asm [quote]illy Red fixed / single speed flip-flop parked up by Waterstones, Eldon Square, Newcastle on my way home tonight. Looked like quite a low gear for those hills.. do we have a Newcastle lfgss branch?

What the hell are you doing up here illy?! It wasn't mine though. Up here for long?[/quote]

Passing through Newcastle on my way back to Northumberland for Christmas. Going back down for new year I'm afraid. Looking at these hills I can see why I never rode fixed when I lived here.

I live in Ponteland. Also back till new year. Whereabouts in Northumberland do you reside?

Lovely lads Teenfixie and Ratboy, causing mischief, harassing old ladies, and stealing candy from BMX-riding babies on the Southbank, whilst I busily played Santa. [/halo]

A pleasure gentlemen. Forgive any curtness on my part. I was extremely hungover, still, and that whole day was a blur.

Oh yes, and of course yesterday...

Do you ever get the feeling you're heading the wrong way?
On Commercial St I passed a young lady in stripy socks who looked at me like I was a little odd when I nodded 'hello'; a chap on a black somethingorother with green deep-Vs right behind her; and then there was the dude on the other side of Old St, just by Pitfield, on a sexy royal blue beastie with mean red deep-Vs and what looked like a mtaching wolly hat on his noggin.

Anyone to any of these (I'm guessing the 1st two were polo-ists...)?

CHUG_IT Could possibly be, that was my first impression was like "Yo!" but then thought that it might not be her....

I was on my way to Sainsburys so was in a pre-baking trance

not me, i been in Dorset for past 4 days and my back wheel is still wobbly :-( ..i have an evil twin!

Just spotted a lovely white Faggin track with Atlantas in Muswell hill.
Pretty sure the owner was having a coffee in the Deli.

Saw a couple (lady and gent) pushing their fixeds through Columbia Road market yesterday. Guessed they might have been going to bike polo, but when me and my lady arrived at the courts at the very top end of Brick Lane there was no one around - was it not on this Sunday? Not especially bothered - we were shopping there anyway.

Also saw a blue Pinarello on red V's and with red tape locked up outside Rough Trade off BL with another fixed with risers - both v. nice.

JOL Just spotted a lovely white Faggin track with Atlantas in Muswell hill.

it's a bit of a coffee shop bike. that'd explain it.

Damn, I knew I was missing something..

So when a shop has a sign for coffee, they are selling coffee?!?

you a notherner JOL? and a posh one if you're in muswell hill

Nope, Londoner.
And I was doing some last minute shopping in Mussers as I'm at my parents in wood green for christmas.

No-one - it was like 28 days later out there this morning.

Yep, agreed. Saw no bikes, very few cars and a bit of tumbleweed.

how nice was it though - i left my house at 7 and not one person was out. was ridding through vauxhall and it was DEAD..

im back with my parents, in Enfield, i don't think bikes exist this far out! My old maths teacher used to do touring but just not the sae, went out yesterday with some of my friends that freeride but i looked like a berk skidding around the place whilst they were gap to step downing stairs....IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?????????

i was out today, said hello to a lady on converted grey peugeot outside cycle surgery. also had lengthy chat to man on a weird potenza with quite relaxed geometry and phil wood hubs. that was it though. no-one else. bethnal green road was empty.

where have all the bikes gone?

again, i locked my bike up in dalston, normally a cue for fixed wheel valhalla.

not a sausage. but then again, no-one ever sees me anyway...

dalston woooooooo! thats where i live! shame you didn't see us! could be cause im not there...BUT you never know maybe next time

Wow, everyone lives in hackney these days.

I used to go to dalston with my dad when I was a kid, he knew quite a few people there / had some business to do, can't remember. I do remember eating lots of great kebabs + pide, though.

Havn't been in about 10 years or so, though..

Good memories.. :)

i don't live there, i live in bow. but i was at the prince george drinking too much guinness.

Thurs 27th Dec about 1ish, dude with black moppy hair on a black fixed Condor, sloping TT, cyling from Wandsworth - Brixton. I was in a red Audi, craning my neck too have a look ;-)

moppy hair cheeky fcuker!!!!!....yeah thats me...just come from christmas spent in kingston...the bikes mashed up and thats the way i like it...not into all this aesethics bullshit...
