Spotted in Manchester...

good on you lads riding to Blackpool AND back. If you spotted some guy on an old single speed Nishiki, wearing a Banana Man outfit, that was me :)

haha didnt spot a banana man.

As well you should be - how long did that take you? Only saw a few riding fixed and a couple of SS - I bottled it and went on my road bike.... next year I might try it fixed...!

Cheers guys, it was fun but I was definitely feeling the pain on the return journey.

It took us about 3:45 there and about 3:30 on the way back I think.

here's the strava for the way there: http://app.strava.com/activities/66973652

and the way back: http://app.strava.com/activities/67059280

? Mine..?

I think so, you've still got the sliver one, wide silver risers?

Might have been mistaken, was dodging the people amazed by a free Coca Cola stall.

Quicker on the way back - well impressed! I had two pints a bite to eat and then slept in the car on the way back!

it was a shorter route on the way back but there were some pretty horrible hill climbs, my legs werent happy.

I just got video'd riding my polo bike on the A56 in Stretford. Some dude with a Black iPhone 4 in a dark blue Astra.

Must have been my eye catching Polo Couture wheel cover.

5g are famous.

it will probably end up on some time trial forum 'look at this guy with fake disk wheels'

Green Mash Bolt outside Mayfield Station

black stealth carbon fixie being ridden by a lady in spinning fields at 8pm ish

Guy on Specialized road bike cutting to the front of lights at Hilton, in front of four of us other cyclists waiting. Then failing to enter his toe clips and holding us all the fuck up.

Repeat this kind of story every day for last two weeks with different variations of summer cyclists. grr.

it will probably end up on facebook 'look at this homo with a stupid front wheel and a tiny bike'

ftfy, probably

Old guy on a Cinelli Vig rode past The Pub/Zoo and locked up a little futher down the road. He did not entertain when asked to DAS.

I'm gonna challenge him to a race.

team clonc outside garrett last night.

couple of guys locking up outside vinyl exchange, both white conversions with drops, on with blue rims, the other with odd coloured rims/tyres. oddly both brakeless but with no foot retention (except one, which had one clip on the right side).

Another couple of guys bombing down oxford road together, one on a Genesis Madison, another on a purple beast with a black front aerospoke, who could trackstand for days.

Pooface on Tuffnel Pk road. I was with a lycra'd Lolabelle. Hai!

Thanks, I thought I was going mad earlier.
Knew I'd posted but couldn't see it anywhere!

A few fixes outside font chorlton, inc red holdsworth with yellow bits,.

The other day I saw a black stealthy thing with orange trim in chorlton.

Always loads of fixed/ss at the Platt Field ramps too - lots of skaters riding then parking on the fence
