a guy on a fixed getting stopped by the police at the crossing of caledonian and pentonville road. A car came aroundt he corner as well and it was green light so don't know what he was stopped for. His two friends weren't stopped. One was riding a black bike with red deep vs and another was riding a brown langster with gold(?) rims. The third bike I don't remember.
Strange thing was that his two friends left with his bike walking away and spouting angry polish. Didn't see what happened next since I had to go in due to costumer but he might have been taken away in the car?

Way to ruin a nice saturday morning ride.

Edit: this happened around just about now. Yes, I'm this bored at work.

Her name's anna, she's on my course. She's such a cool person, really smart! Also the singer in my 'band'. She's swedish, but she did live in Italy for a few years.

The bike used to be edscoble's. :)

Some guy at St. Pancras, at Starbucks with a bianchi pista, with celeste green bar tape.
I was sat over the way with a set of deep v's over my shoulder/riser bars under my arm.

Clefty in Balham on Friday night. I was outside Waitrose (I've gone up in the world, normally I'm outside Lidl when I spot Clefty).

probably wondering why some big bearded berk on a road bike was staring at you, had just got back from RP and was checking if it was someone I knew before I shouted 'do a skid'

ahhh! my bike, even thought I had a better one I still miss the damn Peugeot, it's lighter and more forgiven than the Bianchi (it's a conversion after all).

incidentally, her bike is now purple with a green fork due to a collison with a taxi like a couple months ago, such a shame, cause it look great with the almost perfectly looked after frame and sticker, especially since a metallic purple pug is almost a rare sign.

Yes. Me, soaking wet after a 4 hour cycle in the rain. If I looked pained, its because my legs never got warm in the monsoon we had yesterday.

Good on you guys for taking on the weather. I thought it was only me that was that mad. :)

Wandering though Soho this lunchtime spotted wiganwill cruising through the lanes - too far to shout out though

On the way back I spotted Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood having a wander - yeah...he's not on the forum but he was wearing some skinny, skinny jeans.

Dancing James at 8:50am heading east on Chiswick High Road, just before Hammersmith.

I didn't shout as he'd virtually passed when I clocked him, I think we where checking out the same 'bird' walking down the pavement.

This came just after some prick in a blue Ferrari pulled alongside me in an ASL in the Hammersmith one-way system to ask why was I getting in the way of the traffic by standing in front of him. Explained the rules of the ASL but he wasn't having it, so I called him a arrogant posh wanker.
