@ James
I do not condone what you did to that poor banker. Have you considered some form of cycle training?

Except for stabbing.

And pushing people off mountains.

Or when it's just funny.

Am considering doing some MTB training, not sure how that will help me with braking bankers

Absolute fucknuckle on the Essex Rd-Upper St junction - had the full hipster kit: no foot retention, experimental tache, braces and awful riding skills. Managed to wobble into two chaps on motorbikes just as they were taking off from the lights, then sailed through a swarm of peds while RLJing outside Angel tube - do that again and I'll throttle you with your ironic satchel. Cunt

His Papacy causing massive traffic jams in Vauxhall.

Having been out of the country and generally being disinterested in the news etc I was unaware of the Pope popping over for tea.

I had an email at work regarding the "papal visit" but with my mind on ebay purchases etc, I was uncertain why paypal was coming over, and was wondering what I could do to warrant some free internet money.

Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahahah...

MwwhahahahahahahhahaHHAHAHAHhahahahahHAHHAHahahaha.

On a serious note I do have some friends at CTUK who could help you. Betty is a great trainer by all accounts.

But quiet bliss in Victoria.

dibs.

Berwick St is the place to be today.. Skully at the Blue Post.. hand shake.. A lovely blue Colnago sitting curbed outside flat white (lock that thing up whoever you are..) And... Billy Childish, strolling up the market.. Love that man..

Saw the Colnago and thought exactly the same thing.

Also thanks to the lady courier on the lovely white bike that I chatted too briefly last night after we were almost flattened by a rljing idiot on a Boris Bike thank you for being one of only 2 or 3 cyclists yesterday that didn't appear to be a total cunt. Particular mention to the guy who gobbed off at me for going through an amber light (after I had followed him and marvelled at just how idiotically he was riding) and the rapha'd up twat on Regent's park who thought turning right without looking or indicating was a plan...

Max, having seen your quick wit in action in conversation I cannot imagine you actually doing this in time.

It is not the kind of instinctive reaction that people would do in an emergency situation.

How many times have you slowed a bike like this?

Loads of times. Shut up you utter moron.

Max may think he knows how to deal with it. In reality it would be very different.

Not true. I've dealt with it before and you are obviously underestimating me.

James, is it so shocking that I can do something you can't? Grow up.

That's Greg. Works for Pink Express.

And no-one gets their panties in a bunch over the brakeless crew.

Wrong!

Brakeless = accident waiting to happen. Basic physics says that two brakes are better than one.

This week's wanker example on clerkenwell road was a total hipster, orange back pack, white frame, green deep rims, liliac socks, ipod white headphones to match his spazzy bike.

Fixed and no brakes, tick.
Jumping read light, tick.
Jumping red light scattering pedestrians out of the way, tick.
Jumping onto pavement and scattering more pedestrians, tick.
Riding like a slow assed bitch on methadone, tick.

If this is you, wise up or at least kill yourself rather than another road user through your crass posing and stupidity.

FFS, it's 'uninterested'.

When the fuck have you ever been disinterested?

Last night down the OKR there was a guy on what I could only guess was a hillclimb bike, deep section PX carbon wheels and some curious sort of bullhorn bars but not giving it a fair go.

If I'd have gotten close I would have said "That's a jolly nice bike you have there", but I didn't, so I didn't.

Light blue frame?
Saw him on my way to Jiu Jitsu, just as I came out of Approach Road.

How?

I think BleakReference is right, brakeless fixed gear is as dangerous as single brake SS.

That's not what he said though.

i do jiu jistu by the way guys.

:p

i do jiu jistu by the way guys.

:p

i just started with it. Going to a class in Fenchurch street. The guy I was paired up with to practice throws couldn't bear the thought, and then muscle grabbed me through the Gi every time I did an ippon seionage. Plus I am not used to the break falls yet. I am bruised on every part of my body ...

Bad news is that the bruise on my left leg brought back the cramps in my shin I had just after DD, and the reason not to cycle too much :(

Any tips for beginners?

be tough

be good to your mum

be rich

be ginger

Next time don't let him get so close:

No, keep him closer. He is your enemy.
