Spotted...

not spotted Loic getting a tow from me by holding onto my saddlebag! i was oblivious and thought i must have a flat or some mechanical problem. momentary despair gave way to mirth when i realised it was a gallic parasite. all's well that ends veLL(o).

Hehe! Someone called me the gallic parasite at south on monday, I was like, "What? Who?" then they mentionned that post of yours!
Sorry I scared you, but that was really funny... To all please note that it was not in the middle of E&C, but on a wide cycle route with no traffic, and it was a forum ride... Just clarifying before the safety police sends me to cycle training (again)

Szia!

To the gentleman (ridiculous faux fixie) idiot astride the grey Falcon last night, pootling eastward on Old Street.....

Sir, I have never seen such an idiot on our fair London streets. Permit me to congratulate you on your elegant and elaborate get-up, which seemed to be a ruse to con people into thinking that you are "cool". Sir, are not cool, nor could ever be cool. Before being cool, one must make every effort to not appear stupid, retarded, bereft of all sense at all.

DO fit a rear brake, since you were riding singlespeed and not fixed.
DO employ a system for foot-retention, since naked pedals will see you soon arse-over-tit.
Do use a U-lock of at the very, very, very least, 13mm thickness, insead of that most incredibly pathetic WHITE CABLE LOCK, that you had on proud display at the back of your rucksack.

If you wondered who the fatty that passed you at Old Street roundabout, and looked at you pointed and said *FAIL*, that was me. Get a grip mate. You are almost an accident waiting to happen, and I mean that in every sense.

Good luck Mr.Pretend-to-be-a-fixie-rider. You'll need it. Oh yes,and don't come bleating on here about how someone stole your precious bike, because with that lock, you can't possibly care that much about your bike at all. Have a great day.

why does he need foot retention if riding ss?

Is he riding a bicycle at all?

What did he do wrong? Apart from not look cool?

Benjam on the descent of le Col du Pont de Chelsea... Hope that thing goes well, I'm having a similar (but unplanned) chat with the top brass here today... gulp

Dammit, trackstanding, Borough. I yelled when I knew you couldn't see me.

La T4NY4-EESHA gliding over vauxhall bridge earlier - stealthiest DAS ever.

Next time I see you it will be even stealthier - the merest hint of the sound of 'DAS' will waft into your brain and by the time you realise I shall be gone.

You were hiding in the post box again?

Don't get the problem here

Roger Moore on a flight from Nice. Hero.

I saw Alan whicker in Guernsey airport 2 or 3 years ago

It's the "front brake only single speed" issue.

(front brake is more effective than rear brake, yes, I know)

I see, isn't there already a thread for that?

I liked the fact he rants about the lock, can anyone be anymore predictable as him?

did you hear me? please say you heard me. Otherwise I feel like a ruh-tard.

Oh, the sweet irony...

Sadly Ed, i have to agree with grumps on this one... Oh the shame :-(

Nah, not me. Though I could well have been in Jeans. i don't turn down any chance to have a bit of a race

Joe Slain (actually riding) north over CHelsea Bridge this morning. Rare spot, great to see you fellah

why does he need foot retention if riding ss?

I got ahead of myself. Yes, you're right, its not essential for him at all. I cannot defend myself from this faux pas.

Is he riding a bicycle at all?

Good point.

I was in silly-mode. I didn't actually care about Mr.Pretend at all.

I liked the fact he rants about the lock, can anyone be anymore predictable as him?

Ed, don't be silly. I do sometimes point out that some people could do better, but normally,
NEVER outside of the Locks That Work thread. TS was right is his comment that followed yours.

This was the lock he had proudly on display, attached to the outside of his rucksack.
