Spotted a dude on Kennington Rd this morning on a hybrid with twin spoks, disc brakes and a backpack with a dachshund in it. Fair enough.
Quite similar to another dude I spotted on Camberwell Rd the other day now I come to think of it. He was also on a be-spok'd hybrid, but this guy had a full on chromed snowboard lid with a digital camera mounted on top and full chrome lens snowboard goggles. He had a blonde goatee and straggly long blonde hair at the back and was head to toe in black SAS or SWAT team spec survival gear. You just know he thinks everyone else is idiotically underprepared for the ongoing urban war that is the commute. I imagine he's the kind of guy who has £15k speakers and only three CDs. I guaran-fucking-tee you he owns a leather trenchcoat and built his own NASA spec PC.
