Guy on a blue singlespeed riding like a nodder over Blackfriars this morning. Then I get closer and see it's the no rear brake variant of singlespeed idiocy. Then I see that the brake is there, but it's mounted the wrong side of the brake bride, and rotated 180ยบ such that it's useless. Despite being cabled in. And then I see that his seat tube is split all the way down, revealing full length of seatpost held in place only by an over-tightened clamp at the top.
Beggars. Belief.
Saw other things that would normally be worthy of comment, but this morning nothing compares to that. -

SPOTTED yesterday: a guy in Marmite jersey on the Southbound commute over Waterloo bridge annoyed me no end by repeatedly overtaking (when I was waiting at lights) only to ride slower than me. I was this close to punching him in the back of the headwhen he hopped the red light at the Old Vic and was lost to view, adieu, fair stranger . . .
marmite jersey riders, you either love 'em or hate 'em

Marmite has been banned in Denmark.
Just thought I'd share that...
Spotted no one today.
Did shout DAS at a trio passing outside my house yesterday, they did not react, I heard one of them say 'What did she say?!"

you were definitely shifting, a week of no sleep and 67GI put paid to any plans I may have had of trying to keep up. but with lights stopping traffic I was still just behind you as you turned off.

he was giving it some to keep pace with you from the looks of it. not sure if he's on here but he turned off just a bit further along tooley street. opposite the boris bikes.

Denmark seemed quite nice when I was there, very odd that the Danes have ceeded hostelry duties in their entirety to the Irish, and that you can smoke like a chimney in the Irish Pubs. Oh, and the airport.
Other than that, nice but dull- until the resident Iraqi population went bananas (something to do with football) and took over a square in the middle of town.
Packed out with a variety of blacked out window'd beaters, letting off enough fireworks to darken the air.
The Danes looked on in bemusement, then went and had a Guiness and a smoke.

No, it hasn't they're looking into it... not banned not certified (if that's the right word) as yet

How long were you there for? Think you need to have been there for a while to understand how messed up it is there. Not that the UK runs smoothly, but I'd take this country over my homeland any day.

This was from a while ago, someone Aldwych/Strand getting ticketed for RLJ-ing by two police on horseback. Fucking funny to watch people walking by trying to figure out what was going on. Would have made an awesome chase seen too

W0rd. If LFGSS kids are heading down there I'm in - I work on the same road. Pizza drinks? Nice.
What if we made it a monthly thing so as not to interfere with the weekly SE drinks. They do a good quiz in there too.
