Have seen these other two bikes locked up though, who's are they? Infact, being new at uni, who are any UCL fixies?

related to "spotted" :
saw this girl, posibly a courier, passing quite fast through Covent Garden, fixie with white wheel(s?) - it was dark and quick ,but saw blonde hair and big round helmet with green and yellow-ish pattern - has anyone seen her around before ? - Need to know what helmet it was, something similar would be perfect for winter travels.

Spotted: some dude on a Langster furiously pedalling to overtake me after I'd passed him and some others after a lucky break on the lights down Holland Park Ave. He had the honesty to turn round after he'd passed and said he couldn't resist. Made me laugh - sometimes we all have to do that.

i'm another one in that area - but i lock up inside the LSHTM (you can see the bikes down the side of the building from gower st). i got a lemond fillmore, fixed, with straight handlebars and wear an old (like, 15 years) timbuk2 bag. i saw at least one fixie ride past last night (a blue one?) about quarter to six last night as i was waiting for some friends to cross the road just by waterstones and gower street.

I never understand how riding drunk always seem to work out OK.

Been lurking on here long enough, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm at Birkbeck and lock up round there a few times a week. knackered looking red Roberts with a lot of black electrical tape on it. Work in progress that's awaiting some hard cash spent on it...

I was taken aback by the suit jacket crossed with sidi's, smartest guy on a fixed ive ever seen!! looked to be flowing pretty smooth. I have a huge fear of riding drunk, elephant and castle roundabout pissed on a bike is horrendous!

Why don't you have to lock up?

Spotted a camo/ army brown fixie locked up in the bike shed bit by the Darwin Building in UCL, also see a bright orange with risers there sometimes. Anyones? Not the most descriptive identifications, but so far have always been late and in a rush... which reminds me, I'm late now!

Some would say it is because my bike is shit, but I would say it is because unlike hippy I am lucky (for the time being) and can park in my office.
