  • Aha - solo jersey & dolan - I spotted you this morning. Can't remember exactly where, but somewhere round Clapham South. Unless it was last night. Anyway - rings a general bell.

    Will holler next time.

    That was me this a.m., I saw you on the lung-searing ascent that is Balham Hill. I think you were wearing a lfgss cap? Didn't spot the bike...

    The blue and white Solo gilet gives me a way - Des has one too...

  • Ah gotcha. That sounds right. I was a bit nonplussed by how busy it was this morning - cars and bikes - so not really on it.

    Hai!

  • fade in whitechapel, again

  • I think I must be pretty bad at this! Will pay more attention tomorrow morning.

    Also, DASed Clara this morning at barbican just after locking up my bike.

  • I'm usually on this when commuting:

    Will DAS you in future...

    Recognise the bike - did you ride a plug before? I've certainly spotted you a few times but only fleetingly, you don't hang about!

  • DJ giving it the beans on Goldhawk Road about twenty minutes ago.

    "Oi, oi" to you too Sir!

  • Just spotted a bloke on a Dolan Precursa with purple drop bar and brakeless installed and riding what look like a high GI in Wimbledon of all place

  • brakeless installed and riding what look like a high GI in Wimbledon of all place

    hard as fuck

    edit: their attitude towards life not username

  • fit!

    Way too many RLJs on ped green lights with mid-road peds today, mainly between Angel and Traf Square. One guy on a boris bike with his headphones on. A massive c*nt. And a barely better guy on a ss with the worst pedal / bb screech ever, wearing shades on a rainy morning, but not italian, also dodging peds crossing on green like a twat.

    lol

    He's going to attempt to break the record for longest distance cycled (JOGLE) with an anatomical skeleton on a tandem for charity. http://www.skeletonfund.com/ #shamelessplugformyskeleton

    cool, anyone riding JOGLE gets respect but surely that particular 'record' could be broken with a lap of RP?

  • Spotted Andypancake going down Commercial road on a 14bikeco SS mixte, and a guy who i rode most of the way from whitechapel to limehouse with on a fixed Condor Pista...

  • cool, anyone riding JOGLE gets respect but surely that particular 'record' could be broken with a lap of RP?

    Apparently the current record is 437 miles, and might as well add an extra few hundred miles to make sure you keep it for a while...

  • Someone on Oxford Street today on a Cinelli with a large foam tube looking rear fender. Respect to you.

  • Hipster with massive 'fro sticking out from under a yellow fluoro cap + messenger bag riding like a complete twat. fixed, with straps with a brake on the front, that's all I could see (white bike?).

    I would like to stress that this is not me.

  • We know. Fluoro is so last year.

  • Fro's are cool though.

  • ^woo hooo

    This was me. I'm a new member but have snooped around the forum for a while. Thanks for offering to be a witness. I already had two cyclists and a bus driver as witnesses who each confirmed the licence plate as you have quoted it. Sadly the police have said they can't identify the driver so aren't taking it forward. This seems odd to me given that they have a licence plate, it was a minicab and had a fare in the back. Worst news is that my beloved Condor Pista is a write off. I'm very upset by the whole thing but trying to move on.

    Wow...
    I look forward to hearing how this has been followed up, good luck :(

  • I would like to stress that this is not me.

    of course not! he was riding, not fixing punctures!

  • Blackandblue - really sorry to hear about this. If you need to borrow a spare bike, PM me. I was only recently thinking I had not seen you for a while in Kennington.

    Cheers. I have other bikes, albeit geared, so I'm fine for now.

    Glad to hear you didn't get injured, but as James says it's a total disgrace. This wasn't a little argument - it was shockingly violent. I am gobsmacked if the police won't do anything.

    I still have a very clear memory of it so PM me if you need witnesses for a private prosecution or somesuch. Really hope you take this further

    Thanks again. I think I'll get in touch with Oliver for some advice. It was an upsetting experience. I still can't quite believe he drove at me and over my bike (with a fare in the back and in front of so many people) [that sentence stands even without the words in brackets...]. Mind you, not all passers by were sympathetic, if you can believe that either.
