London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Everyone keeps on about a spotted thread so here it is, just remeber to pull this one up when you spot someone.

Me first,

Rakan. Corner of Grays inn road and Ampton street last night. Be cearful of this corner boys and girls I was waiting for police to turn up as I had just seen some locals who's mothers should have just given head beat the shit out of some poor cyclist waiting at the traffic lights, regular occuarce on that junction according to a local lady.

James, bike polo guy hops around alot, old street flying along.

muna on shaftesbury av in drizzle yday!

Some hairy-faced courier type heading west on Old St. (wait that's just about everyone on this forum..)

Samsonite and I 'spotted' each other in the pub on tues night. Neither of us were on bikes. Does this count?

Only if you kissed.

I work on Britannia St 2/3 streets away and it doesn't surprise me. I have to cycle past there nearly everyday - mornings are OK but in the evenings you do get loads of grubby little estate kids haging around there - next to the cycle path, be warned!

gay!

spotted a couple of onions on old kent road yesterday.....reveal yourself onion man!

Tis I

Can you tell us some more info, bike, bag, clothes, etc

Dont just say i spotted someone, were not all amazing detectives

He was taking the piddle.

i saw him,i think he had a bag and im sure he was riding a bike..

Oh yeah he had a Langster.

Sure flickwg, from memory the guy I saw was male, about average height (for a cyclist), was clothed, cycling in a westerly direction. You got him yet?

I spotted LOADS of fixed riders on Sunday. Didn't realise there were so many in my area. It was just at the top of Brick Lane - anyone know anything about it? They all had sticks or something - I guess this must be some sort of trackstanding aid...

sounds like a bunch of wankers..

I love how quickly threads turn into piss taking events! :D

"I saw him at Herne Hill, distinguishing marks included a bike that had only one gear and no brakes.."

spotted a guy on a nice red Pennine on tuesday night heading from kennington to elephant - anyone on here? oh, i used to have a Pennine grass track bike

What differentiates a grass track bike? Fat tyres?

it's like a regular track bike...but made out of grass...:)

hehehe....you've been DYING to use that pic aintcha!!!

didn't use it on grass but yeah, big clearance for fat tyres (like your steamroller).

hippy, once again, glad to spike that one up for you dude

Nah, never seen it. Just a quickdraw with google images. :)

I tried to find one made out of weed but couldn't.. next project bike..

Spotted:

Friday night, last week, about 11:30pm going West on Theobalds Rd: Guy from the social ride who was on a blue / white Condor. Wearing a blue hoody.

We shouted to each other but I couldn't remember your name. I was with Tori who was really impressed at the fixed wheel camaraderie. :-)

One love.
(thumps heart twice, makes a west-side gang sign)

Mashton: Spotted riding round the 1 way system from Russell Sq to UCL. Me in a cab to a meeting (having already cycled in to work, showered and changed). You lazy twat late for work.

An uninteresting fact: Mashton lives at the end of the road I work on and works at the end of the road I live on. And the coincidence is: I work on the road Mashton lives [i]on and...oh

spotted riding by my house...oh that's right NOBODY....COS I LIVE IN BLOODY LOCKERBIE!!!....i am the only fixee in the village...:(

Who are the UCL fixies? Two who lock up next to each other, white frame, blue frame. Blue one looks like something Kiwicycles Paul was selling a while ago.

Oh and as for spotted people from the forum - billa, outside The Dove, a couple of weeks ago.

spotted two guys on red bikes (one condor, couldn't make out the other one) outside surrey quays tesco's, I was walking and I'm a bit anti-social so I didn't speak up. You might have seen me dump a half-eaten, fully mashed banana in the bin.

Good thread.
I was gonna say if any couriers come into 23 Charlotte Rd, 3rd floor, Shoreditch
I'm the guy facing the door.

(Damn, what was that forum handshake? 'V')

guy on vintage carlton fixie in clissold park, had a chat about trackstands and riding backwards, just curious to see if you're on here as well...

I'm a UCL fixie, but riding a fixed mtb with a rack and UPVC mudguard seems to make me pass under most people's fixed radar.

some dude on the uxbridge road / the vale riding a dark red(ish) surly with a white deep V last night around 10:30pm heading towards acton. Overtook, saw him gaining but didn't look back- by the time I got to the top of the hill he had disappeared- figured he turned off or something. Was gonna stop but was in a hurry to get home, get the old blaze on after topping out on it at work. I always reason to myself its ok to let other riders go quicker when stoned but then the race mentality kicks in and thats it...
