Nice courier wants your help

I got done on sunday....

He was still cleaning the lens when he got to my place.

Is it gonna be an exhibition called Fakenger!?

btw this was a serious suggestion... why else would a courier want to photograph a load of non-courier fixedwheel nuts most of whom seem to be rocking the fakenger look?

Not that I'd mind.

Sloppy seconds.... sorry i mean minutes, hours.

he came up to my place and did me in the garden.

Waaaaaheeeeyyyy !!!! :D :D :D

@tynan matching your bike?

I am going to have to agree with you, why else would a courier want to photograph a load of non-courier fixedwheel nuts - if not to do an exhibition called 'Fakenger'.

Non-sequitur alert ! :p

I was rocking the bearenger look as I was dressed up as a bear (seriously). It is next year's rolled up jeans, believe me.

@tynan matching your bike?

That one was in the wash, I did it in my full body bear costume.

One of these?

That's me on the left.

Non-sequitur alert ! :p

Who you callin a lert?

I believe this is why people are reluctant.

I'm proud of my fakenger status, been fakin' it since 1996, I am thinking of doing a range of durable fake packages for fakengers to 'deliver'.

Who you callin a lert?

You, you racist, have you got something against lerts ?

Awesome. Just really heavy awkward weights.
Do they come in rainbow colour sets? If so I'll take 10.

hello; sorry, forgot to check my own thread. everyone's welcome; drop me an e-mail if i have not PMed you. wednesday is my main day at the moment - putting in more miles than i do at work - but i am flexible. thanks to everyone i've met so far; nice bikes, nice blokes, nice women. nice nice nice.
ah, sorry again, didn't see the end of the thread. it's not my idea to take the piss out of fakengers or use that word at all; i post a lot on Moving Target and if you look at those you'll see i come down on the side of saying the fakenger/courier argument is pretty dull and pointless and couriers shouldn't be so precious about it all. I've had stick on there for NOT calling it Fakenger.
I've been a courier for nearly 16 years and riding fixed for about ten of those and the project came about because i noticed a lot of other people who aren't couriers had caught on to it's advantages and pleasures. this was before i'd even heard the word fakenger. i don't want to include couriers partly because i think they'd be even more reluctant and partly because i spend all my time with them and it's enjoyable to meet people who ride but do other jobs too. I am not certain the project will work which is the reason to do it, to see what you get and to see what other people make of it. Essentially i love bikes and i love taking pics and this is a way to combine them. Hopefully this will reassure anyone who has not come forward for fear of being ridiculed to do so now. Which sounds like a Crimewatch appeal. Don't have nightmares, do sleep well.

I believe this is why people are reluctant.

i'm reluctant mainly because as a "snapper" I feel duty bound to redress the balance by turning him down. :-)

by the way i met Will a couple of weeks ago and he was a really nice bloke. the project, if that's even the right word, is totally legit and i'm glad to be a part of it. there was no element of 'fakenger' to it (chips on shoulders anyone?). frankly i couldn't give two shits anyway. some might describe me as a 'fakenger' or even a fuckin 'hipster' but it doesn't wash because i know it's all about the bikes and what they offer. and that's what this is all about, love for cycling in the city. end. get involved.

I love cycling in the country so for that reason, I'm out.

(and the fewer photos of me there are, the more beautiful the world is, apparently )

Oi Will the stick you got on MT was only lighthearted piss-taking,we all love you really.
Ya fakey-lover.

fake lover! :-)

Yes I get around.
Sometimes with tubes!

Apologies to anyone i was supposed to meet and photograph today but i've got some kind of virus, it's what happens when you spend all your time with unwashed delivery slaves.
Especially sorry if i have not texted you already. will try and rearrange for next week. I'm off to bed. xxxx
