Spotted...

My continued stalking of Origamist is coming on nicely with another spot last night followed by a quick 'spin' from oval up past stockwell.

then he destroyed me on the incline to clapham north and vanished over the horizon.

nice chatting to you dude. no doubt see you on the smurfway again soon.

Dalston Junction at 8.30ish this morning, a male with:

• LFGSS hat
  
• Surly Steamroller (gatorskin tyres)
  
• Curly ponytail
  

Skydancer?

dude on the new kent road this morning, full face downhill helmet and goggles riding a full sus BSO that was creaking like it was about to collapse under his weight at any minute.

maybe next time spend less on the head gear and more on your wheels mate

i cannot believe you've not read any magnus mills, luci. He's right up your street i reckon.

"the restraint of beasts" is pant wettingly funny.

+100!

Cliveo enlightened me, so I've done an Amazon raid - my wallet is lighter, but my life will be richer! Can't wait for the books to arrive.

We should take this to the what are you reading thread, but your work has a lot of similarities with his. Like you, he captures the repetitive tedium of work really well.

Man on a Dolan fixeh remonstrating with a black cab in Shoreditch this morning. FIGHT!

Guy outside belfast city hospital on a red fixie couldn't get any specifics. Seemed a little offended that I assumed he was on the free wheel from flip flop hub.

Digger track standing at Notting Hill Gate this morning.

Hipster >>>>>>

6pt and Hoefla refusing to do a skid (or somefing) for me at the junction of moorgate and Gresham Street about 11.30ish.

Sorry I no have time to chat, had to get back to office for a meeting.

Good to roll in with Rich Cupcakes this morning. This is a very sociable new commute I have.

Xander, on his bicycle, crossing the Hipster spice route around 4pm

Bloke riding brakeless, big hair, backback and specs. We rode silently and stealthily together from Mare street along Amhurst road

missmouse going faster than me on okr this afternoon. good supermarket chat

Lords roundabout this evening:

Guy on black fixed with deep silver rear wheel, and skate lid asking me for directions to Camden - might have been Australian?
Hope you got there alright - was in a world of my own.

Oh hai! I got out of uni early so I could take the direct route through town without it being too busy. It was still busy

^^^^^^Hi Rosie!

We were neck and neck :) Lovely to see you my fellow Peckhamite. xx

Katie P OKR.. Reeking of chlorine.. Smiling as ever.. Lovely way to start the day.

Be-raphaed Mercian rider spinning past me along Queenstown road this morning.
I was lost in music.

All the people, so many people.

Two Lycra-clad individuals on Bayswater Road.

1) Chap heading east dressed in full Lycra riding a Halfords double suspension mandem 1 brake special edition. You are the king of the road. You bossed that entire of road and were clearly giving it the beans from the minute you got on the road this morning. If that's what you use to commute then I salute you. You'd be deadly on carbon.

2) Another fully-Lycra'd individual hoofing it along on a Boris Bike heading along the same stretch of road 40 minutes later. I have to admire the tuck position you adopted whilst flying down past Notting Hill Gate, heading towards Shepherds Bush roundabout. I'm not sure those machines were built to achieve those speeds.

Got DAS'd near the Foundry last night. Sorry I didn't comply, but was filtering through traffic. Still, made me smile. Been ages since I got a DAS.

Who hollered and waved at me this morning beside Oval just milliseconds after I had an unclip fail whilst skidding to a halt at the lights...?
I almost ran into the back of the motorbike in front whilst doing an accidental endo. Stylish.
