Spotted...

Chap on Green and Yellow Cinelli, and wearing a Condor cap. I said a very lame 'Good Morning'.... I'll be honest, it did lack effort on my part. Not a morning for positive interaction - my apologies

depends which agency you are at

I was bailing myself out of the 'allusive' comment, no idea if I was accurate or not...yet

Ludwig just got these wheels. I hope this doesn't happen to him. Though I did warn him.

Hattie, after camberwell towards oval, hello!

And not far, that dude with 3 cameras! One one the back, one on the front of the bike and one one his helmet (unless this was a light... not sure)

I looked it up...

It did not feel right somehow... not a good vibe, I don't know...

^ridiculous behaviour.

^ridiculous behaviour.

me?

(I guess you were talking about the guy though...)

don't like it either...very nineteen eighty four, where the kid dobs in his dad

isn't it tantamount to impersonating a police officer? in which case i want to impersonate an SO19 officer.

I really can't see how these stupid hi-viz vests do not constitute impersonating a police officer, that is clearly the intent of anyone wearing one.

Legal position aside the idea of hoodwinking drivers into behaving considerately is surely very short sighted. What are the deceived motorists going to think when they tumble to the deception? Will it be "clever cyclists, I have learnt a valuable lesson and shall afford them the time and space they need from now on" or "those fuckers tricked me"?

Sharing the road space requires all users to show mutual respect, those vests do not demonstrate any respect for fellow road users.

If you really want other road users to give you a wide berth surely the hotpants and rugby socks combo is more effective.

which hotpants and rugby socks wearing cyclist are you talking about?

Just wait for the new page, then, like magic, he will appear.

scared to press refresh

me?

(I guess you were talking about the guy though...)

Definitely not you, veLLo.

This is what I was getting at:

Guy on a black IRO heading from Caledonian rd to Camden road this morning.

Definitely not you, veLLo.

To be honnest, althought the guy's style did not inspire me anything good, I was not too sure how people would perceive this, in the sense that, after all, it's more cyclists on the road at the end of the day, which is probably a good thing... I have heard that kind of approach on the forum as well, and am not completely against it either depending on context... anyway, that's why I was checking...

But, like you, what middleofnowhere says, is how I felt spontaneously about the triple camera guy...

I thought you were kidding that you'd taken a picture of him. He definitely had bad vibes.

You, on the other hand, had GREAT VIBES with your double denim look!

In more spotting/less bad vibes news, I had a chat with Kati on the north side of Vauxhall Bridge. I'm loving my new commute, I must say.

Corny, coming through st johns wood earlier.
Good to see you sir

^^^ I wonder if he keeps the footage or just deletes every day. If he keeps it he'll have several hours' worth of footage of me frowning at the rear camera lens.

Poots on Southampton row. I was being a lazy bus wanker.

Yo! JB! Hope I wasn't being a cyclo-wanker - had a bit of a challenging commute this am : /

was just coming on here to post the spot of Edmundro, but am beaten to it.
Was dying for a piss, so apologies for the quick dash off, and many thanks for making sure my bike wasn't bitch locked by the officious "security guard".

Then in my office away from home, Dammit, Digger, and Temper Temper...

All that camera surveillance doesn't really help with the aim of going from a culture of compliance towards a culture of consideration.

I think I may have spotted a/the hillbilly-lookalike today. Marvellous red beard. And another bloke who had a marvellous mane of golden hair. Lots of hair on top and a great beard. Neither on here, both riding geared hybrids. Then a guy from Green Workforce.

Shouted DAS to a dude in Angel, front of City and Islington college. Had green on his wheels tis all I could remember. He looked my way and I lifted my can of drink as a wave...
