Spotted...

meh, fixie trendz! First they're riding around without brakes flippin' theyz vans into the rear seatstayz, now they're standing on the top tube weaving through innocent startled peds inviting imminent death with a flippant disregard to the pain of Jebus!

^ :d

Ha ^, I was being sarcastic. It takes all my concentration to get my leg over my top tube whilst I'm stationary let alone whilst in motion!

Anyway, I'm jealous! About a month back I passed by south easts and was greeted by DAS requests, I obliged, did a bit of a parp skid and fully expected 'best skid I ever saw' comments to flow, but did they fuck! You were all too pissed to remember. And now some clown rides past on his top tube, you're all superman this and that? I'm not bitter!

So he did a Surfer. It's a recognised trick. Nice one.

No, he was like this - straight up. He climbed up without even touching the bars.

sorry ed, didn't manage to catch the frame number as he rode past…

chuckle :D

not as good as a rasberry and a flipped 'V'

Spotted, this morning, a guy that looked seriously incompetent on his red beater, which emitted noises every revolution that made my heart bleed for it indicated an ill maintained bike. The chain was slack, there was no back brake and the feet weren't secured to the pedals in any way, instead he was wearing flip flops and there was only half a toeclip on the left.

He then tried to stop in order to turn right, but it did take him like 20 meters before he had slowed the bike down with his legs, and it was clear he didn't have the technique nor the power for skid stop.
I kindly pointed out that he should "at least fit a back brake".

This prompted a bewildered look and the great line "You don't understand, this is fixed!" completely ignoring my (albeit camouflaged) choice of drivetrain.
When I said "I know, but you're feet aren't fixed to the pedals!" he sneered and then rode off wonky like a drunk.

WTF?

What's on the childrens menu?

All the best stuff! Cheese sandwiches (grilled), peanut butter and banana sandwiches (not grilled, but should be).. that sort of thing.. it was passed 5 so we weren't allowed, and I doubt they would have let us anyway.. we had milkshakes instead :)

if only simon had shaved, he could have passed for a kiddy

^hehe

You and me both.

But according to the Google of the World, the result it bestow upon me that AFAIK mean "As Far As I Know".

Repped to the power of ten. Lyrical and beautiful.

Has anyone else noticed that "Spotted" is now at page 531? The hallowed number of the righteous.

Wait until it gets to Page 5014.

I spotted that the last three digits in damo's mobile number are 531... Coincidence? I think we should be told...

It'll get even better on page 853

Spotted photoben this morning on Bishopsgate. Good to see you and chat to you sir.

Spotted a small girl of Asian extraction, the other day on Old St, riding a pretty geared 3Rensho. A rare machine on these shores.

531 are the middle digits in my mobile number, you spotted that too!

Brun this morning!
I see you lurking!
Lovely weather for a ride + chat

spotted guy with orange hair on a surly with 3 speed sturmey archer hub doing track stands that made me worried he was going to fall off and hit me at the lights this morning.
