  Probably better to lock in a security heavy area on the other side of Bishopsgate.

  Sunday afternoon, gent on an unmarked blue ss with with red BMX pedals on rosebery Ave, you appeared to follow me to the off license and as I was rocking my best Sunday chavskank look I'm pretty sure it was not me you were interested in. If you were checking out if my bike was stolen fair play to you, after a strange pocket pat action you cycled off.
  Anyway hi.

  As I have to spend my days on 4 wheels carrying my gear, the best I can do is pretend I'm back on 2.

  Own up then! Parsons Green last week, I often see you buzzing about.

  That would be Jonboy, fastest guy in the west...mostly

  I don't have many details but apparently it didn't look good.
  Top of Putney Hill, ambulance and police in attendance.
  My best wishes go out to the rider, hope they're ok.

  '3. When they do that thing that non-expert combatants do, where, in mid-fight, they just end up flopped on top of one another, barely moving, with their shirts around their necks and their butt cracks exposed. That's reality, people.'

  loved this bit...laughed my head off.

• White van driving wanker

  Hope I'm not hijacking this thread. Last Friday my flat mate was knocked down by a van who wrenched right out of traffic on gt Portland st without indicating and then denied it...Luckily three witnesses came forward to confirm that he had not indicated. The old bill did not even bother handing in a report until my friend followed it up the next day. (I referred him to the 'what to do in case of an accident' thread thanks roxy). He ended up with a broken left wrist no front wheel and no income for at least a month, he's a courier.
  I don't think this is indicative of all white vans, I have three working for me who are all aware (and often gob smacked) by cyclists. It's just worth approaching them with caution as most are working to a deadline and could be a total wanker as well.
