he was quite good skating aswell.
That was James Thorne, if you think he's good on a skateboard, you should see him on a snowboard...

apparently my chiseled good looks have more of an effect on the lady in question then the air of princely charm that surrounds you sir.

Young chap on a fixed wheel red bike with drops and what looked like embryonic time trial bars. He passed me this morning at 7:10 am on the New North Road going south and I then chased and overtook him. This evening at about 7:20 pm he passed me on the road outside The Foundry, I chased after him and overtook him just before the junction of New North Road and Essex Road. We spoke briefly and I turned off at Alwyn Villa, he carried on up to Canonbury Square towards Highbury Corner.

Thanks for the exercise. I needed something to spur me on today.

Brakeless charge plug? It's sort of 'I'm late to the party but going to make up for it by drinking at twice the speed.' I like.

Rider on the ground west side of Shep Bush roundabout. Police attending. He was moving and stuff so I'm guessing/hoping he should be ok. Didn't see what happened.. traffic is always rammed there so I'm not sure what could've happened.

Loads of people this morning, none of whom I know but two of which stood out:
black bike, front orange arrospok, rear orange deep v - very coordinated and striking.
lovely grey lo-pro with curvy tubes.

Both passed me on Victoria Embankment about 9am - I was pootling along in a very lazy manner indeed.

comedy hipster fail spot on the stockwell road tonight. Blonde flop haired hipster at the side of the road with his foot on the back wheel of his green fix trying to pull his matching green scarf out of the rear hub! I was chuckling all the way to Balham, thanks for the comedy!

A double sighting of two Unipacks mid-Fail, One on Bloomsbury st chain completely off and a huge WTF look on its riders face. second on Monmouth st back wheel so bent was rubing on the brake each rotation + again a look on the face of rider like 'I didn't sign up for this' If they stopped selling them now they'd be no left come Christmas, everyone I've seen looks on its last legs.
