Spotted in Manchester...

I'd like to see you block shots with this...

Just seen a guy in a yellow jacket on a green single speed with spinny gear & risers, rocking a smooth one handed wheelie along Walton Rd near Brooklands Metro.

Chapeau.

Fixed red Fuji track bike riding along Brunswick st yesterday afternoon at about 5.15 going to the Tesco garage opposite the Apollo. I almost asked him if he wanted to sell it

Drew last night at polo

Yesterdays spots...

Silver 'Alt Bike Company' with trickster bars jumping the red lights out side Tesco Levy and giving me a mild dirty look for making him swerve round me as I crossed the road. All the cool kids stop at lights just so they can do some epic skidz - try it some time.

White fixie cranking under the A6 tunnel on the loop whilst trying to resurface the place in phlem. Closely followed by a Langster which looked to have a very high stem on it.

Rather lovely Cotic RoadRat with Alfine hub locked up outside Pod on Albert Rd. Really nice build but in need of a decent saddle to really finish it off.

Nah this one had black deep v's - navigator pista I think

Lost bike????
A Manchester based mate posted this on facebook...

Is anyone in the manchester area missing a dark green On One Scandal? Currently being sold in Cash Generator in Sale, Manchester:
Green On One Scandal, FSA cranks, Superstar carbon seatpost, On One carbon fork, DIY mud guard made of old inner tube.

Call me suspicious but it seems an odd bike to have offloaded at Cash Generator.

I always see a Lemond Fillmore with bright pink bar tape that locks up in MMU and I've seen it outside the Black Lion too.

Whose is it? We seem to lock up next to each other, bike friends?

Guy on a yellow lo-pro (ish) frame with risers, riding past Sandbar this morning and then onto the pavement by Abduls

I'm always half tempted to steal the cranks off it. They're hard to find.

all the fixies are out today..

black and purple brev.m outside george kenyon and a lovely cinelli outside the simon building!

Perfect weather for it! uhhhhh

spotted, my dissertation, almost finished.

probably in as sorry a state as anyone cycling today.

After two days on the trackbike, I rode my slicked Inbred hardtail again today. Three quarters of the way home, in Sale, I noticed an unusual feeling through the transmission. Stopped and found an outer plate on my chain had left its pin.

Thus began a 30 minute "glass crank" ride with wet everything. Almost shivering when I got hope and I bet still no-one spotted me!

You deserve it for not coming to polo.

Edit: That's a bit harsh. You don't deserve it. But do come to polo. We miss you.

Dude on an MTB getting hit by a right turning car, seemed OK, got some photos and witnesses for him and left him chatting with police and cycle ambulance guy.

Also didn't know they had ambulance guys on bikes, how cool.

I like to race them when I see them.

I don't think they like it.

Right turning cars or MTBers that have just been taken out by a car?

I try and race everyone. Mainly ambulance bikes though. Or bicycle police.

He had a fair bit of kit on his bike, and it wasn't exactly a racer, had suspensions and everything, and an awesome flashy blue light that I want.

i see them all the time. front and rear panniers, looks slow as hell. i have no idea how moving that is anywhere near quick enough to be useful but hey...

Only just started riding through town in the daytime. Quite enjoying blasting through gridlocked roads.

An ambulance rider tagged onto Crit mass once, then started threatening arrests / radioing for backup.

He clearly wanted to be a copper.

The mass simply rode off.
