Spotted just now in deepest Essex - a bunch of blokes on some fine-looking machines: on their way to Southend maybe (they couldn't be from these parts, surely...?)

Good to see you too GA2G, bit of an effort getting those wheels home, but would have been impossible with out that inner tube! Next time I'm in London a bit longer I'll be sure to come along for drinks. Cheers

Forgot to mention the large orange bike with an equally large owner today at Borough market, gave you a bit of a curios head nod thing. My way of saying hi, was allowed to go over because my girlfriend accused me of flirting!

A dude riding a gleaming lo pro round Victoria Park earlier today - I'm about 300% convinced that it was new, based on the ridiculous grin he had on his face. We exchanged waves.

Dude was stoked though

It seems today that skinny jeans and fixies are mandatory in that area and where were once curry houses, now stand trendy bars and clothes shops. I felt quite out of place in my suit. Then again, when you buy a suit bespoke, they teach you how to walk as though you own the whole world and so I did.
What's the world coming to when hipsters with foreign accents are driving out good British Nazis?

Some fella with orange and blue rucksack riding a rather nice black ss/fixed, with naked no grips shiny drops, you were headed towards westbourne grove on saturday morning at about half 11ish,
Then some ginger fella in condor with a beautiful bare metal bike with drops, you were having something tightened up by the door i think, couldn't tell what make, but it was chuffin' gaaaaargous, maybe about 4ish.

Someone spotted me outside the John Snow on Friday, just before 5. I know, because you yelled out my name. I would have stopped, but was late with a package (am currently the slowest courier in London, and not remotely proud of it).

That was London's famous Hrisc Srhac, a few forumengers were standing around enjoying post-lunchtime ride refreshments...

Out last night, saw a girl locking her bike up to a tree outside McDonalds Leicester Square, a guy on a nice Bianchi Pista I think, white rim/tyres on Tottenham Court Road, and then this morning I saw a blue bike with white v's outside St Thomas' hospital at about 8am!

spotted: a couple of fixed riders in richmond park saturday lunchtime one black bike (a pearson?) and young lady with a backpac, white bike and lone spoke-card.
was on a bit of a mission so wasn't really checking out bikes/riders.
there was definitely a pale green surly at the cafe, maybe something to do with the rapha trundle (1slow lap then coffee, then repeat) that was going on, the citroen van was there and lots of geared bling.

someone got stabbed at about 1 in the afternoon the other day and they closed off half of camberwell church street, was that it?

I'm actually really enjoying it so far. Does this mean I'm a freak, or just a masochist?

Spotted a peleton of seven fine young men sweeping over Herne Hill at 5.45pm today. Anyone we know?
