Spotted...

Nice to ride with you for a bit- I went Tower Bridge and it was awesome- no traffic jams!

I had a lovely ride today. It's amazing how the mere threat of bad surfaces can reduce traffic. So calm and quiet compared to 'normal'.

Spotted scores of people riding clipless peddles in a pair of brogues/ReebokClassics/HunterWellies/KittenHeels etc

JAMIE last night just past Jamaica way, a pleasure as always sir.

But not as much as being back on the bike properly though

Saw someone riding a polo bike into Harper Road just after I left work last night. Don't know who it was.

And I saw a complete tw@ of a courier on a Marin (not fixed or singlespeed, so fortunately unlikely to be one of us) burst through a red light on CS7 and scare the little girl riding her Islabike over the crossing. If he didn't want me to keep catching him and 'break his balls' over it, then he needs to learn to ride a bit better. Frankly, if you can't drop a fat middle aged asthmatic on a steel bike who stops at red lights while you sail through, you're a bit shit, aren't you?

Very shit, in many respects!

Spotted a guy on a Blue WordPerfect Colnago coming in to work this morning, had a really good chat about all sorts of stuff. You'd expect that though, we work in the same office. Nice.

DASed somebody on jamaica street this morning who was already skidding. Didnt get a chance to look at you but the all black attire makes me think it was laner or possibly cupcakes?

If it's my size and he ever wants to sell it, tell him to name his price.

I was at the crossroads by Camberwell Green this morning when I saw someone wrapped up against the cold grinning away at someone, and thought "why is he looking where he's going, it's a nasty junction this" only to realise it was Loic and he was grinning at me.

Morning.

Guy with a black Dolan and black and white bar tape passing me going up essex's road towards angel today, also spotted you yesterday at the same point

Hey, yeah that was me in my ninja outfit. Coming to rollers tonight?

I'll do just that, but I would'nt hold your breathe Squire!!

:-) I've waited nearly 20 years to get one, a few more won't hurt!

Saw a Peugeot with Holdworth stickers today, totally WTF.

Is that a case of 'when I grow up I wanna be.......'?

...a fixie-skidder.

Nah, I'm heading to the passport office in victoria to poor £130 pound down the drain as I was too foolish to realise one needs more than 3 months validity left on a passport to pretty much go anywhere outside of Europe. Fail

Have fun at rollers!

Bloody hell, he gets about he does. I think I saw Loic this morning on cycle path heading out of Peckham. Always dashing. Even wrapped up.

Calling out bad cyclists thread >>>>>>>

It's OK, he has a helmet. That'll save him.

Dark coloured bike, knee high green socks, rear mudguard pointing skywards riding along Uxbridge road to at least West Ealing (I turned off) - who dat? Rare to see a fellow fixed along there (though I was on gears today)...

Isn't that whatshisface? You know. Off the forum. Fuck, I've forgotten his name. The oldtimers might remember. He had a black frame from BLB, and liked to pose topless. Maybe there was some alliteration involved. Someone help me. Please.

Yes. It's him, him off the forum. Skoota?

I've remembered: Wapping Warrior. #swoon
