I took this photo last summer in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.

If you look at the rock face in the far back ground (dead centre) I swear you can see Jesus!

^ What locks have they got? ;)

IMHO I've always felt that looking out for peds is part of my responsibility as a road user. Yeah sometimes they do silly things but shit so do I. You can't expect to barrel through Covent Garden at 35MPH and get pissed off when you take out a tour party milling around in the road.

Nope, he didn't arrest me. I didn't bother asking, just assumed it was protocol.

"Right to remain silent" that sounds way off the mark to me. The police can arrest you, talk to you and then unarrest you before sending you on your way. But only for a pretty good reason not for fine I would say.
Maybe he is fake, tapping up cyclists for 30 queens a pop to feed a crack habit.

look like he finished with his bike, a hit or miss, but defintely a hit for me for originality, the wheels that he build is fucking lush when painted black.

It's designed to be dismantled after the games, maybe they're just testing that?

MTB chainrings attacked my village, killed my brother and ran off with my Fiancé

^^^ sounds like the voice of experience?

Highway code says you can pass on the left if:

1. traffic is moving very slowly in queues
   
2. traffic on the right is turning right.
   
   

Blue Quinn says you can pass on the left if:
1. you are on the left or there is a gap on the left
2. you are going faster
3. you feel like it.

You can pass on the left if:

1. there is a gap on the left barely wider than your handlebars
   
2. you are going fast enough to pull a skid
   
3. you feel like pissing off some cabbies
   

When approaching a queue of traffic turning right I normally go to undertake on the left. If you can get to the front of the queue before anyone moves off then no problems.

If traffic is already moving (or about to move) through the right turn I always take up position just behind the right rear corner of one of the vehicles and wait until after the turn to over-take (if it's on).

IMHO diving down the inside of a vehicle turning is never likely to serve you well.

The only people who do dumb stuff in front of me so rarely that I can't even remember the last time it happened are motorbike couriers.

Come to think of it I've never had any proper run ins with motorcyclists. In fact whenever I've fucked up a bit and got in the way of a motorbike (not dangerously at speed or anything, just inconvenienced them a bit) they tend to show a great deal of patience and road-sense while I sort my shit out.

I was riding behind and to the left of a cab once and saw a left turning up ahead and thought 'right, better watch this guys indicators in case he's going to take this turn'. Watched and watched, no indicate, he still takes the left turn and cuts me up and just about stops in time, I knock on the window and ask 'You know what indicators are for right?', 'FUCK YOU FUCKING CUUUUNT!!! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW YOU DON'T FUCKING DRIVE DO YA NO SO THEN FUCK OFF!!!!' was the reply, I was left too stunned to say anything and just rode off. You know how a man's voice goes really high when they are ultra-pissed off, that's how this guys voice sounded!

A cabbie was right on my tail once. There just wasn't enough room for him to pass, but he insisted on constantly reving up inches from my back wheel. When the road widened he came along side and I suggested he 'fucking back off a little'....

He absolutely exploded! Went completely bonkers. Red faced, foaming at the mouth he let rip big style, 'CUNT' this 'CUNT' that, visibly shaking with rage, slamming his fists on the steering wheel. It was all completely over top for the situation. To be honest it left me so stunned I had to pull to the side of the road and take 5.

I guess cabbies have to put up with a lot of stress driving round London all day but Jesus! I think some are just ticking time bombs of rage!

"Cheers drive!" [/brizzle]

I quite like buses. Not had a bad experience with one yet. Like el pollo says - they're in no rush so are pretty relaxed.** I'm not very keen on coach drivers though**.

I hardly ever have any problems with bus drivers, but coming over Westmister bridge today a Italian coach overtook and moved into the curb the second I was behind the cab. Completely cut me off but I could see it coming so I nipped up on the pavement. At the next lights I caught up and stopped directly in front of the coach and when the lights changed I pretended not to see them and made it wait for a minute or so.

Ha I showed him! He may have got close to killing me with his back wheels but I slightly inconvienced him at the lights!! I think we all know who's the winner there...

Forget the abs dude... look at my fucking couch!

You got a deal going with new balance Balki?

and ikea?

It's not that much harder track standing on a freewheel... give me a slight incline and I would piss all over that 10 fold. I'm going to practice in the living room tonight and I bet I could hold it for a whole episode of The Bill.

Whaaaaat? 21 seconds!

what is the world record for track standing? been trying to find out for ages, maybe give it a go, must be like 24 hours or something surely?--anyone up for setting new guinness record.......................

What about the world record for the number of consecutive/group track stands? Why don't we do a track stand flash mob somewhere?

My girlfriend keeps telling me this but so far I'm lacking progress.

i love the look of this. get some cargo shifted in style. nice.
there is a motor on there ( 500-watt electric) but that'd make it even more appealing for those who move a lot of stuff around urban areas etc. whatchamacallits... couriers. yes. them.

There was one of these parked at work today... porn it ain't. At first glance I thought someone had vandalised a moped.

You have me worried now. I know I'm not going to win any competitions with that but that's very good going for me.

It's a start... keep practising and you'll be able to hold it for longer and longer. Once you get the hang of it you should be able to hold it for minutes not just seconds.

I think this could be really interesting.

I was aiming for this

but I was probably closer to this
