Spotted...

Just spotted this in a friend's photo album, thought the stars might want to see it!

ah, good times...

was nearly taken out by a fixiéfashionista at the junction of clerkenwell and farringdon road this morning.

i was walkengering and this guy turned into clerkenwell rd from the south. he was out of the saddle pedal-mashing and rode straight though the crowd of pedestrians crossing with the green man. i jumped backwards as he nearly hit me and i have to say that if he'd been going a fraction slower i might well have let my instinctive fight or flight reaction kick him off his stupid fucking fixié. twat.

spotted in Sicily - one lycra-clad roadie in a whole week of really really shoddy cheapo mountain bikes. i thought Italy would be brimming with serious cycling types! sadly, i was mistaken.

on my way to hook up with dropout for a scenic ride out through london to the TNRC start point. 15 miles of traffic lights basically. great to have someone to talk to though john cheers for that.
might see you later marky. jonny tells me there is a mission. more stealth.

Quite possibly, I'm waiting for 3rd party confirmation...can't say more than that right now...

Digger this morning at the Hootananny. It must have been half 9 and I obviously wasn't giving a hoot about getting to work on time.

I shall be one of those on a really really shoddy rented MTB in a couple of weeks' time. Can't wait. Might well go for a nose round here too: http://www.daricello.it/index2.htm

hipster+fixie=twat.

unless these people act like that when they are off the bike too? I doubt it...

PGM yesterday morning. mccarthy last night in Ealing.
Me, today, working from home*

*watching the Vuelta

Nice shiny blue Merckx in Dulwich Park earlier. I was on a bench, about halfway between a geared holdsworth and a brie sandwich.

This?

Saw in Condor (none other than!!), love the colour on that EM.

i'm sure there are other EM's around.

maybe i should go through this thread and see if there's anything i can tenuously link to any of the photographs i've taken.

Afraid not, this one was fixed. And was all blue. To be honest with you, the brie was so nice my full attention wasn't committed to bike spotting!

Damo this morning on Streatham High Rd. I was a busenger on my way to the hospital

Spotted Tika in Condor at lunch. Nice to see you again.

Well, don't expect too many graceful Merckx-esque figures slicing through the air on a beautiful shiny De Rosa... though i did spot a few good DIY racks made from plastic shopping baskets lifted from supermarkets and a beat-up Pashley (how'd it get there???) that kept me amused.

gutted i missed that bike shop though - looks interesting. if you're going for general tourism, i could give you a few pointers from my Palermo trip...

juliet and possibly, posy.. off of that juliet and posy one.. in noho, darling. hi girls!

Please do - I've been several times, but usually spend so much time eating that I don't see as much of the city as I'd meant to.

spotted:
gent on a fixed (could be SS) black bike with drops, ally frame etc… Parkside Gardens 5.30pm, East Barnet

anyone on here?

fella on a fixed with a baby on his back on nunhead lane this morning. I was also child carrying but with a bike seat. Baby looked like it was loving it, I never had the guts to ride like that - good on you!

Dammit at Elephant a little while back (who got a mysterious and confused wave from me), and the Cinelli-Vigorelli-OKR-guy chilling in Regents Park before that.

Mmmm! Concrete Kisses! That was the 2 v 2 Valentine polo tournament last year where the scoring team had to kiss after each goal. That was the final, in which dt just had to score 10 goals :D

Thanks for sharing the pic hanged_up :)

At 9ish this morning just past brixton station, an ambulance treating a cyclist, saw your bianchi pista leaning up next to it. Hope your ok!

Hello! Nice bike. I was on my way to the gym in Herne Hill.

Got DAS'd by two people on Lordship lane, sadly I was wearing my (10 year old, wrong prescription, held together with wire) glasses and cannot identify them.

Mr Sainsburys Ed on Blackfriars Road this evening. He was flying, I was pootling.

I saw him this morning too but I was sat in the Blackfriars Cafe enjoying a fry up.
