Hola!
Hola! Brick Road? You mean Dick Lane, surely... Did you shout? Blanked me huh.

I had just been by the carpark to find no one there. Just passing really, I was on the grandad ride so not really looking to do any nose-manuals.

Spotted Jonny last night stopped at the end of Gray's Inn Rd.
I was behind some cars turning into Grays so basically road across you - didn't see you til I'd passed by. Going to Rollers?

cg5154, 8pm last night on Bethnal Green Road, being perplexed by a 4x4 doing about a 9-point turn in front of you. I recognised you from the names and faces thread but no point me shouting as I was being a pedestrian and you wouldn't have the foggiest idea who I was.

However you should come to Trixie Chix!

Alive to me, now that you encouraged me to do a skid at holborn circus this morning. I can't skid, especially not with a saddle bag.

I think you're the smiliest person I know, a Ray of sunshine.

Dancing James and I shared a ride in from the Westsiiiiiiiiiiide this A.M.

Me: "Slack chain"
Him (with look of derision and a sarcastic tone): "Do a skid"

Good to see you. Catch up later at Westie beer after your "yoga" session.

ok, a whole load from this morning.... first, i did NOT see BoBoB at his shop at 8.30 this morning - was gonna give him some dough towards the CC shirt, but maybe another time. then, i DID see some dude on the most colorful ever bianchi - flourescent yellow stem, orange and green and maybe some blue as well on just about everyother part of the bike that could be coloured (forks, deep Vs, tyres, you name it). i certainly didn't need any highlighters to remember that bike! and then the other one was a guy (also a bianchi) trackstanding at corner of tavistock and gower streets for a reeeeeeeealy long time waiting for the lights, but then riding off real slow and holding up all the other dayglo commuter cyclists on their mountain bikes, hybrids and bromptons. funny :-)

Awwww, Vic! I've been spotted! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and accepted...

Thinking back, I do recall scrunching my face into an expression of "WTF is he doing?" as I tried to navigate around that 4x4.

Now that I finally have my bike, I'll definitely come along to Trixie Chix next week or the week after.
