Evening Standard still writing nonsense about bicycles

My favorite bit is...

Apparently in NYC you can get an A-head stem made with both clamps orientated on the same plane, you then face it back over the top tube and attach a door knob to the end. Tillers are the new black, bwoy

I'm goin straight down to BLB tomorrow.

Tillers, yeah !

You do realise that Juliet is a long standing member of this here forum don't you?

I think his point was more she's either a courier, or a professional track racer maybe? What a 'professional fixed-gear bike rider' (TM) is actually is beyond me too.

She is just a 'professional fixed gear rider' as in she is sponsored by charge for riding a bike around popping wheelies/looking cool, being a female face for charge and this whole 'scene' encouraging more people to buy the bikes innit.
