Spotted...

LS: What brings you here today?
MrsO: I'm a bike widow. MrO is forever off on his bike with other nerds so I had to get another interest.
LS: O rly? My man set up a sad website for nerds like that.
MrsO: It's not LFGSS is it?
LS: Why yes. What a coincidence.
MrsO: Your fella - WAC.
LS: Ha - yeah. What a bunch of saddos.

etc...

Turns out Her Ladyship was narrating her eventful weekend (what is the Spanish for "I rode my fixed wheel bicycle while wearing tweeds with 500 similarly minded people"?) and MrsO said that she had been up west keeping an eye out for the Tweed Run. The conversation developed from there.

spotted: marco. in the pub.
(sorry i didn't come back to say hello, we were only in for one)

.

London Bridge, Pajamas and someone else at 10 this morning going the opposite direction. I was geared though with helmet and sunglasses so not sure if he recognised me. Looked a bit confused when I gave him a friendly nod!

Some ginger guy with a ginger beard and a bike... still beat you at the lights you complete and utter pube.x

I was laughing to hard to ride my bike properly. And I forgot to touch your face, next time.

Hmmmmm?

Not really a "doh" moment, I had the green light but a pack of peds decided to cross just as I was coming along, so I shouted and used my brakes but at the same moment my front brake cable came off. My back brake did the slowing (I ride ss) and the peds stopped crossing. It could have happened at a far worse moment and once sorted the rest of my journey was done with paranoia in my hands.

spotted 3 women all riding single speed/fixed along Mortlake High Street just now (possibly with some children). The first one had a beautiful purple frame - couldn't quite see what it was, the only other thing I noticed was that the other two had white rims. Like a twat I shouted DAS then realised I was inside with the windows closed...

bunch of forum looking guys in the Bree Louise yesterday evening, some wearing brixton pista t-shirts and one riding a geared coppi frame w/gold rims. Nice.

A load of probably forumistas in London Fields today, white bridgestone with dura-ace hubs and another white track frame with Black Sugino 75's and a black Zen Ring.

Oi mate in one of Tynan's 'For Sale' t-shirt. Yeah, I'm wearing a Slayer T-shirt; I like Slayer. What's your fucking problem? Judgemental arsehole.

With an orangey-gold goldfinger brake, and front spinergy?

London Fields was absolute Hell on Earth last weekend, and it wasn't even that warm. It must've been fucking awful this weekend.

Saw some guy in blue wearing sunglasses, red and yellow bike, turning onto Wick Road from Leyton direction yesterday. I was looking gormless, suddenly woke up when he gave a very cheery "Good morning!"

And to you sir, and to you!

London Fields was literally a sea of hipsters as far as the eye could see today. Chainbreaker got the lovely reply of "suck my fucking cock" after shouting DAS.

^ haha!

plurabelle, did i spot you at the BL cafe chatting with an apparent student?
i missed you at the ladies' training session yesterday at HH.

Sorry, E, only just saw this. I wasn't being rude :-)

Yep, that would've been me - my students get lovely coffee based tutorials over the holidays because I am nice. I wanted to do the TS, but I am so out of shape – just been commuting the last few months.

Spotted a beautiful gold brakeless number glide passed me on the south bank, near Victoria yesterday. Was gliding pretty quickly so couldn't see what it was, but it looked 3Rensho ish. Anyone own a classy gold coloured Japanese (poss) bike? Stunning.

I was about to pass out when I saw a bunch of fixie skidders going the wrong way on whitedown la.

I'm enjoying london fields at this very moment. This is fixed gear heaven at the mo, tri/quad and aerospokes!

Just spotted a 'Create' with a red Spok on Upper Street. Genius

With an orangey-gold goldfinger brake, and front spinergy?

yeah i think it did have an orangey coloured lever. i didnt look at the wheel though.
