basically if you stop for a minute and think abotu what your doing you probably won't do it, thats why if i ride after a j*int i ride like a treacle runner. Sometimes i just cast my mind back to the last juntion where i jetted between two vehicles at the right moment and shit myself when i see it in my head. You act on instinct 90% of the time, which i believe is best, cause over intellectualising ruins everything and makes you nervous, you can tell with some cyclists that they are nervous and processing everything really slowly, they are a danger, just like over cautious and indeed over zealous drivers.
p.s i have started to find that knocking politely and immidietaly saying 'excuse me' you really need to look and adding 'please' tend not to cause fights, if they act beligerant, smile sweetly and continue if they continue being a prick, break their fucking mirror, get on the pavement, give them the biggest finger ever and pedal like basterd.

The logic of doing bmx tricks badly on a track bike styled to look like a bmx is a bit lost on me. Someone's going to put pegs on a fixed soon and its going to be a bit embarrassing.
...surely you can get to your tricks ...miles away... quicker on a non bmx. man it must be a bitch to commute from trick to trick with your knees up by your ears.

Clarkson's version of that story is that it was Goldie, who was sat next to KM you asked "Are you trying to sell her drugs".
Thats sounds more likely... p.s. object17 i couldnt agree more with you thoughts, i don't have a telly which seems to piss people off when they discuss programs with you and you don't have a clue what they are on about, they look at you like you are deliberatly trying to belittle them, when clearly i just feel more wholesome for the lack of shit in my head.

i heard a funny story how clarkson introduced himself to kate moss at a party a few years ago with the line: "I'm jeremy clarkson i do top gear" To which she replied " I'm sorry i don't take drugs." much laughter ensued clarkson stumped... and then she obviously went to the bog and had a line of gak the size of one of clarkys eyebrows.

Hi guys it's a long shot i know but my friend estelle had her bag nicked from a van last night by a bicycle youth. It had her laptop and all her bike tools, pump, tubes, 15mm spanner, allen keys, home keys etc.
Real fucker. A phot below, its a grey bagaboo, with pink trim and green patches sewn onto it, a lobster, a flamingo and a cardboard price label. Its custom form bagaboo and very distintive, i think you'd have to be a fucking tool to wear something so obvious. Her laptop has all sorts of stickers on it of tigers and stuff, it was a 12" G4 powerbook.
So if anyone, see's ... you get the idea.
I am giving her an old bag of my own, and some tubes etc. but if anyone has a spare 15mm spanner, allen keys and pump that they would like to see go to a very nice lady, i know it would make her year. -

I'll be in Paris this weekend. I hope it rains here and your BBQ is a FAILURE!more seriously - that's a good idea. I suggest BBQ every sunday. We should get those big oil cans to create fires, like in 1980's American movies when you see homeless people keeping warm.
...if we can find a garage that does decent trade they eat drums of that oil and just send them away, or back to whence they came. I've recycled one in exactly this fashion. ....just means someone gotta hos tit in the off time.

Toure is a beaut, loved it around town but rode it to brighton and far too much flex after a long while, fine if your not riding fixed, where you can subtly adjust your seating position and then continue pedalling but everytime i'd get it just right i'd hit a bump and it'd knock me out of the loop again. i lasted about 30 miles before it started to hurt. Also they are very delicate and £80 so you have to be careful when flipping your bike upside down to change your wheel. Cracked mine after 3 months, its on my second bike now. Oh yes and if you have any kind of hole in your jeans the little wings at the back slice them open when you slide on. I tiny hole that had been their for years turned gaping as the lights went green. I also have an Alias which is the younger / cheaper brother, thicker, stiffer, 150 times better saddle, although i havent ridden it past 30 miles yet. Bought that in Condor, wanted the toure and the guy, (S.A, Boer, dutchman) really helpfully insisted that it would flex too much for a fix. Ended up buying both a couple months apart cause that toure is so frikin sexy... but the man was right i now look at wingflex longingly.
Also i bought some condor gel shorts, kept thinking i had lady ones...not much good for the back bottom. -
