Guy on what looked like a classic style condor track, he was rocking the aviators and white track mitts heading West on Lonsdale Road at about 9 AM.
And
Guy with short blond hair and white shades on white Genisis on Thames Path just by Hammersmith bridge about five past nine. I Nodded with a jaunty wink, he gave me the peace sign.
Good morning to you both.

Bob Mortimer going North to Waterloo bridge from the IMAX roundabout riding a cruiser bike. Bob, if your tuned into this forum, you can't ride for toffee mate and carrying on like that will ultimately end up with you on the front page of the evening standard for all the wrong reasons.
Witts about you fella!!!!!

fatboyralph on Stamford/Southwark St
On Kingsway a guy riding fixed, no clips or straps, in shoes with his laces undone and bootcut jeans flapping against his chain.
I gave him some friendly advice at the lights about his impending death and that he should at least tuck his jeans in his socks till he reached a place of safety and buy some clips etc. which was taken on board pretty well I thought.
"Thanks, I haven't had it long and I wondered why my foot got pulled off the pedal passing that bus back there. I'll sort that out."
Then he rode off again without even tying his shoelaces.
Darwin do your worst. -

Spotted: Me getting my back wheel clipped by a bendy bus. Back wheel flys over the back of my head. I bellyflop over the top of my handle bars onto the tarmac.
Thank fuck i was wearing my gloves, although my elbow is now shreeded. I thought I was going to crack my head open as I came off the bike. Seriously thinking about getting a helmet now. -
• #19709
Pickle - glad you're ok.... a helmet is always a sensible idea after a near death experience - get one, wear it.

I spent last night in A & E too after someone twatting into the back of me. That first ride after a fall is horrible, isn't it? I didn't enjoy this morning at all.

Just a lot of blood and bruises. And my pelvis hurts, which is a new one on me. But they gave me some amazing painkillers - I've been seeing students all morning through a drugged up haze :-D -

Be careful, those painkillers can be addictive, apparently......

bobob's new unfinished stealth bike putting joeslain's previous attempts to shame.
Stealth is dead... It's all about the build-whatever-you-feel-like bike this season...
Spotted Emillia turning onto Southwark Street while I was inhaling another coffin nail outside Pret... Shouted thrice but to no avail... Deafo! ;P -

Heal fast pickle and plurabelle. Sounds like both incidents could have ended up a lot worse.
