Some fucker in London Fields on Saturday decided to take my bike for a 'spin' without my consent. I suspect he is a forumenger judging by his general get up. You sir are a cunt.

I ended up with a black eye once from my cousin throwing a dead cat at me.

@ citygent (don't know how to quote)

That is terrible, I hope you have fully recovered! Peds are a nightmare, I try to be careful especially in heavy traffic but when the unavoidable happens you are invariably going to make a mess of yourself/bike/them.

Another thing to watch out for is bus drivers letting people out of buses well before the stop. I had a rather large man literally jump into me on shaftesbury avenue one day. It did make for a pretty entertaining crash. It wasn't really his fault but the bus driver's, so I gave him a piece of my mind!

Speaking of the green cross code, I hit a pedestrian on Friday afternoon. He stepped out in front of a car leaving me with no time to attempt to stop. As a result I went flying over the handlebars and hit the deck, I'm not injured and neither is he, but the collision buckled my front wheel (has been fixed) and bent the fork slightly.
The guy was pretty sound and has offered to pay for the damage to the wheel but I'm not going to pursue the damage to the fork as I intend to replace my frame and fork as soon as I can get some cash together.
This is an all too common occurrence, for the most part cars etc are predicable in their movements on the road, but pedestrians are a nightmare. I have been forced into far too many compromising situations as a result of pedestrians stepping out in front of me.

Crazy whores.

Terrible news, my thoughts to his family and friends. R.I.P

I bought a Ivory Mix VAGX messenger bag after christmas. Thus far I have had no problems with it. It is super comfortable even with a lot of weight packed into it and they look the business for the price. It isn't massive but it for my own needs it's perfect. I usually carry two lever arch folders, bottle of water, lock and a few books and there is still plenty of room. Highly recommend checking them out.

Saw a guy on a fully gold lo-pro this morning beside Tower Hill, I nearly crashed checking that thing out! Whoever you are, where the hell did you pick that bad boy up?

Hey, where is that tunnel, it looks slick

Hey, I wasn't on the ride but came across you all at that square beside Liverpool Street, I dont know any of the forumengers so I gingerly took a few pics (without looking like a stalker I hope).

Hi, I would like to remove my name from the list if possible (no.59)? My cages have finally packed in and I had to invest in a pair of alternative straps. Would still prefer a pair of the above but can't wait any longer. cheers

Any chance of getting my hands on one of these? NSB X VAGX 2nd Messenger Masterpiece - Its the one with the lightning Fork, they have them on the VAGX website. Cheers

I could be well on for this, a little obsessed with coffee to say the least and its a good reason to get outta bed on a Saturday!

Better show my face at some stage I suppose and my bike while I'm at it!

Yo,

Looking for a cheap frame, forks and wheels to build my mate up a bike. He is willing to spend up to £150. Ideally something with a bottom bracket and headset. He is 5'10" so something around 54cm would be best I think. Horizontal drop-outs are preferable.

Cheers

Yo Erik, The steed is fine, but im walking like i have a garden knomb firmly rooted up my hole. its a similar feeling to being knocked over by a jeep cherokee, so i hear

At the time I felt like taking a lump of her hair as a souvenir!

sorry I should have cleared that up, she did over take me and then turned left without indicating

Understandably foolish when your approaching a large junction/on oxford street/behind an articulated truck. But on a normal high street, it doesn't seem like lunacy at all, I havent had any crashes before and cycle the same route every day. Its not hard to tell when someone is going to take a left, but when they literelly cut you off, of course its going to end in a mess.

Got hit this morning on the kings road by a chelsea tractor, suprise suprise. I was on the inside and the silly bitch took a left without indicating and nailed me in the process, over the handlebars I went and landed square on my hip (quite sore but nothing serious). Obviously infuriated, I clambered to my feet and proceeded to eat the head off her for not realising how dangerous her terrible driving is to cyclists/pedestrians alike. She said it was my fault, for cycling on the inside? am I mad in thinking that we are not supposed to cycle alongside the footpath? Futhermore, its the kings road, narrow and lots of traffic, thus cycling in the middle of the road is about as clever as commuting on a unicycle

Anyway, didn't get here reg but shouted enough profanities at her to never do it again, silly silly woman.

TFL are pretty good for the most part, but the tourist buses flying around the city, jaysus, arrogant pricks

too right, had some wankstain in a taxi cut me off on a bend beside buckinham palace, I was just beside his passenger window, he pulled in front of me leaving me with a metre at most to stop as he took the bend. Managed to slam the front brake and luckily avoid getting minced. Caught up with him and said 'are you trying to fucking kill me' and he responds 'yeah, that was the plan' and drives off. TNUC

I saw a guy riding one and had an orgasm, took it from there really, the daily commute is a fairly jizzy affair

by the by, its a 25.4 clamp im after
