Spotted...

Hops spotted me!

that is all

provenrad It looks like someone bought a stolen lambaster and is trying to hide it from the original owner by uglyfying it.

that's what I thought.

there seems to be a LOT of brakeless bikes out there these days..

I get the feeling there's more brakeless bikes than there are riders who can ride brakeless...

; ) [quote]Next time scream HEELO.

My lady already thinks I'm a total nerd. I managed a nod (and thought I got one back). But if I start hollering nonsense like Heelo across the street to pretty fixed gear riders, then my life might not be worth living. I jest, by the way. But I might try for a wave and "good day to you, madame" instead...

Could have sworn there was a chap with cap on in the back of your convoy.
Damned poor eye-sight.
Or damned confusing cross-dressers, depending...

dangerMouse Yesterday: some bloke on a black CONdor pista with a dodgy Kiwi accent ;o)

How was the hols, Mashton?

Hols were fucking brilliant, but jet lag sucks - that's the ony way I'm out and about in time to be spotted by you :-)

See you on Saturday for the Aussie ride, maybe?

Rider down on Old St. btw Goswell/Farringdon I think. Black fix, looked like a courier. I rolled up and asked if he was okay and he said 'yeah' so I continued.

Pearson with black+white tyres, heading west on Holland Park Rd. towards Shepherds Bush. Snobbed him coz I was thinking about something and had spent my 'friendly' penny for the day..

you heartless swine

What? Asking if the guy was alright or ignoring the other rider? If it makes you feel better I ignored about 300 other cyclists I passed by as well..

no reason, just liked the look of the insult

Fair enough. I'm bailing on tonight's turbo session.. can you hit me with something along the 'slack bastard why aren't you doing it weakling' kinda lines?

bailing a turbo?

I thought you were more of an on road man?

anyway, it's not surprising, I expect you're too racked with guilt to go near any kind of bike after that display of malevolence toward your fellow man

'turbo trainer'? I don't get it.. we call 'em mag trainers in Oz. Nevermind.
All the bikes have been thrown outside and I'm slowly crying myself to sleep on my bed..

that's right, just you think about that poor fellow, he's probably still laying there..cold, injured, confused..

Nah, there were already others around him and the ambulance was about 20m away.. course it could have been a conspiracy to steal him and use his body for genetic research..

he's tied to a chair right now, in some basement. Where a man with a long leather coat and round glasses is repeatedly hitting him around the face and asking "Ver are ze alleycats!?"

pj there are definitely lots of fixed wheel bikes in peckham, isn't that where hops and dt etc live? I bet there are more peckham/camberwell way than brixton and i saw about 5 or 6 on brixton road this morning on my way to brixton cycles for an inner tube. :)

You found a mouse with your bread?? Lucky bastard, think of all that extra nutrition. You're lucky to find a single weevil in the biscuits from brixton's sainsburys...

@hippy - I saw a load of blue flashing lights out my window on Old St (near St Luke's Church) about 7ish. Police, ambulance, stretcher on pavement, etc.

Is that what you mean? I was too busy cooking/eating spaghetti to do any long-distance rubber-necking.

Nah, I left work early tonight, it must have been 17-17:30 I reckon. There was shit going on all over the place tonight! Coppers every 100m, sirens this way and that.. frickin' carnage!

Makes me glad to be a pedestrian... although that might change if I get another job I'm applying for. It would mean a substantial bike commute of approx 1.7 miles (or 2.7 of your new world km). Just imagine how fit I'd be by the end of the first week.

If yer going to ride on Old St, don't forget that skinny jeans have right of weigh.

Chav tracksuit bottoms have right of way on Old St. Skinny jean wearing legs are only there to give the local pitbull-derivatives something to gnaw on.

1.7 miles??? I feel sorry for you bmmf... I bet there aren't even any hills in it. Mine is 4.5 and i'm not what you'd call athletic.. :(

To be honest, 500m is my limit :p

Nah, I've taken on the van-man attitude.. "might is right". Look out skinny hipsters!

I have no idea where to post this, so it can go here.
