+1.. I hate friday afternoon/evening.
This morning coming in from Dulwich on the gears with no bag was so nice - such a beautiful day!
Incidentally, having ridden the Merckx around town for the past 2 days it's amazing how unfriendly all the fixie skidders are when you're on a geared road bike, it's quite funny really.
Ive experienced that as well... Its like i want to say i ride fixed to you know... Then you *know *youll get the rolled up eyes...Walking to work this morning i told a guy he had a nice bike and he did the same thing like i was just a ped with no mad skillz or anything.

Why would you feel the need to tell someone that you ride a fixed gear bike? It's like Max telling his yoga classmates that he knows kung fu.

I dont have the need, its just an internal reaction when i get there response. I dont care if they know or not. Its like theyre riding with out a saddle... Which is sad (and makes me smile) that all im doing is appreciating.

Me loving E&C castle roundabout having a blue van come behind me honking his horn on the approach and telling me to move my fat ass out the way as he drove past me on the roundabout. So I punched him in the wingmirror

It is isn't it?
Worse on that huge red bike of mine, they sneer at the sight of it, it's literally the anti-fixie, powerful brake, widest handlebar possible, fattest tyres, heavy oversized tubing, the very opposite of a fixie skidda.
It's already starting;
Saw Ed riding that ridiculous red thing last night in Holborn.

Nice work.
Yesterday during the super-congestion in town a really cunty van driver who tried to ram me and then deliberately t-boned me just sos I couldn't filter past him (almost sending me flying too).. fortunately he was so tightly packed in that he couldn't open the door and the traffic wasn't going anywhere, so he had to sit there and watch as I unscrewed his radio aerial (which I threw across the road) and flipped all his wing mirrors/windscreen wipers around, before hopping onto the pavement and fucking off.
It was worth all the traffic and danger just to see his rubbery red face scream at me from the cab of the van, when he was powerless to do anything about it :)

Being all non-chalant removing every bits from his vehicles and saying "Good day to you kind sir" before buggering off.

It was SO much fun - I did it all with a big smile on my face and then gave him a little wave/bow before pootling off.

you shouldve let the air out of his tyres while you were at it...

If you're on a geared road bike, just drop in the big ring and leave the silly skidders in your dust!
Surely that'll shut them up. -

thank you sir :)

I was tempted.. but really i just wanted to irritate him with something that was really inconvenient and funny rather than actually stop him from going anywhere.

For some reason I imaging you approaching to each part of the car and whispered "would you like me to removed that sir?" in a slutty tones.

Hahahaha
That was what i was thinking!
Shouldve planted a big oilly kiss mark on his window to finish the blow!

Brilliant.
The finishing touch.
I can feel them hipster-raping my lovely bike with their eyes...
"Nice frame, perfect for a conversion — it would look so hot with a really short stem, risers, a turbo, maybe even a 'spok..."
