  • I am too embarassed to admit it, but I also enjoy a bit of b)

    ok I see.

  • I saw a chap riding towards shop 14 seated on his top tube. Apparently this is the next big thing.

    I've done this, it's usually a move that seems from being at the lights in the hippy pro stop move and then going a very short distance.
    I did do drunken style of it last week with giving someone a double/dink/backie whatever you call it. I was sat on the cross bar peddling he was sat on the seat.
    we managed to make it most of the way down the street in soho.

  • Oh and option L for lazy.
    Staying clipped in and then just holding onto traffic light, railing, vehicle .

  • i'll go with (c) iii), be so epically tall that you can rest you arm on the top of your saddle.

  • I normally grab hold of a bollard or railings etc

  • but what i want to know is what each of the options says about you. there should be a cosmo-type quiz

  • "Overconfident and ready for a fall."

  • Amateurs

    I always go for the 'dutch wink' option

    Crikey, I think I can see what she had for breakfast.

  • Yeah sorry teddy, thread title is leading.

    I can only suggest that:

    a) try-hard
    b) finds it difficult to make decisions
    c) winning mentality
    c) ii) thunder-thighs
    c) iii) epic bike size fail.
    d) rooted, stable nature; overweight.

  • 'C's clearly have issues with their mothers.

  • a) try-hard CHECK
    b) finds it difficult to make decisions CHECK
    c) winning mentality CHECK
    c) ii) thunder-thighs CHECK
    c) iii) epic bike size fail.
    d) rooted, stable nature; overweight. CHECK

    I'm confuzzed.

  • As the weather has been nice I pack one of these and catch some rays at every red light.

    I'm gonna have a sick tan.

  • i usually deploy a hover-balance maneuver, using my right hand to hold my steering-bar, while running the (index finger of) my right though my lustrous wavy nose hair.

  • i always aim to hold on to a rail or post or bollard, so much easier :)

  • a) try-hard CHECK
    b) finds it difficult to make decisions CHECK
    c) winning mentality CHECK
    c) ii) thunder-thighs CHECK
    c) iii) epic bike size fail.
    d) rooted, stable nature; overweight. CHECK

    I'm confuzzed.

    I've been thinking of you all along.

  • I go for the roll into trackstand, stand there for a bit, then nudge the right foot forward, stall on the brake, unclip the left foot and balance for a little while longer- that way I can clip back in if the lights change, otherwise lower left foot to the ground.

    If the lights are still red and the green man comes on for the other traffic it's time to put the foot flat on the floor.

    Performing a Hippy is only to be considered if an epic wait is anticipated.

  • Like BDW I prefer the more artistic approach. Leotard is optional though.

  • ^ I cant tell whether that's real or photoshopped..but whatever it is, its basically awesome.

  • Now that's ^^^ what I call tight geo...

    It's real

  • "how do you stop at the lights and what does it say about you?"

  • i like to pretend the floor is hot lava and so i should not touch it with my feet (my bike is obviously lava proof)

  • I'm a newbie, what's a red light.....

  • c) with right feet in the cages, and never with the botton on the top-tube
