet).
2nd bold: epic fail.

some dude, near tower bridge, heading north. We nodded. Tonight at 6,,,

bloody nodders

Ian, I picked up your hardware.

kat, yesterday morning, on Broadway Market. Hello!

Snoops plus two... On London bridge about an hour ago... Frankly it could have been anyone I was wankered...

Also some guy in a 4x4 who was annoyed at me for not being in the cycle lane... I really wish I could find out who he was, because I laughed most of the way home at his powerless attempts to vent his spleen... He told me to pull over so I did, under the assumption that he wanted to get out of his car and have some fist-I-cufs... he slowed down and then thought better of it and tryed to drive off... Only to get caught in a midnight traffic jam. His swearing was so loud that it attracted the attention of those outside south Wimbledon tube just in time for them to hear me point out that Freud would have said his genitals were withered (ok, I meant to say that, but mostly I was out of breathe and waving my little finger at him)...

You, sir are a cunt, but I will be sober in the morning. Although I probably won't stop laughing at you for a couple of days.
