Spotted...

spotted- Hillbilly eating my dust during the sprint to Parliament sq on the bridges ride..... I don't care if you slowed deliberately, I'm taking it!

Thats ok.

skoota - good to wave at you. Was it my age, obesity or my pretty bike that brought my name to mind?

;o)

i know most of the rollp jersey wearers, one way or another and your name popped in when i knew it wasnt illy, stell rpm etc

9:30 a.m. New Cross to Peckham

Late 30's, black Dolan, yellow tyres, dangerous riding style, you'll come a cropper riding like that.
More likely that you'll hurt someone else, nevermind eh?

9:40 a.m. Coldharbour Lane (Camberwell end)

Geared neon Holdsworth, was dazzled by the bike didn't see the rider.

Also a tall bloke, shaved head on a white and blue Raliegh conversion.

Chap on a Charge plug S/S who very politely allowed me out when the chap in front of me decided to adjust his shoes for ages.

My hat (or in this case helmet) is doffed.

Absolute prick of a 'We are become death' driver heading west on Old Street just after the roundabout. Changing lanes without indicating whilst reading...oh look...what's this in his hand? A prayer sheet. And yes, his eyes are half shut trying to recite it. Bless him! I shout to wake him from his miny trance and try to tell him that now really isn't a good time to be praying. He tries to switch it on me by telling me that I should be in the bus lane. I point out the flaw in his argument. Words are exchanged. Didn't get his plate as I was somewhat fucked off and in a hurry to get away from him.

I'm sure your prayers will do a lot of good for the person you drag under your wheels. WAD(eluded)C.

Me...... pissed off that one half of my left toe clip snapped clean through on the way into work, thats now the bent pedal and semi broken clip that needs replacing, and the straps have one broken buckle on the left side as well, plus they're stretched and worn on both sides, bloody annoying. On a positive note, thanks to the fellow fixed rider that let me pass as I paused to let him pass in traffic going in opposite directions, it was a kinda funny "ok you go, no you go first mate, no you" both of us trying to be polite lol, didn't catch much of a description but noticed a karmasutra alley cat card in your rear wheel, nice to encounter good manners during my morning ride in :).

Was this weaving through the Liverpool St gridlock this morning around 9? If so that was me.

Also some guy I overtook just after broadway market this morning, on a cream something. I could hear you echoing my objects to the motorcycle courier who decided it would be funny to hug the right-side of the one way bit off hackney road, forcing everyong to go around him on the wrong side. Technically he wasn't in the wrong, but still, WAC.

Yeah yeah that was me mate! nice to put a forum name to the face/bike, no doubt will see you again sometime soon :).

Well good morning to you! For a few moments I thought you were trying to set up your own contraflow :)

Haha yeah that was funny, I was trying to be gentle to my toeclip when pulling away, as I was desperate for it to stay in one piece at least to get me to work!

Yeah, apart from some twunt in a 4x4 on Sussex Gardens pulling over sharply to the left and braking (no indicators), so I go right to pass them, and then they do a fucking U-turn, and I swerve maniacally to avoid them.
I enjoyed plenty of 26mph sections in 39x14, so maybe this bodes well for medium gear TTs...? There's only so much mash a ten stoner can stomach.
PS. The ice hasn't melted. If anything, it's spread towards the underworld.

THIS Sussex Gardens.. http://www.thehippy.net/nucleus/index.php?itemid=778
Now you know why they were pulling over sharply :)

Ouch.. okay.. well this all bodes well for getting you out on the bike some more. That's a plus, right? When/where is this medium gear fiasco?

not spotted - Hippy in a Lebanese restatuant in Hammersmith

remembering dates fail!

Onone's son wearing a snazzy pair of tweed trainers on the bridges ride.

i thought he said tweed was gay.

Big Daddy Wayne, about five riders ahead of me and my son in the line at Herne Hill on saturday morning

This is a random question Paul - were you the guy that played fausto coppi in a recent film ?

[there was a guy on the track who someone said was an actor who'd played Coppi]

Oh, me and Dante spotted Dropout John getting assisted by a generous tailwind thro' chiswick, I was carrying a rather large bag of charcoal on me bike

nope, 'fraid not - he had much more hair than me and I've not acted since I played the Wizard of Oz back in about 1975, although my nose could probably do a passable impression of Fausto's

i spotted a black single speed unipack with a gold chain on my ride in today around camberwell/kennington area. strapped to the back of a tow truck.

worst. repossession. ever

Nosferatu and a mate at spital square, on the way back from 14 and Evans sorting out my pedal/clip/strap situation.

Shut the fuck up. I just pulled the nicest skid in the wet, went further than round than 180...

Pssssh I did a 360 skid down near southbank, but it was shortly followed by a shoulder barge into the ground whilst still strapped in......that was really painful. It seems every time I see Kyle lately i'm spending more money on my bike, the pedals are glow in the dark by the way :p.
