they're not ideal for London streets andy. absolutely not.
but they're a right laff.
my point is that some people might be riding them for reasons other than rpm's sullen assertion that it's all about wanting to look cool. the clown ride eventually evolved to thumb a nose in the face of all that shit. true - most of the lo-pro massive were too vain, precious or otherwise self-conscious to turn up but we tried.......

What a load a horse shit. Professional cyclists are just as fucking vain as your shoreditch twat. To point the finger at hipsters on lo pros when Briko clad Cipollini is mincing around in a fucking Tony the Tiger one piece is truly taking the fucking piss. As I said before vanity is not comparable to performance. It works both ways.
Oh dear, truth hurts hipsters I see.

Ride them, enjoy them, but don't spout bullshit that says they are ideal for London's streets. They are not.
Better than a front and rear 700c track bike with overlap and drops.
I prefer a lo-pro to a track bike on the streets please thank you. -

Haha! this a is just it though Phil, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with riding them for whatever reason, just don't claim practicality . You yourself are honest, it's a laugh, it's fun, you like how they look. Shame there are others who's minds are as small as their jeans.
And I don't make sullen assertions, just call people out on bullshit. Like the deacon who likens Cipo to some Bethnal Green waste of space.

Obviously I assiduously follow fashion and count myself proudly as Hipster du jour, but even I would not count my lo-pro as practical.
Beige slacks are practical.

Since when dutch bike aren't practical?!
I'll put a coaster hubs on your bike next time you lock it up in Wimbledon for that remark.
You misunderstood, I was saying it's good that people ride different bikes for different reasons, otherwise if practicality was the only reason we'd all be on dutch bikes.

Ok I'm done. (Cretin walks lo pro off into sunset to Bethnal Green) One day tho, dreams I reckon a young exhipster will make it to track professional, then I'll be laughing. Sportsmans bet ;o)

Dunno, he'd probably have to be quite a young exhipster, they start early these days. (Pros not hipsters)

In fact the minimum cycling speed in a cycle lane should be 20pmh. If you are riding slower than that go on the pedestrian path

Why do you go in the cycle lanes?
There is simply no reason to go in them. Unless of course a lorry has exploded and its debris is on fire and burning on every other part of the road and pavement. -
