It'll never catch on.

can we make this a sticky?

Last night a driver winds down his window at Old St roundabout "I am going to fucking kill you. You think you can wiggle your butt in my face" and proceeds to chase me off the round about. Thankfully he was caught in the traffic going down Old St. All I had done was cycle in front of him fully clothed. Clearly he found my pert arse rather too tempting and wanted to tap it.

Today leaving Richmond Park at Roehampton gate a car starts beeping at me. At the junction with the Upper Richmond Road I knock on his window and ask why. His response "There is a cycle lane and just because you are in a bit of lycra does not mean you don't have to use it" My response was to ask him if he understood the rule of the road and that my presence had not held him up as there was already a queue of traffic. He carries on shouting at me, so I call him a cunt and do the slow ride thing in front of him for the next 30 yards, whilst he beeps and keeps trying to pressure me out of his way.

But the counter to the above was someone saying "nice fixed" when I pulled up next to their car at another junction this afternoon.

I must also acknowledge that some bus drivers, cab drivers and chelsea tractor drivers have let me out at times and even smiled and waved.

James, let's face it, it's just your riding style.

I had this tricked-out 4x4, proper hip-hop ride, pull up next to at the end of Long Lane late last year, music blaring out. The driver winds his window down and says to me, but also for the benefit of his girlfriend sitting next to him, "That's fixed gear, innit?"

For various reasons too boring to go into I was actually riding singlespeed at the time. "It's got one gear, yes", says I.

"Fixed gear, yeah, wicked." he says, this time more to his girlfriend than to me.

When the lights changed and we pulled away, I took care not to use the freewheel, thus to maintain his high opinion of me.

Scum?

Where's yer fuckin' multitool?

the girl that put me in hospital for a week took off =(
if you're out there; hello!

drunk people n neighbourhoods are never fun either. swerving all over the place going the exact same speed as me =/

i'm scum?

news to me...

'Which fuckin' multitool?'

"this fuckin' multi-tool"

Always ride at least 1 metre from the edge, for everybodies safety. Means you dont swerve out for potholes and get rear ended by cars.

Not always possible around here. So I ride in a straight line. Usually only have to move a few inches to get round pot holes.

Cycle training will give you a good idea when to take the primary position and when not. Try to take it as often as possible but you don't have to all the time.

Just had a nice conversation with a black cab driver, who very politely asked me something like: " Wow, but how you guys are doing to keep your balance like this" ( I was trackstanding at the Farringdon/Charterhouse intersection, heading to Holborn ) ... The guy was really utter cool, wishing me all the best and didn't fall by any means into the usual black cab triple neck bald pinhead category generally described in this forum ... Anyway, all the best for him, this made my day.

Nice one. I was at London Bridge one day on my Fuji and a cab driver drove up very close. I turned around prepared to get annoyed but he went: 'That's a steel frame, isn't it?' Yes. 'Is it fixed?' Yes. 'Looks beautiful.' Similar with a pedestrianengerist at Holborn Circus once: 'Where can I get a bike like this?' Nice to get some appreciation.

Most cabbies applaud me with beaming grins as i carve past them and pedestrians tend to chant my name and throw flowers and confetti at me as i fly by... An old lady actually burst into tears once at the sight of my chromed forks

You're still scum. And the old lady was just feeling pity. ;)

me too, actually there was a bloke who was wondering what kind of bike it is, instead of having to go through the explaination of a fixed wheel bicycles, I simply uttered the two word and it make sense to him, those word?

Chris Hoy.

it nice when the average people heard about Chris Hoy, they kinda understand the concept of fixed wheel bicycles.
