I had an uplifting spot on Duke Street Hill last night.
A chap on a Spesh Allez with crappy plastic pedals and vans but otherwise clad in Rapha lookalike gear aerotucked past LB station as if he was descending Col du Galibier. He then proceeded to try to trackstand at every set of lights but only managing to wobble forward at least 5 metres into the junction each time before doing his best Mark Cavendish impression as he theatrically sprinted away from the lights with his face almost touching his front tyre at all of 10mph before settling into a nice 15mph pace while frantically thrashing his head around and grimacing.
I don't know whether he genuinely rides like that or whether he was doing it for shits and giggles but it certainly tickled me pink.
