Spotted...

That bike is about to get stolen easily.

Festus swerving around a car and berating the driver last night on Shaftesbury Ave

A clean, fresh looking bicycle messenger riding what looked to be a new Titanium road bike with carbon forks, does this mean Armageddon?

Festus swerving around a car

Skillz

saw a sweet fixie skidder girl in the complete fakenger uniform going quite fast on kingsland road around 8:30 this morning. Must have been a bit nervous because she kept looking over her shoulder every time she made the slightest diversion. Performed the wobbliest track stand possible without falling over at the lights wich I found terribly amusing. Probably on here and I would have das'ed you should I have thought it safe but I opted not to. A welcome change in the dalston to farringdon peloton who usually consists of gentlemen on hybrid's in full highviz regalia.

I bet you many many £ this is nelaii-
sweet, tick
complete fakenger uniform, tick
going quite fast, tick
looking over her shoulder isn't nervousness, it's good sense (she's got a cycle trainer boyf), tick
wobbly trackstandm the exception which proves the rule?

Can't have been me. If I'm not at London Bridge by 8.30 then I'm in a lot of trouble... And I don't wobble. Also, I have no idea what fakenger uniform is...
But K-C is right about the looking over the shoulder. Good call for anyone to do that. Peds and drivers included.

Plus, nelaii doesn't do 'wobbly' in trackstands. :)

shoulder checking shouldn't even be a conscious activity when you're in the zone...

Dr.P almost in the same place as the last 3 spots, this is becoming a welcome occurence Squire - hearty good morning's all round......

Belated spot. Last Wed, battling against the wind down the A200 from Rotherhithe to Greenwich. Nice chap on track bike begins conversation at Surrey Quays:

Nice chap: "Windy!!"
Me: "Yes, windy"
NC: "I need to put on my winter gear"
Me: "You look pretty wrapped up to me"
NC: "Nah, I mean my winter gearing, change my cog"
Me: "Ohhhhhhhh"

I had to look 'vignette' up. You learn something new every day.

y u no say haro.

I was with the missus too.

Didn't see Nhatt, you were just setting off from the lights when I saw you and I thought beeping the horn would put you off negotiating the line of cyclist traffic ahead.

Shouted DAS at Ninja Katie Coo a couple of weeks ago. No idea if i mentioned it...

Also at bank, dude with American Classic Aero 400s and a blue/green frame. I know youre on here around 8:30- own up!

Casting for Star Wars VII, probably.

No way, he's not wearing a Mickey Mouse costume!

Guy on a yellow single-speed Schwinn Madison with bullhorns, on Warwick Road and then Holland Road, this morning. See him on that route every so often. Remember him because he's always a) very unhappy about being overtaken, b) desperately keen to catch up, c) really rather slow and d) prone to the stupidest and most dangerous RLJ moves across very busy roads (like the junction of Warwick Road and West Cromwell road) in attempts to get ahead.

Anyway, he repeated that pattern without fail, this morning. Having left him behind again, I was spinning toward Holland Park roundabout when I realised my left-hand drop was moving - mostly independently of the rest of the bike. This caused me to slow down some, to consider. As it dawned on me that the left half of my drops was close to falling off, yellow Madison guy appears at my shoulder, giving it his all to the extent that his bike is shaking rather more than mine. "Fuck this!", I thought, damned if I was going to allow the minor problem of a disintegrating bike to stop me from twatting a twat. So I gripped the right drop firmly, the left drop just firm enough to hold it in place, and spun off into the distance - at which point he actually started swearing loudly. I was tempted to pull the left drop off entirely and wave it over my head, but wasn't quite that stupid.

If you're on here and still determined to get ahead, learn to ride faster and less like a dick. I'm less dangerous with half my handlebars missing than you are with a fully functioning bike.

And I found out why my handlebars were creaking. Bonus.

y u no say haro.

I was with the missus too.

He's too good for us mere cyclists nowadays.

Motor car or motor plane - that's his transport

Man I wish I could fly to work. That would be sweeeet.

I'll be back riding soon. I can't wait.

Think I spotted South London Beers on my route home. Shouted Cantgoslo at somebody wearing a Cantgoslo tee stood outside possibly Coach And Horses.. Always good to see northern wear.

That was me, it's an ironic statement...
