Ok so I held out to post this but today was all most the final straw. So first of all you crash into the back of me and all most send me flying, then you spit and it lands on my leg and then today you over take me and hit the front of my wheel making me almost fly of my bike. Every time it’s been near and around Vauxhall Bridge. What’s going on???? Not only are you incredibly rude, but also you’re a menace on the road. I can understand having the odd crash but three times in 2 weeks and not a single word or apology form you WHAT IS THAT ABOUT??? So next time you try to kill me PLEASE say sorry and I wont think you’re a twat which I am sure your not. And if in some way I have offended you please let me know : )

OMG - spit on the leg!?!?!? - NO-ONE will own up to that crap..
Next time you see the guy take 'em down / follow them and spit on their sadlle. Have you checked the names/faces to bikes thread?

Just push the fucker off next time you see them coming.

fucking pricks riding fixed gear bikes

sounds grim as fuck.

(it's not me)

If I wasn’t such a lady I would say all of the above ; ) - i don’t understand why some people are allowed on the roads. people who own bike shops should say NO when they see a complete spooner walk in.get a fucking brake if you cant control it with out.

it's clearly Mashton.


He spat on me once.

Guy sounds like a bit of a knob.

He's probably flirting.

my god if that's how he flirts then he needs some reall help. no i think he wants to kill me i honestly do now : (

I don't know who the idiot on the bike is, but I just wanted to say that I haven't heard spooner used as an insult for about 10 years and it made me smile.

THANKS..... it seems to be my new word.

well, at least we know who to look out for now.

Maybe he's trying to get close enough to give you his business card?

They assured me at the shop, having a brakeless Condor would pull the chicks!
Lying bastards!

so what if he's a nob? he looks so cool riding brakeless isn't that all that matters?

being serious for just a moment, next time he runs into you ask him to trade his ego in for a front brake and stop being such a tosser.

or: ask him if he'd like a nice cup of 'shut the fuck up, cock'

oh, and we had an english teacher at school called miss spooner.

unsurprisingly we called her piss mooner.

i think next time you should carry a stick and flip the bastard.

Through the front spokes, and enjoy. Hopefully the frame won't be too buggered, at which point, turn, smile sweetly and ask:
"how bout you get a brake, or I'm going to do it for you".
And then offer to buy the bike off of him- explaining that recumbents are the new cool thing to ride- if only i had enough money.

I just spent today making sure i could ride with a front brake on blue bike. Its just so important- for those cnuts who pull out in front of you, and cars in general, and peds. fscking oxford. Full of idiot tourists with no idea whats going on. And students (of which i am one) who think that they are more important than the road.

Oh and don't even get me started on cnuts who ride blue track bikes. Cnuts.

funni thread

my advice: just explain to the guy what has happened to you and you want it to stop, or write down a long angry letter then give it to him in a kind manor
regardless of the fixed connection ppl may not be nice even if they're in the wrong

not mashton, he has a front brake, and is good at avoiding ppl, he avoided me when playing polo

Write a mafia style letter about how you have 'family' who will be looking out for you.
Then everyone on here will look out for him and maybe leave a horses head on his stem.

maybe he could use the horse's head as a brake.

or even a helmet. that would be 'freaky'. might get a bit hot though.

i'll make you a bag that says in big letters....."If i wasn't such a lady,i'd show you how to brake...WITH YOUR FACE....SPOONER!!!"

why don't we go and "get him"?

it can be like the bit in quadrophenia where they go looking for the rockers that beat up spider,and kick ten shades of shit out of the first one they find.....
I can hear the sound of insulation tape being desperately wrapped around the tubes of every white condor in london.....hehe

polo mallets at the ready.

STICKS FOR STOPPING FIXED GEARS!

it's in response to some court ruling in portland oregon, though i can't find the article.

i still find that funny.
but, that douche at the end.
"always believe in your soul [brakes]".

I have a jumper that says very similar. I should wear it to work more often..

Maybe he was just racing an alleycat? ;)

yeah did he have someone filming him?

millie: Get vocal. Let the dude know what he's doing is not cool. Something along the lines of "Oi you fscking cockwit, look the fsck where you're going or I'll ram my fscking d-lock through your skull"

duh! it was a surprise sprint, and the knocking in to you was to try and injure you or shake your nerves before the race. it's like when you're match sprinting someone new to your velodrome - you take them high up the bank, they fall, their nerves are too shaken to really compete against you when the sprint starts again.

but yeah, i would have said something, and if he did it again, throw him into a park car or something, maybe even sucker punch him while riding (which i mistakenly did during a race once, and still feel guilty about it)

Maybe he's a bike-mounted hitman out to get you! Was he wearing a cape?

Seriously though, if he's crashed into you 3 times in 2 weeks then he must have crashed into a shitload of other stuff too. Hopefully, eventually he will crash into something very hard.

I'm not against people riding brakeless, turd furgeson manages to stay safe and avoid hitting anyone/thing for example, BUT this guy obviously isn't experienced enough to do it. Either that or he's just cocky, inconsiderate and rude, and on top of that he's giving fixed gear riding a bad name!

You must REALLY be a lady (in a Pride and Prejudice sort of way.) I mean, if someone spat on me I think I'd want to ride them down and flay them alive with my multi-tool. Not sure I'd care if it was accidental or not. Did you not even shout and bawl at the eejit?

Print that off and stick it in the spokes of every black and white condor.

Or carry one around with you ready selotaped and stick it onto his back next time! <--- quite proud of that idea.
