Spotted...

Some LFGSS folk at the Cycle Show. Nice to see familiar faces after a month of absence.
Thanks for the company on The way back, Sumo ( where's Reeen?!).
Sozz for being geared, but need a new seat clamp's bolt. Should've bought one at Earls Court.

Was he in a black cab? Yeah, I've definitely spotted him before.

;^)

The last time I've seen him, he was driving a night bus.

Me getting a puncture at regent street and being too much of a cnut to carry a spare inner tube and having to walk me bike back to peckham. Help please!

Welcome back Dude!

me finally home after almost two hours of walking my bike! at least i remembered normal shoes and didnt have to walk all the way in my sidis!

I feel for ya mate (would've helped but already in Wimbledon by the time you posted).

A good alternative would be getting a couple bin bag from the cornershop, disassembled your bike enough to make it into a smaller package, wrap bin bag, and then hop into a bus.

Alas i also forgot all my tools (got a new bag today and didnt sort my shit out) which made me feel like a tool.
Saw many taxis and buses passing me but powered on via foot and after two monster energy drinks I was steaming
through south london! did an ultimate joeslain!

lfgss hat wearing chap at 14 this afternoon on a folding bike, i dassed you going up the road, dasses were forthcoming! on said foldy no less! good day to you sirrah.

It was a pleasure, sir.
Cheating with a back brake, but what the hell :-)

Is Corny back?!!?!

Friday evening would have been a good time to spot andyp as I gave myself a flat tire before Horniman Museum hill when I tried to pump it up and forgot that I need an adapter for my presta valve. Yay. Walked home over Overhill Road thinking Emilia would be home, but no go. That shit's steeper than I realized!

Exactly, kids will often do that because they feel embarrassed waiting at the light while the grown up jumped it as if it's perfectly normal.

Ed, if they're teeny tiny kids it's more likely they think they're supposed to go, or it's ok to go, because an adult has gone.

Hoonz on shoreditch highstreet last night

sorry guys, i lost you lot at the trafalgar sq. dance through the statinary traffic. 3 went in only me came out the other end. i waited for 10min just before charing cross station aand continued on home.

none the less, thanks for tagging along for the ride.

Simply dozens of fixed riders on way out to Richmond Park and back and more fixed riders in the Park than I have seen before.

More importantly, Camilla O riding out to Richmond Park, doing a lap and then riding home. Her first long fixed ride. Around 35 miles. She bonked when we got to Clerkenwell a couple of miles from home and I was going to hail her a cab but she rallied and made it home. Proud father.

Pat her on the back for me. Looks like I'm gonna have to step Mal's training up a notch ;)

*I took a single bottle of water out today, no food. ~80k + 3 hill climbs = urgh, good one dickhead.

Draw full of inner tubes and a pump here, give me a shout next time.

Nice to meet you KLM we resolved the discussion and agreed that the best way to improve bike control is to play polo, get cycle training, go on rides and races, commute daily and spent time on the track, on a bmx and off road on a MTB.

'play polo, get cycle training, go on rides and races, commute daily and spent time on the track, on a bmx and off road on a MTB.'

...sounds good Skydancer - is that a 3 day course then? ;0)

^a lifetime course
