Spotted...

Dear Man on the blue On One - Embankment - Horseguards - Whitehall, 8.45 Monday 22nd,

I know you must be on here, because if you insist on riding 3 feet from my back wheel for more than a mile and then try to make small talk 'gotta love taxis', I know you must be truly dying for a spot on this thread. I was braking sharply not just for that taxi but to get you off my back wheel.

I was trying to tell you that you shouldn't tailgate people. The correct answer to this is not 'yeeeaaah'.

I was then trying to clarify that you are fucking dangerous, and to piss off, did you hear that, I wonder? I'm curious whether you know how dangerous you are or whether it doesn't matter as long as you get to talk to other cyclists that are trying to get away from you. I watched you do it to some other people too.

Just in case you were wondering.

Fucking weapon.

(Yeah so it's been 8 months, forum... hai!)

He's just drafting.. Instead of breaking sharply (endangering you both) Why don't you a) just ignore him, or b) up your pace and drop him in the pain cave..

Just saying

enter the pain cave1

Brave speaks truths from the OKR commuting handbook.

^It's true, when those crosswinds hit at the Bricklayers roundabout there's echelons all across the bus lane rotating smooth as silk...

Why should I have to go at any pace other than what I am comfortable with? Ignore him when he crashes into me as I manoeuvre, ignore him when he is blocking my view of traffic every time I look behind - no.

People who ride dangerously need to be told so, for everyone's future safety.

But leaving a 3 foot gap is typical Embankment nodder steez; you no can haz aero benefit.

A few vague spots for y'all. Conservative Values on Kingsland Rd some time last week on his way to climb the shit out of some walls. Where you get the energy to ride so quick and climb walls after work I have no idea... Again, sometime last week, pascalo crossing the Strand on to Wellington Street, smiling as usual. That is one cheery mo fo. :) Then J Cake and Leo on Friday night on the Spice Route. Saturday morning was pure painsville. This morning, dude on a blue lo pro conversion, pink hubs, brakless, clipless, somewhere in Hackney. Nice wheels! Then a girl on a brakless pink number on Old Street. One word. Quick.

I wish I could synchronise my commute with enough of the jaded OKR regulars to make this a reality. A 4 man pain-train blast at 25–30 mph would be a glorious way to get to work.

I'd start commuting down the OKR if this happened.

I wouldn't join the train. I'd just watch the carnage.

I'm with vic, bu then us Orrell riders should stick together :)

Up the pace, if he's not dropped, move up. Stare in his eyes. Ask him to do his turn. Get on his wheel.

Might need to drop that down to 15-20 but otherwise I'm in. OKR from Peckham Hill Street to NKR to E&C to Waterloo. Every morning. 8.30am.

Rep for you both.

Vic.. You could always let the nodder just pass you..

Cannot rep you again.. Can we take it as a given damo..

Took the TT bars off on Sunday for the hill climbing. An error.

spotted: slag's hair in this photo, but not in real life anymore. : (

Does anyone have that much fun anymore?

Just ask Coppithat to show you what's in his bag...

Lunch time spot. Joeslain, Victoria Street.
