Good luck with the recovery Vinz man.

You get the sympathy vote (fuck it go for the hero)
Scars look great
And you could reap the rewards of this twats stupidity. if not keep the details and get Bill to write a piece no it (good work BTW Bill)I wouldn't go reading that story about dalston cyclist untill you get another dose of pain killers, few bourbons and maybe a smoke.. that poor sod!

On topic, I nominate James Daley.
http://www.movingtargetzine.com/article/lorry-company-cemex-urges-others-to-look-daley-attacks-cyclists
http://www.movingtargetzine.com/article/james-daley-the-muppetry-continuesI didn't see much wrong with Daleys winge about lazy people not leaving the office and buying lunch and the the people carriers. but the second... yeah! Blind stupidity!
I wonder if the lady who stepped out in front of me on new bond street last year shared those views? shame the van who passed me on the outside thought his right of way was right... i laughed my cock off (after i saw her get up relatively unharmed)

Very sexy dismount. One that I like the idea of but have never seen is somehouw jumping off the back of the bike and catching it by the saddle. I think that was in the Puma Fixed 101 that I read about it.
There is nothing smother than a rear dismount where you land & walk on all without changing pace.
Slow the bike to wakling pace get you weaker leg out the cage and as the peddle hits the bottom, hands off, sit up & straighten your stronger leg allowing the crank turn to push you up and back, as you go lay a hand on the saddle to get help you through and control your bike. its pretty easy
I have seen a few pulled off really well around fitzrovia, saldy i can't nail it with style! -

I have been thinking about the whole getting in his car thing... i think you would have made a much bigger impact by jumping in, changing his radio station to heart FM and resting a hand on his knee smiling contently, staring straight ahead.
I have lost the angry streak (Previas aside) i find the next few miles i am all out of sync and, as has been said a few times on this board, it angers drivers and makes more Standard reading opinionated cycle haters. bad times.
Try this:
Last Thursday I had a vest wearing, Benson chuffing, snarling heffer of a lady; racing back from giro collection to hit into the Argos sales, overtake a bus and head straight at me, her sweaty jowls swinging with pure hatred, using language new to these ears (ok now i am talking pish) calling me a cunt (sic) for being on my side of the road!!??
Remedy.... Chicken .... cutting past close enough to have her see me blow a big sensual kiss.who felt guilty then?
Fucking Zen like!

On a walk back from whittington's, heading up Archway road, a white golf came screaming to halt as I hit the turning to the GUM clinic (it was for a mate...) this little black kid (Wright-Phillips with a bad upbringing and badder tracksuit) comes screaming out the car with a 8" blade.
He runs across the road and starts on this cyclist, who jumps off the bike keeping his distance (with a bit of soft hand air kung fo, bit like the old dancing to progressive house?)Well this knife wielding nipper then proceeds to slash the types, seat and hack the frame, kicking 7 bales out of it. After some Jeremy Kyle style rants; two mates by his side, he decides to pick the bike up and stick it in the car and fk off.
I walked over the cyclist to see if he is alright and it turns out the Golf drove across his line on Holloway road hitting him. the cyclist pulls up alongside at the lights, rests his hand on the window sill and points out how they nearly killed him.
Sean Wright decides he shouldn't touch his car and tries to teach him a lesson; chasing him 2 miles and trying to stab him!?Fking cyclists!!

Does M&S settle it in gift Vouchers? thats a shed load of pre-cut veg and good reliable underwear.
I made a claim through lloyds home contents, they only insure up to £500 payable as a Halfords voucher! So i got a kick ass tent
Butterworths provide good cover, at a cost BC bike insurance have a few issues
1 - They select the specialist supplier &
2 - Bike parts are only claimable if they "are damaged"
oh you can't claim if you use a bike for work, and there is no personal injury cover.More Than pay cash to an amount that matches their chosen supplier and provide no parts cover cover.
the odds are staked against you. as always! -
It was ridiculous, retarded and definitely not my finest hour. Sure, he deserved some kind of shit for what he did, but it is honestly one of the most disgusting things I have ever done. I felt I was in the right at the time, but looking back I was being a dick.
Fuck me Sano, there is something of the night about you, but disgusting is a tough word. He could have caused you serious damage. its not a mistake just a lesson.
Maybe the safe option would have been to jump the lights, head around the corner and seagul him square between the eyes. has the benefits of releasing some tension, its not as dirty as spit and the look on his face.....!

dammit, holes for reflectors they must be.
although Max's BMW has large flats with clips, I noticed last night. looked quite useful
BMX flats? i have been trying to locate a decent pair of metal flats with metal cages for months. not the oversized that could seat a few passengers but enough width to be confortable in converse/vans and not spoil the slim line look of the bike.
I thought Pistas came with cage ready pedals.. they must have swapped them!?

Did well there gizmond. you saved a stunning you £180 from a £200 un-ethical death trap. and a further £200 by seeing the error of you ways and not buying it from that cheaper website.
Now in my good ladies book of accounting that gives you an additional £380 to spend on top of what you had to start with. i'd get one custom made...

There's something wrong with the colour scheme that was put on the "London" langster and that is part of the global marketing campaign from Specialized, but nearly everyone on this site agrees that in the price range the langster provides a great starter bike.
Agreed, it has all the charm and class of a mini customized for estate agents..
I picked up a discounted filmore after one stolen and one slipping conversion project (1950's scrap yard challange!) but with some adjustments it handles really well. just not the quickest -
Photoben if your mate is half decent he wouldn't have put that howler in on the bottom right! looks like a kid stole his dads shoes.. that is great!
Speaking of style. has anyone seen the canvas ankle high boots that have fittings for speedplay pedals?
Saw them on this kid in New Bond St, Making the most out of the wet weather by locking the rear wheel with one leg -
can you get free from atac's quickly in an accident ???
Depends on the severity of the accident. They break out quicker than a well developed joint or limb... but you never know???
Worst case man up and chew through your ankle before using your remaining good leg to lay out the road owning previa driving ilegal taxi cunt

i heard he once fell in love.. deep in love with a bike. there relationship blossomed over many long summer ride, sharp right hander and big open straight. then as time passed she was unshackled and many others rode her, in the end her parts were tired and she locked up as he traversed a tricky passing point near swains lane, pitching his over heavy head into the cold autumn pavement. cnt never got over it.
I'll let it pass and he will be forgiven, fk it revered! if he follows this article with an equally aggresive number on London based Utd & Liverpool fans

Michael Hodges and the great London cycling debate. What a cnut.
Anyone with the inclination give him some stick...Fk it. This guy has suffered enough. A distinct lack of writing skills combined with small man syndrome has left him cutting a crap living writing nonsensical provocative shit[FONT=Arial].
[/FONT][FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I'm manning up and keeping my eye open for him at the road crossings.... give the cunt a first hand opinion of our NHS. might take his eye of the bikes...
