Someone on a steamroller this morning in Stoke Newington commenting on my Dutch Creamroller. Sorry if I didn't seem very awake, my new beau isn't a coffee drinker and doesn't have it in the house in the mornings.
I thought we were beyond new beaus.
Bring your own damn coffee....

HER NEW BEAUTY IAlN! YOU REALLY GOT TO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED OUT.
Ed's done that thing again where he uses an 'l' in place of an 'I' just so he can shout. It's the most subversive thing on the forum. :)

At the lights today an impatient nodder squeezes past to save themselves 12 inches of travel, bumping in to me.
"You utter fucking nob jockey" was my comment as I went past. It was only then that I realised it was Boris Johnson.
We promptly stopped at the next set of lights. He just shamefacedly looked at the ground, he could not look at me.

Adam Empties going up Brixton Hill this morning. He looked dead serious, like he was on his way to a freestyle battle or something.
Rode in with Josh, he was on some macaframa shit, but I was in full nodder mode and wasn't having it.

Skully or a skully-lookalike zooming from Edgware Rd into Seymour St around 8:45ish this morning.
Also, a squirrel dashing across the road mere inches from my front wheel. Almost, almost.
Rep to prancer for the BJ.

A girl with a blue reynolds cap on Pentonville Rd, vintage geared bike. Though the bike was geared your combination of fashion sense and confident/capable cycling made me think she'd be on here?
Just interested to see if my theory is right. [/idlemindonthecomute]
I don't really do saying hello at the lights, unless there's actually something to talk about. Sure I could have asked there and then if you were on here, but that leaves the possibility of having to explain "the fixed gear forum" to an ordinary person.

At the lights today I bumped into a passive aggressive lycra'd up roadie while trying to squeeze past. I probably shouldn't have but it was early and I wasn't really paying attention.
"You utter fucking nob jockey" was his comment as he went past. He looked at me with an air of utter supremacy, he was clearly a human of high regard - I was humbled.
We promptly stopped at the next set of lights. I didn't look at him, and he didn't apologize, even though he is clearly a rude and arrogant individual.

At risk of sounding like the grumpiest bastard around I've seen some horrendous cycling in the last few days. Maybe the fair weather lot are coming out now?
Todays gem was a bloke who undertook a bus on LB after it was indicating to pull into the stop. No idea how rider didn't notice indicators and even after bus started pulling in, he continued to undertake instead of drop back as if he was trying to hold his ground. He then rode around the bus and started punching the driver side window remonstrating with him. Madness.

You have Rep. Brilliant spot and excellent governmental bollocking. Tony, Gordon, David, Nick and our other recent warmongering world police types would use this as an opportunity to point out how fortunate we are to live in a democracy where it is possible to inform those in power that they are 'utter fucking nob jockeys' without receiving a tyrannical response. *
*shit! Did I just inadvertently rep our foreign policy?

a bit old, but saw someone jumping red lights on moorgate last wednesday near liv st. carrying a massive bag under his arm whilst the traffic coming across us had already started to move. most dangerous thing I've seen in ages. idiot

Also spotted yesterday evening, someone on a hybrid or MTB (couldn't tell) zooming out of Market Place across Great Portland St at about 20mph without even a glance. Missed being sideswiped by a vehicle doing at least the same speed by inches. Utterly insane.
Must have really shaken up the driver of the car.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a picture of something like this on the interweb somewhere?

Have rep dj, takes one to know one.
Today I quoted the HG Wells line to a cute middle aged lady riding a red trike with a massive basket with dog down that hill to Battersea bridge from Lavender Hill. I had awesome ride to SheBu... Phew!
No, you just quoted back some Kevin Smith. Badly.
