Spotted...

I thought I was about to ride headlong into another cyclist.

At the bottom of West Hill is an furniture shop that often has mirrors on display out front. Coming left off the roundabout (down West Hill, up Swains) to be confronted by a selection of reflected cyclists is often a bit disconcerting. You'd have thought I'd have gotten accomstomed to it by now, but no, it gets me every time.

^^^this made me spit a little bit of tea out, lolz

HTFU! It's not going to drop below zero so why do you need a balaclava?

Grow a pair.

:P

Is that what the P stands for?

Stelle on Pitfield y'day morning.
Recognition was too late for a "hi".

Dear Mr Ethnic-beany-twat-on-a-white-Unipak,
Why the fuck would you decide to overtake me as I'm coming up to a bollard on the cycle lane in Baylis Road? Is it because your bicycle is so rad or could it be because your bike handling skills are so beyawesome? Unfortunately, it's neither of those things... And no, I won't "Chill out, dude" because you almost forced me arse-over-tit and into the fucking kerb...
Cheers, Mr Spinny-on-his-polo-bike-Dude

PS And Mr Fixie-brakless-Kona-Paddywagon-skidder, it's really not very not cool to plough through a pelican crossing when it's a green man and there are families crossing the fucking road... You twat...

Omgz, commuting can be soo stressful lolz!

Does laying on a sofa all day technically count as commuting, Max?

Max is to work what Joe is to riding a bike

sorry I missed you. Hello

Tony Gubba chatting in my workroom today, nice bloke.

And I don't know if it's me, but having been away from London for a while it feels as if the cycling has gotten better and the driving worse.

It's deffo you.

Did you tell him that if you say his surname quickly and enough times you eventually say "bugger" ?

sorry I missed you. Hello

No worries, I was a bit tired and it didn't really click until after we'd passed. I hate that stretch of Marshwall and don't generally spot anyone out there so it was a pleasant change.

brakless is sooo last year, 3 brakes is where it at now.

starts planning a 4 brake bike

Got a "nice trackstand" from a passing roadie on the corner of Artillery Row and Victoria Street on my way home. Not sure if you were taking the piss but I took it as a compliment anyway. :) If you're on here, cheers, buddy!

To whoever was jumping the lights at Victoria St/Palace St junction; No worries man, just pay attention next time ;)

glad its not just me. had many similar experiences recently...to mr fixie skidder plus girlfriend on hollway rd tonight (black conversion)do some basic bike maintenance and tighten that chain before it hops off and throws you half way across the road....

It was nasty on the roads this morning, no one seemed to be looking where they were going.

Last winter I wore nothing but jeans, a t-shirt, and a flannel shirt over the top. Oh and some gloves when it was snowing. I don't know how anyone can cycle in a winter coat, I'd die of dehydration within a mile.

Was it you riding in a vest this morning down Bishopsgate?

yeah, I guess you can have too much of a pink-knitted good thing, eh? Who'da thought it?! Some of us don't have the luxury of a beard :)

So sick you can still manage to get to Nuno's for a free pizza?

Yeah, real proper bad sick. Probably dead now, in fact. THAT sick.

Me, all up in Film 2010
