winston NY dustmen wear Carharrt and we've got a shop in carnaby street selling their caps for £25.....we Londoners really are a bunch of tits aren't we?.......that goes for brand-obsessed label-headed bike obsessivists too.....no better than dumb airheaded Prada junkies.
You say these dustmen are from New York?
£25 you say?
runs to Carnaby St for deal of the century

Bill's thinking of Ben Davis.
"Ben Davis Co. is working class chic, the Harley Davidson of coarse clothing. For 60 years, Ben Davis has been inspiring customer loyalty from ditch diggers and hipsters with a line of work clothes still cut from patterns drawn in the 30's."Have to throw huge props to Ben Davis as their clothing is made by unionised labour in San Francisco. Much better than Dickies on so many levels and roughly the same price. How much longer they do is though is an unknown as they've made noises about moving some or all production to more labour friendly climes.
A total fakenger is tit like me, who on first moving to london tried to get a job as a messenger so borrowed a radio holster (all keen like) and has never taken it off my bag. Keep meaning to though.
Anyway, I generally find if you ride a bike and don't have access to showers etc, you end up dressing pretty similar to everyone else. Sure theres a little bit of copying but most of its born of practicality.

I'm pretty certain I met you a few months ago (after a CM), and you turned your nose up at my Langster. Git. ;-P[/quote]
never been to a CM, cos i knew you were going to be there on your smelly bike :-)
a langster was just the first mass produced fixed bike that came into my head, if i had used filmore, touche or madison some people wouldn't have understood. -
What are they called? webengers? fakelopers?

Alex [quote]31trum and those other pricks riding around in hi-vis waistcoats pretending to be road workers
People in hi-vis coats probably did not get any dates in high school. Dating was not safe...[/quote]
yesterday i saw a womaen on a hybrid with disc breaks, wearing a helmet with a light on the front and back, one of those darth vader masks, a hi vis jacket, full finger gloves, trousers with reflective stripes,a nd held up with reflective straps, both lights on rideing on the side walk.

If it makes her feel safe and shes on abike can't complain too much aprt from the riding on the pavment thing of course.
I have seen a few people wearinf fullface though that seems a bit over the top.
