Spotted...

OKR was closed this evening due to an accident. I hadn't noticed the blood though, or wouldn't have been so blasé. Hope they're okay

the way it looked I would say they're no longer here :(

just seen adoubletap's update.. good news. I also thought I saw him by the loampit vale roundabout

^You did

thought so, traffic was a bit mental for a chat

I had an uplifting spot on Duke Street Hill last night.

A chap on a Spesh Allez with crappy plastic pedals and vans but otherwise clad in Rapha lookalike gear aerotucked past LB station as if he was descending Col du Galibier. He then proceeded to try to trackstand at every set of lights but only managing to wobble forward at least 5 metres into the junction each time before doing his best Mark Cavendish impression as he theatrically sprinted away from the lights with his face almost touching his front tyre at all of 10mph before settling into a nice 15mph pace while frantically thrashing his head around and grimacing.

I don't know whether he genuinely rides like that or whether he was doing it for shits and giggles but it certainly tickled me pink.

I love it when I see people riding like that. They may look like idiots, but at least they're having a great time.

That sounds like me except for the Allez and plastic pedals.

He was definitely having a lot of fun. Put a smile on my face.

missmouse in prufrock. so surprised to see you in there (i was not surprised at all)

You should have Voecklered past him to show him whose boss

You mean that guy who rides a sweet fixie, drinks coffee and writes poetry all day? Massive fucking hipster.

I'm never writing another line of verse in my life. It's so 2012.

2012- verse and cross bikes.
2013- spitting rhymes and "fast" touring/audax

Wrong, 2013 is all about good hair.

2014, a horrible hybrid of a Boardman/Cannondale/853 bike.

Nice to know what we'll be seeing from you next in Current Projects, ed.

lol

2014 - The year the Fixed, Super Light, Super Safe Dolan will be ridden?

The Year of the Mayan...

Surprise spot 1000archangels (or rather he spotted me) at the traffic lights on Acton Street this morning! Was lovely to see a similar face on this foggy morning! =)

Who here rode what look like a fixed wheel bike with a big basket on the front this morning on elephant and castle taking primary?

Digger on OKR yesterday, and I think Clever Pun on Loampit Vale this morning... at least, calf tattoos were involved, but hat and buff coverage prevented facial recognition. Black condor, anyway.

I am amazed at the amount of leg/s still on show at this time of year. Mental.

Spotted the lovely cafewanda this morning on Long Lane and a girl riding a brakeless (beautiful baby) blue sorta step through mixte brakeless number around Russell Square this morning. She rode very nicely. Chapeau lady.

With some people it takes a very bad experience to learn from their mistakes.

Bare legs and no gloves.

-4C and you don't even have a pair from the pound shop?

i rode 2 minutes to tesco yesterday lunch without my gloves and wanted to die how people are riding without is beyond me

Double gloved this morning and still got to work feeling like Edward Scissorhands given the amount of co-ordination i had left in the ends of my fingers.

Legs have got to be on show though. HTFU!
