BMMF on the Euston Road just now, helpfully not only wearing a forum cap but also a BMMF-branded messenger bag. Nice to meet you.
Hello - I'm a total brand whore.
@tommmmmmmmmm - it's possible that 'Matt' would've been contextually interpreted as 'mate', with the listener assuming you had some kind of articulatory fail, or that you were a forrun, or that it's how the /eI/ phoneme has morphed into /ae/ in contemporary Cockney pronunciation. Or something.

Betty and I saw a man with a forum cap in Clissold Park yesterday evening. We thought about DAS'ing but it seemed inappropriate as he was pushing a geared bike and was busy talking to a lady.
Belated hello to you, we were the two girls sitting on the grass giving your wicker picnic hamper extremely lustful looks.
Ha, weird, that was me! Brilliant. Morning!

NurseHoliday, yesterday morning, zooming through Kentish Town!
And again KT, 8.30am, was it you Cornelius Blackfoot?Oh hurro! I hope nobody spotted me yesterday evening in Kentish Town. I was drunk and having a very bad argument with Tesco staff. Very embarrassed of my drunken behaviour, need to learn more self-control...

Come on, who here rides a brakeless Charge Plug Racer with bare (poss. Nitto) bullhorns?

This morning spotted in Shoreditch, a whole raft of wankers on shiny new fixies jumping reds like there was no tomorrow. I saw a few epic bells on the way past Liverpool St, I was literally agog at the fuckwittery. Be careful out there kids; the fair weather hipsters are out in force.
Nice description :-D

Cool-looking (sexist?) girl on a singlespeed/fixed red Mercian with gumwalls with a nice blue Duluth backpack. I like your style!

Witnessed a shuffle of nodders* yesterday, all vying with one another to be the biggest twat. Highlights included, (but were not limited to):
Jumping red lights (nach)
Hurtling towards traffic that had the right of way, forcing them to swerve and apply brakes.
And then stopping just before actually entering the path of said traffic (and then giving the "what? what's your problem" look)
All three heading for the same non-existent gap, bumping into each other and almost falling over./csb
*Sorry Mr Schick

Triathlete.. Probably blown through all three of his C02 carts not knowing how to use them and waiting for wife to pick him up in the X5..
Thought it was a TT bike? He seemed to be doing more standing around than anything else. What were you riding?
Who knows, the thing was upside down when I whizzed by. Looked nice anyway. I was on the black fixed gazzetta, white pisspot helmet.

Was out practising my Ken bike trackstands (did I mention I had a problem?) and getting some gels and bars for my week off.
Gels and bars are a necessity. All that spinning in tiny gears really takes it out of you.

Got a surprised-sounding laugh yesterday morning for turning into Albert St from Delancey St in Camden. I pulled out to the right before doing a sweeping left-hand turn and I guess you'd caught me up. Sorry if I nearly took you out - I should've looked harder and indicated.
Also spotted someone wearing their helmet's ear pads this morning - what on earth I don't even? -

Many nods in Essex today, but it was all between us, roadies, so there's nothing to see.
Local spot, for local people.Although there was a couple of guys in black Rapha jerseys between Woodford and Eppig who looked like forumengers.
Haha, no, though I might add it to the repertoire.
