Alcohol is the only defense I have.

So safe had s/he put that lock a few inches below - it would've been very hard to get a boltcutter around such a tiny thick thing too. I want one of those locks! But I think the owner must have been very close by, since it was gone by the time we'd crossed the road and got in the pub. Or someone nicked it. It looked good with the bullhorns though......man, bar decisions, the torment!

Sat evening in borough market at 6ish. Exceedingly tall fella on a red frame, brakeless. And a lady on a light green/ greenish blueish (it was getting dark) colored frame, toe clips, pac bag etc.

Anyone on here?

'defence' ?

Saw an Orange IRO on the weekend too by the Bean on Curtain.
Had bullhorns but they were inverted. Very strange.

I see that a lot there - I think the dude's been down to polo with it a few times. Nice bike.

brief chat and ride with drew? i think was his name, down kensington road from knightsbridge to the royal college of art, on a mustard gold holdsworth, with red tyres, looked really pretty because of the well used feel, made you want it because it wasn't bright and shiny and new.
Anyway, was nice speaking to you, pop back onto the forum, hope the spoke cards go to good use.

tagged along behind a guy on a carlton conversion, silver with bull horns, orange/black tyres, heading up the A10 this morning, didn't say hello, but will next time. i see a few riders heading the opposite way, i head north in the mornin' and south around 6.

That'll be my housemate/neighbour David. He works in The Diner and I don't get the bars either.
But that frame sure is a sexy beast.

Wow i saw a truly beautiful bike today a girl on a green (it seemed anodised) steel fixed with gold keirin bars, near goldsmiths college (new cross) said nice bike, it is indeed very very nice. (Hi)

Might of been talked about already on here but to enlighten me, Has anyone seen/know anything of that sorry looking IRO chained and truly F**ked on the New North rd/Essex road junction...what the hell happend there?

was she blond? if so it sounds like Amy....gold bars,seatpost,stem,rims...green frame....she gold that gold nitto stuff off a very nice man...;)

Yeah he's ok, he's a courier, got a broken ankle by the sounds of things but came out much better than his ride :)

HEAL: shot across euston rd at about 10...come to the party!

Single speed/Fixed going west along Amyand Park Road (towards Twickenham) the last two mornings. As it is Twickenham probably no one on here! I was heading the other way with mad hair on a blue pug ss - Hello! if it is anyone on here.

He was coming to our party.. gone home now.

That would have been Amy.
Your eyes are playing tricks on you but, powder-coat, not anodized.

Mad late to our party.

damn! you should have shouted out, I had to go buy these bums a drink who were getting put down by some euro prossies who needed a credit check before any william tell!

he he ;]

monday - followed/was followed by a stickered up fuji track with risers on that street which downing street is on (yeah? so what i've lived in london 2 years and don't know what it's called), rode with him all the way up to charing x road. Feel bad for not saying hello. I had a helmet on but no brakes (ironic somehow), on a blue geoffrey butler with fucked cranks.

sunday evening - nodded to a fellow near elephant and castle roundabout who was riding a black bike with risers. I was with a guy on my nice fixed wearing my helmet, I was n the geoffrey butler and we were with a bloke on a gold single-speed. Hello!

sensible more like

yes indeed probably her then

saw and even rode briefly with rakan heading east on old street last night. and saw tommy the other day near Senate House, becoming quite a frequent occurence.

i spotted some guy on a SS kona paddy wagon going thru greenwich foot tunnel last night too, doing the standing on one pedal thing and rolling along. just ride next time dude, noone gives a monkey that time of night.

spotted mouse last night in the cold and drizzle.

i saw the brakeless Architect (or his twin brother - whichever is the one with white Arrospok and pink deep V) between Angel to Knightsbridge this morning.

Didn't spot any unigeared machines on my ride in today, which was unusual, just lots of very earnest and super competitive, lycra-clad types... Lovely morning for a gentle ride to work... :)

It was bloody cold though!

News to me! Em are you in Clapham then? Whereabouts? I saw your bike outside Sainsbury's the other week but you were not attached.

I'm up nearer the Common.

Saw a Rad Dad this morning, brakeless, gripless, flats, Reebok pumps (kid you not) getting sketchy where the Strand finishes and Fleet Street starts.

gnarcore.

Reeboks are getting as bit hipster/skater/indy these days. I kid you not.

Really?? Damn I'm behind, last time i saw those was on White Men Can't Jump!

saw an old dude yesterday and again today on a brown surly doin laps at richmond park. he must have been 50-60+ or even older. dunno if he was riding fix or ss. bloody strong rider...he was a tad slower than me but i was on gears! i was out of breath keeping up with him in one of the climbs

Hey,
