Tuesday teatime in Golders Green dude with a trilby riding a orange frame with blue deep V's I think? Was shocked to see another fixed rider in the desert of GG.

a million tragic hipsters in central london today. Oh dear
Yup.
I rode the hipster highway yesterday... the place is swarming. All of you Easts need to quit this thread, there's no point... there's just fixie skidders everywhere.
Wests though... none. I literally saw no fixed riders at all this morning. Same procedure every day.
It's the new frontier, somewhere around Notting Hill.

islington high street this morning: an achingly cool face behind a pair wayfarers and big headphones, on a blue frame, brakeless, risers and double white spoks. wearing jeans, white tee, conspicuous calvins, brown backpack and rope-soled espadrilles. looking great till your lack of brake forced you to flap your hands into the back and side of a bendy bus at walking pace.
then i got cut up by white van man at ludgate circus and unleashed a torrent of verbal and manual abuse.
didn't spot anyone i know. my ribs still hurt.

True, my memory doesn't have the capacity to retain them all (on the days I make it to work before it's completely dead anyway). I'm going to start spotting cool 50+ guys on neat touring bikes instead. They get way stroppier about about being overtaken by girls on colour co-ordinated bikes so you can have a good race with them. I had a good ride in with a beardy man on a tri-barred, carbon-forked, Chorus equipped, Carradice carrying vintage Condor this morning. I was coveting it a bit, it looked well comfy.
oh and I spotted Tom of Brick to Brix winning fame sporting his winner's Brick to Brix t-shirt on Old Ford Road.

Some fella going South at Oval junction this morning looking like he had lost the rest of the tweed ride, flat cap, beige cardigan, plus fours and a rather nice black bike, all you need was a basket with a loaf of hovis in it - liked your style.

Only people with really good bodies can get away with exposing them to the populace.
I wouldn't dream of inflicting my flabby gut and moobs to the world out of simple common decency. And I hide my hideous visage behind sunglasses when riding. Don't want to scare the children. -

Don't want to scare the children.I thought it was just because you were a vampire, and spontaneous combustion would take place if they were ever removed during daylight hours.....
Ah! So that is who you are.
I had to run off for acupuncture anyways.
