Spotted...

Oh, also on Saturday I saw the most dashingly distrubing trannie on Clapham common. He had the longest, fuzziest, greyest hair and beard combo going on. Then he was kitted out with a crop top, a skirt the length of something only found in Southend, and a lovely pair of sparkley heals. He was on a step-through dutch shopper. I saw far too much of his pants. This didn't stop me doing a double take.

Possibly the infamous hacked2 at the nocturne.

A middle aged guy, a bit rounded, with a goatee. I saw him to do the trackstand comp, and the later he was hanging around the lfgss stall with his two kids on fixed gears.

I have no idea why I think it was him, but maybe I've seen a photo or something.

Can anyone confirm that?

Sounds like (t)OOL...

If you see a man with two kids looking massively tragic, it's likely to be OOL.

No problemo. I was deviating from routine and heading east to blow in a tube and get stabbed with a needle. Your helmet can be at souths - if I don't go, I'll get young jack to run it along.

that'd be excellent.

Guess that was him then...

I swear I saw a black one with a cannondale lefty fork and bullhorns going down Peckham Rye the other day. It looked absolutely awesome.

Not seen this one yet, will keep my eye out. I see a black guy on a matte black edwardes with glossy red decals, usually wearing red fingerless gloves, sunglasses (regardless of weather) with a polution mask. He must go up and down Walworth all day just looking badass.

The goth? Haven't seen here around for ages... I complimented her bike once, she sneered back at me through her fake designer sunglasses... Meh...

That's the one! She isn't friendly, I gave her a nod and she looked away.

very few people riding fixed on bhf london to brighton yesterday. myself on the yellow peril and my flatmate on his charge did us proud. only other people i can remember were a lad with a fluro yellow aerospoke on the front and a black guy on a black bike with a rolls saddle. still, great day despite the grim death of a cyclist on his way up ditchling.

Glad I chose Oxford yesterday, then! 2 Roadies, 2 fixed, and 2 SS. Was a good mix, but my knees are fucking killing me. We chose to switch from Brighton to Oxford exactly because of the BHF ride clashing with us, looks like we got lucky in doing so.

Saw a guy on a nice white Bob Jackson brakeless encouraging his daughter & son, I presume, up a hill, they were all on fixed, I thought it was cool
At the end, saw a belt drive cannondale, i think, on the railings at the beach

Photoben at sunset yesterday ... how bro mantic. HIYA!

Some guy crossing Portland Place on a Pista Concept, with HED trispok and rear deep-section HED carbon thing ... nice bike, but jesus mate - you could have 3 nice bikes for that money.

Its worth that - but didnt spend that much ; )

He's been a fixture in Clapham for as many years as anyone can remember. His exchanges with the builders who are permanently digging up the high street are fantastic.

Good! Your bike is very pretty though... I was on the pavement with bike and dog. Hello!

Sounds like (t)OOL...

OOL was there, boat shoes, shorts, pastel pink shirt with a pastel green linnen jacket. It was a strong look......

Strong? Sounds weak to me...

He even stumped up the cash so two of his kids could buy t-shirts. He has gone up in my estimation. I can't imagine he cares what I think though. Unless I am controlling the flow of RL Polo products that he can get his hands on. Then he would care.

I was taking the piss.

An utterly revolting creature just now on Clerkenwell Rd. Scrawny streak of piss in black lycra tights and a bell-helmet, stupid chrome Marin mountain bike wide rly wide bars, and bar ends, which he was using, so a daft position, stupid beak-like face, looked like a Morlock, and was running every red light headed East till the roundabout. Wretched beast.

I spent ages honking at Velo Libre today outside the Grand Union.
The fucker didn't even get slightly riled when I overrevved my engine and blasted the horn.
Hi josh!

( i hate driving)

Alison Hammond (the one that broke the table) of Big Brother and GMTV(?) at St Pancras this morning squeezing through the ticket barrier.

RPLZ all weekend... one of them being a busenger outside the Florence (HH) on Sunday morning as we walked to the train station, then a whole heap of you coming north down Croxted Road as we were Rail Replacement Bus Service-engers.

top vitriol.

i lack verve today. i got actually chased by a mad guy in a white van this morning. after a jolly exchange of hand gestures and fruity language with me at the crossroads of southwark/stamford/blackfriar's road*, he (after briefly considering stopping in the middle of the road to get out and beat me up) must have charged round the block to head me off then pull over to try to beat me up. after he'd been to all that trouble, pulled over and got out i actually thought, maybe i should go back and see what exactly his beef was... but i thought better of it and just waved and rolled slowly away. i just couldn't muster the vitriol.

*the lead up to which was: i was waiting, as i always do, to do "the pounce" the moment the lights change and turn right off the bridge into stamford street before the oncoming traffic gets away. if you do it right you can avoid getting stranded in the middle of the junction for a couple of minutes. the thing is, you have to be super quick off the mark and hope that no-one runs the lights coming from your left. if they do you lose your window waiting for them to clear the junction. this morning a van ran the lights causing me to have to abandon the pounce. not a big deal but as he passed right by my he must have seen a gesture of frustration or something from me and shouted "fucking wanker". i responded in kind (with hand signals) and he slammed on the brakes in the middle of the busy junction and tried to get out!

Repped for use of verve and vitriol... :]

Never done Ditchling myself. Not gonna try now!

liar!

thought so.

Dooks, I feel your pain. A van driver spat "cunt" at me at a junction. (The light phase was different and I got confused.).

You should have ripped one of his flags and stab him in the eye.
