Spotted...

spot du jour - bmmf on his new whip in russell square - that is some machine scarlett. gorgeous titanium burls kitted out with the very best. in today's lovely light it is going to look like you are riding a shard of glass through our wonderful london town.

catch ya soon dude.

It's unnervingly smooth to ride, without being noodly - must be the hubs and the frame material.

A bike on which I'm hoping to grow old gracefully, in the manner demonstrated by your good self ;)

.. man riding with a rugby scrum hat

ey, i saw a white shirted bloke on a hybride rocking a full face downhill MX style lid, london wall ytd. oooh!

a 'do a skid' shouter near mass in brixton on wednesday afternoon, i looked round and laughed at you but failed to fulfill your request, sorry mr. glasses bloke, next time!

young red headed lady on green frame, this morning just up from the royal albert hall.

acknowledged my nod,

which was nice!

Many, many forumgers in Holborn this late afternoon, and one Emilia(a real life messenger), your powers are becoming weak young ladie.

Mobidog this morning on his Moser, being too fast.

Me, spotted by a pair of plastic plods riding the wrong way down a one way street, on the pavement near grosvenor square. 'Take it up with Westminster. They put all the roads in the wrong way round,' I told him, which confused him for a moment. And he didn't fine me, just bored me.

Edscoble and his mrs in Clerkenwell, with a brompton rider in between.

The beautiful Nhatt on Stamford Hill just now. What a pleasant surprise on my birthday.

that brompton rider, as you subtly put it, happen to be my missus' mother actually! she hasn't ridden a bicycle for 15 years (she's used to fixed gear bike back in South America) we decided to put her inbetween us in order to keep her safe.

Ha ha, sorry mate, no offence intended. To be fair she was riding a Brompton, so my description was purely factual. I figured she was with you guys. First time I've really seen your Jackson in the metal - very nice.

a fucking massive police chase down old kent road at about 1.45pm. if you live in south east london you will have seen the police helicopter looming for a good hour.

shit was 100% legit.

i appreciate this isn't a proper spot, but it was very exciting and i have only told about five people.

sorry i wasn't angry or anything! just trying to sound pathetically witty when replying your comment.

What did you do? Did they catch you in the end?

I'll shoot your wheels off next time... ;)

An over zealous motor bike copper at the junction of tooley street and tower bridge guessing correct that I was going to turn right onto tower bridge. Put his siren on and did a a scrubs style point at me, made me laugh but I was a good boy and went straight on.

Interesting though that i followed him in from Greenwich and he had words with several cyclists about rlj-ing but not with the motorbikes sitting at the ASL right in front of him.

haha you sound like an angry and very possibly trigger-happy, inspector gadget..
i look forward to it though.

also, happy birthday for yesterday, wiganwill!

What did you do? Did they catch you in the end?

i did actually speed up because i was convinced that a Ford KA couldn't beat that amount of police cars and i would get to see some exciting arrest action.

but then i realized that i'm not that fast.

ditto mate, it took me a while to realise who own the blue Pinarello!

Guy coming out of his house on Bravington Rd with orange fame/white front spok who nodded at me earlier today. You MUST be on here with a bike like that! :)

Gilbert and George walking down Brick Lane yesterday on the way to the Southend ride meeting point. Said "Good Morning" and was enthusiastically greeting with the same. Such gentlemen.
