I'll be back in the ends for half seven if people are up for drinks?

There's a dutch guy who rides a recumbent bike in a yellow aero-pod (or whatever they're meant to be called). I've only ever seen him on Finchley Road and he doesn't have a flag either.

Vignette (I think!) round Regents, and someone else requesting a skid past Buckingham Palace, which I sadly was unable to answer.

Was that you heading down Constitution Hill yesterday, 7ish?I assumed nothing would come of it - especially as I was going in the opposite direction.

I'm on Collingbourne, I've seen a couple of colorful bikes locked up on Adelaide - could definitely go for a drink on Thursday, especially if this weather holds

Either you're a streetwise fixie skidder, year round cyclist, never wear fluoro and keep your upper body in Wiggins like stasis while pedalling, or you're a nodder, dressed head to toe in reflective day glo altura, head wobbling with every pedal stroke, at least for the two weeks of sunshine every July. After that they all go back to driving to work. There is no middle ground.

I thought it might be a bit swanky, but it's mainly terraced houses with Australians living 4 to a room... gets nicer nearer the river though

Since I've moved round the corner from the Queen Adelaide, it seems like these drinks haven't happened... Are there just not enough people in West?

always with the 'nodders'.

you ride a bike, you haven't done a tour of duty with the Green Berets. get the fuck over yourselves.

Maybe not, but I used to play CounterStrike, and I once had a go on Call of Duty, so I'm pretty much in the SAS.

Other night, going up Camden high street. Stop at junction between Parkway and Camden road behind a Peugeot that looks like it hasn't passed MOT in a decade. Lights go green, guy just turns left up Parkway. Inception moment where everyone and everything stops to watch. About 3 cars behind me just blare their horns at once in a moment of magic. Guy doesn't give two shits and just carries on, till an HGV comes bearing down on him, he casually swerves, drives up on pavement and continues driving around.

I go home and sleep.

Were there not cars waiting at the Parkway lights? Or just your usual camden tourists milling around the shops? Would have loved to have seen it.

Yellow bike, black aerospoke coming out of Cavendish square. You zoomed past, gave an epic skid and then disappeared off into the distance... hey!

I can't be the only bike pervert here though? If one goes past, even with a ladyfriend, I'll quickly check it out. Nothing wrong with being bikesexual

Bill Stickers is innocent!

Another tragic loss. It's crazy to think we live in a city where a cyclist dies every month. I wish his family and friends long lives.

I was at Shepherd's Bush green watching a whole group push through a zebra crossing with a young mum walking her child. The green man is for pedestrians...

Once one goes, everyone goes though. It doesn't help that the first two crossings are those ones which are meant for bicycles.

So is it completely unethical to go looking for components at Brick lane market? Or are there some sellers who aren't profiting off the work of bike thieves?

long shot, but someone riding fixed, possibly a dosnoventa, turning off portobello onto Blenheim crescent, just now. Would have shouted, but was mid drink! Lovely day for it.

Is it okay to use this thread for pleasant stories? Since moving to Shepherd's bush, I no longer have to struggle up to Whitestone pond before working through the school run tractors in Hampstead.

Instead now I roll down through Hyde Park, past the Albert Hall, the Mall, Birdcage walk and then across by Big Ben. Especially with the Hyde Park corner cut through and actual good weather, I haven't enjoyed riding to work this much since I had to cycle around Thames Valley.

Looks cool, but I wonder how long those wheels would last on London's roads.

Tom, sorry for interrupting your music at Hyde park corner, I was the bloke on the white geared Ribble, trying to find my way west. Nice to meet you!

RIP rider

You: forum cap, hybrid, uxbridge road. Me: walkenger holding bread. Only moved in round here on Sunday!

fella on a Strava decalled brakeless track bike, by notting hill - we chatted briefly. hello mate!

I had to go from Paddington to Shepherd's Bush yesterday afternoon. The traffic was so heavy there were times I got off the bike and pushed it down the pavement. By the time I got over the roundabout to the market, I had developed a cough from all the buses. Edgware road was good fun though.

My friend told me about this, he works right outside - such a tragedy. RIP Rider.
