@cg5154- Parked on Hobart Place around 7 pm. Black frame, no decals, rear mud guard, flip-flop hub. Yellow front tire, black rear tire, blue rims on both. Eggbeater pedals, and one of those BMX-looking helmets. I've seen it there a couple times. Does it belong to anybody on here?

That would be mine. I've been lurking on the forum for most of the year, but have generally been too lazy to put up anything in the names and faces. This may spur me to be more sociable. Which bike was yours?

Mine was the one right next to yours... black frame, red tires, red/pink (it's a controversial issue) handlebar tape. My bike was pleased to make your bike's acquaintance.

I think I saw Yorgo on Clerkenwell Road 5.20pm last night last night but since he had a completely different bike I wasn't sure if it was. Was it you?

Chap wearing a orange Molteni top on a chrome/silver Bianchi telling an Ambulance car of an accident further up the road at the top of Constitution Road near Admiralty Arch, 8:15am.

I'd forgotten just how shoddy the road surface is going up there. Surely it must keep 'er indoors awake every night in Buck House. Perhaps that's why they keep the road shut to traffic on Sunday mornings so she can have a lie in.

Loads of police and ambulances blocking the entrances to that shady little road behind the George & Dragon and the church in Shoreditch. Chibbing? Bumming?

Chap on an all-black fixed (no bar tape, black chain too, as far as I could make out), heading south on the Norwood Road a few minutes ago. Anyone we know?

Nah, when it was established that neither me nor Harry was in the paper, it got recycled. Perhaps ask Mike or another Hackney-enger?

Good spottings today in the sunshine. Spitalfields, chap on a nice red Dave Russell. Brick Lane - 2 guys - one on a Nagasawa. London Fields, guy on a nice pink Anchor, brakeless but he was riding on the grass so it wouldn't hurt if he fell off. Various other fixed wheels and SSers. Oh and a nice Eddie Merckx in white with purple and pink stripes that I seem to see all the time. Hello all.
