Spotted...

To the bloke on what appear to be a black Boardman steel fixed wheel bicycle with black straight fork (hasn't seen those before), I don't mind you RLJing in Wimbledon near the Savacentre in desperate attempt to keep riding, but PLEASE check behind you before you do so.

A kid on an MTB behind you saw you did that, and decided that it's worth RLJing because you do it and almost got hit by a HGV coming on the side, luckily the HGV saw the kid and brake sharply.

I hope you smear wasabi on your cock.

Surely this is a case of MTB boy being a belm, not the original rider?

If I had to spend every waking minute checking behind me to see which fuckers are copying me, I'd have to hire an assistant to take stock of all the plagiarism. Spare a thought for those of us who can't help being awesome.

braker on High Holborn today. Of course, as usual, I was spotted rather than spotting him.

Loads of forumengers last night at the HHV meeting and loads more today at the Cycle Show. Too many to mention! It's been a lovely day. Good to see you all.

I was gonna head to that but forgot, black mountain are a bit good.

Anyway shouldn't you be watching the band?

Both of 'em fucking smashed it, and it was in the switch-over. Plus I was on my own as everyone I was meant to be going with bailed last minute, goddamn hippies....

A guy bombing it down jamaica road who was so bent over that his entire upper half was parallel to the road and almost perfectly flat but he seemed to have a really long neck as his head was still totally upright as if his neck and head were some sort of periscope.
It made me actually laugh out loud, I have never seen anyone else ride in a position even approaching what he was managing.

It's called the "fixie tuck".

It's called the "monkey humping a tennis ball".

ftfy

I know some people have fetishes, but that is just fucked up...

Nah, it's a case of the lemmings.

For instance, there's 3 cyclists at a traffic light, one appear and jump a red light, two cyclists follow suit just because.

Led by example.

I saw a bus hit mount the curb and hit a lamp post on Shaftsbury Avenue today.

^Argh Cipo and myself have fallen on our sides!

Your lips are amazing Digger. Where did you get them done?

Clara on Shaftsbury Avenue going towards Picadilly circus. I was sat behind a bus going the other way, shouted pretty loud but you didnt hear.

Shit Man I was hauling ass to the Cycle Show and having to deal with the rush hour nutters, not my favourite time. Hi though :)

I also saw this obviously just before you saw me - Freakin Mental!

SuperTed this morning in the HH heading in opposite directions a friendly wave exchanged - very civilised.
Andy FGL Ellis on Shaftsbury Ave Charing cross road junction yesterday - goodness everyone's about at the moment :)

I don't buy it. If I RLJ safely and someone follows me and gets knocked off because they're not doing it safely, that's on them, it's not on me.

I like you dude and I'm not having a pop, I'm just getting a bit bored of this thread being used as a cycle police 'safer than thou' coda.

You can have fun on foot on crowded pedestrian crossings by faking to cross at stupidly dangerous moments and seeing how many people would actually follow you to oblivion. Sheeple.

I used to do this when I lived on Tokyo. Crossing at a Ped crossing where there is no green man (even if there isn't any traffic for miles in either direction) is a massive no no (found that out when I did it once and was literally booed). Thing is most people stand there reading a paper or something. Take a couple of steps out on a red man and the rest follow. Step back they look up and see a red man and the guilt is like they have killed some one.

Halcyon days...

adoubletap illustrate my point rather well;

so how the fuck is it your fault if someone follows you through a red light?

i swear your contrariness(?) borders on trolling sometimes.

Point taken on where the blame lie (just realise this), but we do have the mean to prevent such thing from happening though.

adoubletap illustrate my point rather well;

It's on them, dude. That simple. If someone took a hit because they followed me blindly I'd feel bad but I wouldn't feel guilty. Not in the slightest. Besides, if they were being lemmings then they'd have seen me look both ways (and probably cop a shifty look over the shoulder to make sure there wasn't a copper behind me) and have done the same. I call that leading by example. +1 to not buying it.

we do not have the means or responsibility to stop people being retarded so please take your guilt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If someone wants to follow me and taste danger more fool them.

Oliver Schick yesterday... Always a pleasure to peak some words with you, mister.

middleofnowhere waiting at the lights a couple of days ago round Holborn. Trackstanding like a tiger ready to pounce. The pouring rain was dripping down his face and beard. A blank expression, and an icy stare at the road ahead. Nodders keeping a distance behind due to fear, confusion and repect. The lights changed, five powerful strokes out of the blocks, nodders destroyed.
