Please explain: Mental courier with dreads

No the best character is the Orange-coated superbikeman that tynan filmed.

You gotta' love him. :D

He was a regular in HMV on Oxford St when I worked there. He's really nice, if a bit wishy washy. He bought the pyramid from America via mail order, and he claims that it's stopped him eating chocolate. This is no joke, I asked him, he swears by it.

needs a board raid!

I also like these two nut bags. New Oxford Street and Clerkenwell Road.

Mr Where's Wally ? And Mr ELO, he's was flying along like a bastard, I have noticed that the weirder someone looks the faster they tend to go, perhaps they are trying to escape the voices in their heads ?

Hahaha! He's extraordinary. I bet he just threw that outfit together on the way out of the house. :-P

Have you seen him before? Does he ever wear other colours?

I have seen him once before, he was wearing the same gear, some other poster here said they know him from when he used to come to the bike shop they worked in, they said he does wear other mad gear besides that SuperBikeMan™ red set up.

Probably depends on what crimes he is solving or which super villans he is battling with that day.

I saw a guy the other day on Hackney road riding with a dog over his shoulder. That was the craziest I've seen in a long time. Just didn't react fast enough to take a photo. Did anyone else?

Whos the crazy courier guy who stares at everyone he rides past. I used to see him riding from herne hill/camberwell/elephant way and just spotted him again this morning central. Hes great.

Black guy, beard, dreads, wears like addidas tracksuit bottoms n rides a geared bike, he rides like a fuckin maniac and just stares at people dead in the eye at traffit lights and when he goes pat em.

Hes the best character ive seen on a bike in London. Whats his story?? Someone must know him.

edit: oh yeah i fucked up the title.

pretty sure the same dude blitzed past me on Vauxhall Rd heading away from Victoria on Tuesday evening. Fully caning it, no handed, staring at me whilst he went past. Ultra gnar points due to the amount of potholes on the road

I love Super bike mans stand-up-buttock-crunching action... work it tango man!

what a great thread :-)

i once saw a dude in a ful suit and tie going at a fair pace down Southwark bridge road, on an ordinairy looking 80's road bike. catch was that he was standing, surf style on the top tube and handlebars!

epic.

Wow mashton that's nuts!

OK so the Tango man is surely winning, mainly because we have photographic evidence.

There's loads more, I just don't carry a camera and never remember much past yesterday.

I like the whole carrying-loads-of-junk-on-precariously-attached-bread-crates look. there's a few of these around, one beardy guy who ridea a gnarly old BMX like this, think he has a boombox as well.

Last night between Oxford Circus and Farringdon, the sketchiest looking cyclist in the world. Basically a fat, short-legged businessman, in a suit that looked like it hadn't been dry-cleaned in 20 years, hauling himself along on a MTB that seemed to be stuck in the highest gear. Bloated, red-faced, panting...

Don't think he was a courier though.

i saw this dude in bayswater last year riding a shopper type bike with a small steering wheel instead of a stem/bars. it was silver painted metal and looked like it was from a big pipeline valve or something industrial. tosser was riding on the pavement though.

These two were funny, I suspect an afternoon in the pub was involved the way they were weaving through the traffic.

maybe he was an off-duty van courier? c'mon, there's a chance...

Reminds me of that French bloke stopped a few years back by the French police for speeding (he was doing something like 120mph in his van) - when they came to his window to talk to him they noticed he had no steering wheel - and was steering with a monkey wrench on the nut sticking out of the steering column where the steering wheel used to be.

Apparently it fell off years ago and he had never got around to sorting it out !

Seen a guy do this at the station here. Load a little terrier into a duffle bag and put it up onto his shoulder and ride off. The dog was well into, obviously he has been doing it a while, looked like he was loving it.

saw a guy with a small harry dog in a baby carrier back pack, but he was wearing it so the dog was in front of him, and he had goggles on the dog. funniest thing ever

'doggles'

have you seen the guy in shoreditch who hs built some kind of skateboard type thing just behind his handlebars that a jack russell sits on. its amazing

hey buddy

I'd like to see his other outfits. Maybe you'll catch him when he's wearing something else. That must be quite likely cos you seem to be filming the streets of London on a 9-5 basis. :-)

SuperBikeMan™ is all right by me. But I still wish you'd kept the camera on the lady riding in the opposite direction. We don't see the likes of her up here.

I take 15 minutes off for lunch.

Your dedication is commendable. We're all very lucky to have you here. :-)

But please film the girl next time.

yes, film the girl who rides the green raleigh pro race, and is lovely and i want to have her babies :)
