Spotted...

A guy on a red and white lo-pro on the Shoreditch HS/Bishopsgate/Commercial/Great Eastern crossing, going north, at about 9pm tonight.

Nice bike.

Wasn't a tall chap in lycra shorts was it?

I don't really remember, tbh. But...well, let's just all remember not to ever undertake anyone. It's not where they will expect you to be.

my old PE teacher (mr. s....i forget what 's' stood for) coming out of john roan school.... on fixed!
hi sir!

mr. soane!

Preach it!

Oi! Don't ever try and undertake another rider, especially if it means squeezing between her and a bus!

Black singlespeed Cannondale guy, I know that you wanted to get in front of the girl with a red purse on her bike because that is your rightful place, in front of the woman, but you are a complete tosser.

And I don't feel bad about trying to run you into a bus. I just wish it had worked. Muppet.

Similar thing happened to me a few months ago - he was wearing bright yellow football socks and a yellow wooly hat. I called him some obscenity as he tried to squeeze between me and a 155 i was overtaking on stockwell road. He slowed down and remonstrated - I told him he was being fucking dangerous - he then slowed down further and screamed 'Are you talking to me?!' into my face..at which point I took off my sunglasses, looked at him and said calmly 'Yes I am' There was then a little moment where you could see his brain 'tilting' as he couldn't think of anything to say, at which point he sprinted off as fast as his little yellow legs could carry him.
Next time I think I might try your approach Nhatt.

and don't forget to wear sunglasses for effect.

Dude on a pink fixed conversion with rear white deep V, no brakes on risers.
Riding nice.
I was the guy in a rolla jersy on my geared beater on Great eastern rd heading for old street roundabout tonight at around 7.30
G'day.

fred riding geared westbound along Clerkenwell Road as we were standing around outside the Rapha shop. He was duly DASed but didn't oblige. I'm sure excuses involving the words 'uphill' and 'geared' will be forthcoming. Tsk. Morning!

He is BJ's adviser on transport, not TfL.

aha. I'm afraid these things are one and the same as far as the man in the street is concerned, although obviously there is a difference.

and you were spotted outside BC...

Almost forgot about the guy I saw outside Evans in Canary Wharf on Thursday night when I was swapping a tube out... Blue Unipak looking frame, brakless, two white 'Spoks, barely any foot retention (normal leather strap fitted diagonally like a PowerStrap) which the guy couldn't get into anyway... Dude, WTF?!?

Incredible...

I've heard two spoks is better than 1.

ChainBreaker, McCarthy and Max at LMNH,
BQ, Dammit, Hippy, Miss Socks, Eggpie, again Max (thanks for seeing me drop my glasses), and various others at the Rapha cafe.

Nice to meet you all.

theres a guy that works at natterjacks in kingston that rides a lo-pro with white h suns, bmx stem, forward facing risers with no foot retention and riding brakeless.
idiot.

Who owns these rides and are they all in simply pleasure?

Fixie Gang!

It's bike rack outside a courier company.

Fixie Gang Bang!

Fixed.

Yeh a fixie gang that do more miles in a day than you do in a week Edward; that is just round the corner from C******** couriers. Laurence's Fuji on the left and Ed's Merckx on the right with Max's and someone's else's bikes in the middle.

Without all this courier information, I would have thought that one of them at least was wanting to keep a low profile while popping into Simply Pleasure.

They probably do when they have the bullhorn. Shall we retire injured, Oliver?

[donethatjokebefore]I think risers would do the trick.[/donethatjokebefore]

I've seen those riders many times and they do have a filthy secret.....it involves grease and filthy women in tabards serving up fancies .......in the Greggs next door.

^That must have been pay day. Normally they just scavenge in bins.
On the subject of bawdy cycling puns: there is a little street in WC1 called Fulwood Place. I have been known, just occasionally, when I have done a delivery there to radio in this message "I have reached Fulwood, dropped my load and now my sack is empty".

I'll get me coat.

ew,

It's a man's world, you wouldn't understand. Out there on the road it's not your smile, not your charm, not even your way with a knitting needle but your absolute lack of social skills or any concept of boundaries that keep you at the head of the pack. Some call it the new Wild West, others a Dance With Death. All I know is, that world made me the borderline transgendered mouthbreather that I am today. And you can't put a price on that, dollface, you just can't.
