Spotted...

Spotted a guy on a front suspension mountain bike around Waterloo Bridge this morning with:

1. Double Arrospok awesomeness
   
2. A dog hanging out of a pouch on his back
   
   

You made my day, sir!

He's so rad. Used to work in the building next to me, the dachshund always looked so happy ears flapping in the wind.

And damn the guy is fast!

I've seen him too. What a legend

spotted a guy on a 'bern' helmet, dark round shades & on moustache bar at pratt street, camden today.. shouting loudly on a motorcyle guy at the stop.. are you here?

Clive, did I see you sat outside the Princess of Wales, on the canal the otherday?

Nope.

Decided to be sociable today and probably confused a LFGSS jersey clad gentlemen @ 8:45 on E&C roundabout by saying "Hello fella".

Hello!

8.45, oversleep?

central????????

The term is "central London" or "the centre of town" or "up west". One can also use "the West End" of "The City" as appropriate.

"Central" is a district of Hong Kong.

we also have mid town for the bit between city and west end, that could also be called central if you were suitably hipster.

spotted a chap wot goes under the moniker DoktorP round these here parts cotching at a traffic flow regulatory device emitting a blood red glare outside of the moar gate entrance to the subterranean tunnel system that traffics work slaves to their holding cells.

we exchanged sexy glances and a wave of the hands.

Spotted a girl at the bottom of Kensington High St on a pink conversion, with one of those horse-riding bicycle helmets, trackstanding like a pro. Kudos to you, young lady.

"midtown" is an estate agent's phrase from the 1980s which sought to rename the area known otherwise as Holborn.

The wonderful thing about London is that all the places within it were named as they developed. No need to rename thenm now. One name for each place and we all know where we are talking about.

Hipsters are allowed to rename anywhere, of course, as no one needs to know nor does anyone care what they are talking about.

Loads around EC1 as always.
Spoke to one guy on a black Cinelli steel frame heading east on city road, was wearing a helmet, had a european (Maybe Italian) accent, we spoke about our frames for a few mins at the lights, if your on here Hi! and once again lovely bike!
I was riding a chrome steel frame with drops and mismatched double spok.

Good to see you, did you have to wait long?

Nope, I bunged the doxy and we walked up about 10 minutes after we saw you.

Actually we didn't. We waited about half and hour longer.

Sparky on his sit-up-and-beg custom roadie heading toward central from Tooting.

Sit up and beg?! Was I not aerodynamically hunched down like a slightly-more-limber Bradley Wiggins? No? Oh well.

I was off to Clapham to pick up a friend then cycle to Brighton. Now I'm all sore and at my desk for a late shift.

So he got the "sit up and beg" and the "central" wrong but otherwise he did ok.

Spotted a lady on a cinelli Mash bolt at the elephant roundabout. Would've DAS'd but I was on the bus

bastard.

Spotted lots of roadies commuting on carbon wheels today.

Hah, you've got the 'look' perfect there, lol. MoN repped.

Xander if you're at home get yourself to dirty burger in Kentish Town, opening night so 50% off!

Xander does the casual look.

I just went past it but ive got food at home already. Stopped and picked up a takeaway menu for pizza east.
exciting to have that on my doorstep

I didn't cycle to work today because I have to go and meet MrsO afterwards and so was melancholically walking from the tube towards my office when all of a sudden my day became bright with the sight of the delightful MrsSocks on her bicycle. It was a pleasure and a joy to speak to you.

Lovely to chat to you too! You were lucky, I had almost woken up by then... haha.

You look a lots less aerodynamic than I am on my mum's bike.

Right. This is the bike Ed means, by the way: http://www.donhoubicycles.com/sparkys-2/

How was I sitting up and begging on that?

Ed's mum's bike:

Fair play.

Cupcakes spotted by my missus on roseberry avenue. I haven't taught her to DAS yet.
