Spotted...

No worse than riding brakeless/fixed imo.

We got a live one! take cover!

Lol. It's true though. For all the facepalms and 'omg can't believe they only have one method of stopping their bike, lol, n00bs' etc, no-one ever makes the obvious point that it's PRECISELY as dangerous as riding brakeless/fixed.

I mean I understand that this isn't really anything to do with logic, per se - I know that pointing this stuff out is a way in which members of this tribe identify outsiders, but fucking hell. I'm just not sure where the payoff is, if there's a specific point at which we're all meant to high five and point sneeringly at a calliper or somethign.

Roundup:
Tibbs (can't remember forum name) at Southwark tube, again, this morn. Sup!

Yes, and still no skid for poor old me.

Did you see the cyclist on cyclist collision aftermath on Blackfriars road, just to your left as you went past the junction. They both got carted away in an ambulance. Hope they're ok. Not sure what happened.

Front brak provide faster stopping ability that rear brak alone or leg brak alone.

Ok, done.

Stix in the City yesterday lunchtime just finishing a puncture repair by the looks of things.
Lynx in LMNH last night.
Some poloengers heading south east on the Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris on Saturday. I was at far too polite a cafe to shout "faire un dérapage!" at them though.

I ride fixed/brakeless and always unclip my pedals when I'm going at a comfortable speed. To stop I let go of the handlebars and spread my arms as much as possible to create an air-brake. As good as any calliper I've ever used, and just as stable.

I tried riding standing up once. I fell off.

Oh I saw a LFGSS cap at about 6pm last night on the junction of Kingsland Road and Cremer St. Nice.

That's hot. We should totally do the sex.

On my way to Kings Cross last night for TNRC I saw a guy on a 'Shorter' lo-pro (looked like 531 or similar) with a rear disc wheel and a Zipp front. Tubs. Mental

I think I saw an LFGSS cap in Lewisham by Matalan this morning about 7.30am. Big and beardy*.

*both he and I

spotted Friday 7.30-8pm (yep bit late, been laid up due to flu!!) girl, step through bike,single speed, coming off Holloway Road towards Emirates - near miss with car, you 'ting ting' your bell and shouted but to be honest if you will cycle round with no FECKING lights people aren't going to see you, no matter how much 'ting ting' you do

I saw izgard looking a little lost heading up tottenham court road at 2:00 today

probably would of had more of an effect

in the form of a Psy

Can't have been our forum Psy, then. ;)

Ah was that you? wearing black and tattoed right arm? You followed me up Kingsland Road?

I was on my way to Polo.

ting ting manifested itself from:

http://www.waterscape.com/canals-and-rivers/regents-canal/two-tings

and stuck in my memory (though that link could be seen as fairly dodgy)

^ The abbreviated URL of that site reads "canals-and... anal".

Do not want.

Aah, I thought I spotted a mallet - my adjustable stem kept adjusting itself so I had to progress at a snails pace. Will keep an eye out for you on the commute.

canals-and-anal/two-tings

do the two mix?

Saw him at stockwell / kennington too.

Queenstown Road al the way to Chelsea Bridge was a bit of a pisser this morning...

From Queenstown Road, turn into Ravenet Road and go through Battersea Park all the way to the Bridge. Apart from the Ringneck parrots it is peacefully quiet.
