I'd love to know where all these people are off to when they appear to be in such a rush... Hmm, I wonder!

That idiot in Brixton whom gets off and runs his bike through lights was pissing me off this morning. I thought he just ran it through ped crossings, but no. Today coming down brix hill he jumped off at the double lights near the fridge, ran his bike past a cop car, then jumped back on in the flow of traffic coming round the corner. Absolute wally. What the fark is he thinking/doing?

ha! wally! haven't heard that word in ages.

Sounds like good practice for those hipsters trying for cyclo-x ;)

I'm going to make it my mission to pull that guy up on being a tit.

isn't that legal though? getting off your bike and cross the road?

i think you have to carry it. Pushing it is still considered illegal i believe

it is legal. Brooks V Crank I believe.. I'm not making that up

....."Don't fall for the piffle that you have to carry a bicycle when on a footway or pedestrian crossing. Anyone pushing a bicycle is a "foot-passenger" (Crank v Brooks [1980] RTR 441) and is not "riding" it (Selby). In his judgment in the Court of Appeal in Crank v Brooks, Waller LJ said: "In my judgment a person who is walking across a pedestrian crossing pushing a bicycle, having started on the pavement on one side on her feet and not on the bicycle, and going across pushing the bicycle with both feet on the ground so to speak is clearly a 'foot passenger'. If for example she had been using it as a scooter by having one foot on the pedal and pushing herself along, she would not have been a 'foot passenger'. But the fact that she had the bicycle in her hand and was walking does not create any difference from a case where she is walking without a bicycle in her hand."

Looking/acting like a bell-end is illegal.

no, while you've been away he's been to the dentist.

Pfft. I'm adding both of you to Joe's list. I'm not sure whether you should be worried or not.

natch

who isn't on that list?

See the thing is, he isn't being a ped. He's running is bike with the flow of traffic. Ped xings go at right angles to the traffic (usually). He's just stopping, getting off and running it across the ASL before remounting in the flow of traffic. He's a nob. Darwins theory of evolution in full fail mode.

I'm fucking petrified.

Out tomorrow night Chris?

Scott's nemesis, right down to the hubs;

I ran in today, so no spots there.
but after my shower, on my way down Goodge st, saw emilia, and shouted, and then sprinted after, but knocked over some guy, and so lost you.
woops.

spotted skully looking like a dragon fly on his way home last night.

wasn't it more like a fairy?

Spotted Dammit on Curtain Road this evening just after a brief chat with 'Otters on Rivington.

S.Walrus between Kennington and Stockwell, nice to see you sir, have a lovely time in Cornwall

last night, a guy on a lo pro waved to me last night (conveniently while i was making a stupid face) about 8:30 on kensington park road. i had a frame over my shoulder (really annoying to ride with) on a grey burls

i spotted gus at angel again this morning. i was on the gf's girly singlespeed (stix's old steed) following the demise of my forks at the weekend. i pulled up at the lights behind and to the right of him having come round the outside of the traffic waiting to turn right. he looked up and blearily indicated that he was also waiting to turn right and that i should just pass if i was going straight on. unfortunately i was even more bleary and just looked dumbly in the direction he was indicating with his hand and asked? "what?". hehe. sorry dude. was hanging a bit.

I spotted someone on the way home, can't remember who tho'... Nurse!
And a brakless chap in Evans (blue bike) on The Cut while I was nabbing the PriceMatch deal of the century... We exchanged pleasantries, hello again... doffs BC cap
And damo, markyboy, snowy... You're on the list... Oh, hang on... See you clowns tomorrow night... x

I got DAS'd twice on Tredegar road today (the Orange Mercian, me in a red top and shorts), failed to comply both times. First time I was too far away/heard it too late, the second I had just sprinted back from Tower Bridge to see how fast I could do it, and the legs didn't feel up to it.
