Normally a girl at the junction just before one gets to On Your Bike London Bridge, waiting on the ped section holding a Felt that is built up (or seems to be when I go past) as a fixed, deep V's etc.

teenslain were you riding direction Hipsterville on Clerkenfail Rd. last night with a tube of some kind strapped to your bag?

If so, you were being chased by a blonde bird on a green machine with white forks. I'm sure I've seen the bike posted on here.

Must've been one of my army of doppelgangers, I deploy them in times of crisis... Or sometimes just for kicks, to mess with your tiny minds... ;D
Not me tho'...

Two fixed ladies (tho' I prefer the hideously sexist term 'fixens') crossing Blackfriars Bridge at a fair clip, first one on a black frame, dark clothes-es and the second on a white frame wearing a white wife-beater... They sure was mo-vin'!!!

Lonely Hearts club comment: We're you that mystery woman?

Peace
did she look chinese and moody and have long black hair? silver deep v on the back and black rim on the front? if so that was probably me. i ride that way to/from work everyday, always cutting through the pavement rather than going around the one way. hi.

Sadly not, but if you see him I'm after the Mask helicopter. Tell him I wrote to him as well and all he could do was eat half my mice pie!

Shallow Maive about 5 mins ago, we're workmates this week... :)
Mr Shallow Maive (AKA Crish Carsh), Lebowski, Rapsac, Winston, Ant and RPM down at the ToB... Had to leave early due to the threat of impending rain and poorly gf at home in bed... Hope the racing was good, I only saw some highlights on TV which kinda defeated the purpose of me going up in the first place! :S
Good to meet you Ant and as for the rest of ya, meh! ;p
