I confess...

another forumenger (who shall remain nameless) and I took the tube back from wests this week.

(it was raining and I had pie-the-size-of-your-head indigestion)

we were approached by some kid who was really interested in our bikes.

"nice fixed gear bikes!"
"thanks"
"are you on the london fixed gear forum?"
"yeah, why?"
"all my friends are on there!"
"cool. tell them you bumped in to hippy and murtle on the tube with their bikes"

:-)

hahaha!

1. I usually state photography as a hobby but I've only just learnt how to use my Canon 350d's manual functions after a couple of years. I also hide my inadequacies behind hipster Lomography cameras inc. the Holga and the LC-A+.
   
2. I'm studying Graphic Design at University but I can't draw.
   
3. I want to get into advertising because the ruthless bastard'ness appeals to me.
   
4. I used to ride a Langster and now I ride a Lo-Pro with an Arrospok.
   
5. I can barely wheelie my bike let alone skid, trackstand, or do those tricks in which people mangle their bikes.
   
6. I wish my riding buddy had a proper bike.
   
7. I hate having to stop and wait for my girlfriend every time I go for a ride with her.
   

I can certainly empathise with 7...

I've got a white Brooks Swallow but I'm too embarrassed to put it on a bike.

i'll buy it off ya...

(i have no shame)

I was actually given it which complicates the issue further as it strikes me as extremely ungrateful to flog something that I was genuinely blown away to be given.

I've always wanted to tip one of these over:

but also own one.

two more things:

1. i realise, having done a decent amoiunt of riding on them, that despite their excellent build quality( the wheels- thanks arup!) I just don't like my hplussons very much, so watch out in the new year, they'll be up for sale- on goltechs.
   
2. i really want an aerospoke, but will never get one.

Bad dad confessions:

1.While working on my, as yet unridden Bob, I told my 2 year old:
"If you're not careful you might scratch it. Then daddy will cry"

1. He is still very excited about me getting it finished though, as this means I can take him out in his child seat. I have'nt yet managed to tell him that this ones 'just for daddy'

I bought him one of those trikes with a handle to push him around on. I made sure that it had a freewheel, so he could rest his feet while I pushed. This was a mistake as he is now struggling to learn to pedal.

Fixed gear FTT(toddler)W!

Its not really bike conditions here at the moment. So for his 3rd birthday in January, we have bought him his first set of skies!

ha! wonderful, by time hes 4 he'll be ready for a board! good age to start him ..start as you mean to go on and all that... paints a cute pix, have fun on the slopes!

I confess, I really want to put either of these two on my bike. I know they are probably ludicrously useless for riding on the road, and probably motherfucking expensive, but I'm building a hyper-tech stealth bike and I fucking want them.

i took every one to a gay bar last night (sunday)

i threw up on londonbridge station twice this morning.

i'm very sad and i miss you all.

Is'nt that the nasel attachment of the professors 'Smell-o-scope' from futurama?

(sorry, could'nt find a pic)

I bought something from Rapha today (it was reduced to £10, and is for a friend).

I take the bus at weekends.

I can't do any tricks...

...but am too shy to go to Trixie Chix and learn some.

Am clearly in a drunkenly confessional mood tonight. Hmmm.

I own eight bikes at the moment even though I spent most of last year moaning about how 'it's not about the kit'

I told VB I don't have any Rapha.. I do.. I have some of their magazines.
But I don't read the articles I just look at the pictures.

I spiked a co workers cup of tomato soup with 8 laxative pills, this was a few months ago. The next day he came into work saying he was up all night on the throne. He sharted whilst he was talking to me and had to put his keks in the bin and go commando for the rest of the day. I have not told him it was me, he was being a right cunt at the time and in my mind, deserved it.
