saw a bloke on a chrome charge plug with white saddle and white bar tape, singlespeed, by the library/council buildings at around 6 yesterday. then saw someone on an orange kooga at the top of broadstreet which may or may not have been fixed/ss.

Gonna have to give this one a miss, moving house the next day and need to pack!

Oh well, probably be there same time tomorrow!

Saw Lee this morning on Broad Street but he escaped me with his superior traffic filtering skills.

My only concern is are the train operator gonna kick up a stink about us all taking our bikes on the train at once?

Saw the same bloke I see every once in a while this morning, riding what I think was a blue on-one, wearing a red top, possible rapha or swrve cap (black with white stripe). Passed me outside the library/art gallery/council buildings this morning at around 10am. All the people from the buildings were outside (probably on strike again!) so were blocking the way. I got off to walk but he must've found a way through and rode past me, then down Newhall street and off into the distance. I've seen him a few times, said hello right to his face once and he ignored me! Anyone on here?

Is it going to be an evening affair? I'm sure I could probably make an appearance.

Here's my Bowery, covered in commuter junk:

Not sure I wanna go to this if I'm not gonna know anyone at all. Think Mike was saying he might be interested, anyone else?
Oh no I'm not going, was just making idle conversation!

It was interesting to listen to. I have no strong opinions one way or another. I just hate the way he cuts off callers without letting them finish. Although I suppose if he didn't people would go on talking all night.

Here's my trusty commuter in the snow this morning:

I'll be there, can't make it for anything before hand though, gotta work!

Spotted a dude on a black bike with sloping top tube, drops with yellow bar tape, had a rear brake so possible singlespeed (or just cba to take it off). Pershore road at about 10:00 this morning (Thursday).

I find hand stitched patches never last and always either come unstitched, or the denim where I've sewn it wears out too. Maybe I just suck at sewing? I don't bother anymore and just buy a new pair.

There's a special tool for that? I always just use a bog standard pair of pliers.

Bloke on a grey bike with bare chrome drops, riding up broad street on the pavement (tut tut). Black hair + beard.

Speaking of wind-ups, check this out:

Apparently pulling the brake stores up energy in the springs, which is released when you let go of the brake... shame it doesn't work! Check it out: http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2008/dec/1/AkiraYOSHIZAWA.htm

Observe him ride off into the sunset, never to be seen again.... great advice from the police there. Surely you were performing a citizens arrest using "necessary force"? What happened to the perp? No doubt they let him go, and wonder why people "take the law into their own hands".

Well if only a few turn up we can get a prize each :D, or some show off will probably nab them all.

Well I got hit last night. I was on a mini-roundabout, turning right, this dozy cow pulls out straight into me. Claimed not to have seen me... what did she think all the lights and scotchlite were doing right in front of her? I'm alright, took the impact with my face and protected the bike. She wasn't going that fast as she'd just pulled off, haven't even got a bruise to show for it. My glasses were a write off though.

A guy on a black dolan with white rims, one white tyre, one black, brakeless, riser bar + white grips.

PS. anyone noticed the spell checker in firefox tries to correct brakeless to brainless? hahahhaha

Is that mike?

Yes it is :D

Saw Shamim in the bullring without a bike on Sunday.
Seen the same bloke a few times on or around Hill Street, riding a blue bike (can't be more specific) who's pretty fast, always wears at least one item of Rapha.
Saw a bloke with blond dreads riding a yellow bike on Moor Green Lane, Kings Heath.
