Thanks - this is a useful resource

Sadly I've taken to actually remembering the most common fallacies that drivers commit so I can quote the most relevant highway code number. Repeating it to their face gets the point across (sometimes).

i.e. 163 for the amount of space to pass a cyclist.

All in all I think this is a bit of a win.

Damn right that's a win! Nice one.

Repped.

Sweat break, bra.

DJs breakin' breaks?

thats my route...i see a few fixies in the morning, this morning i saw a guy on a green BLB bike...another guy with a beard who i thought was riding SS as he had two breaks, but then realised he was actually riding fixed...and was doing track stops at all the lights...guess the breaks are there for extra help in emergencies.

I'd usually let this fly, but you actually quoted someone who spelled "brake" correctly. Brakes slow you down, breaks are something surfers surf.

BUT

Be cautious before concluding injuries are only transient or minor.

You don't know yet how your knee will feel for years to come, and how that might affect you. So +1 for full documentation in case it does need to escalate. If you are fairly sure that you have no serious personal or bike injury then full credit for dealing with it informally. Yes bad drivers need "educating" but we all pay insurance premiums - and the companies tend to wade in and make everything more hassle for everyone.

+1 for this. After my ped crash my shoulder has never completely healed and I never asked her to cough up for medical at the time.

She never paid anything eventually, but that's another story...

Endo to open the door?

What if you have a Chubb and a Yale lock?

You'd always be getting the wrong endo.

"Sorry I mate I didn't see you"

and

"Your car should be hi-vis"

usually solicit the best responses.

I'll also vouch for the tool set as a great starting point for beginners.

Above average quality for the price. Only the chainwhip was sub par.

Sodding black logo again! RIP rider and stay safe everyone else...

Winter related bike stuff this Thursday!

I heard 6pt liked a bot dog.

That could have been me. Rain jacket rather than softshell though. I'm not on here as often as I could/should/would but drop in from time to time for a peek.

Chatted briefly with Rudy Melo on the way in. He's easy to spot!

Shamefully I don't own a single piece of Rapha so it was a complete guess!

Were you riding a very nice and clean looking brown Condor?

It's certainly picking up traction - saw two people rolling back on them last night.

They tend to be the ones with big wheels though. Possibly people use them like folding bikes from mainline station > work?

Friends of Herne Hill cap and Rapha softshell on London Bridge - you looked like you should be on here!

message from a fb friend:

Found a very nice but abandoned bicycle in hackney wick on saturday. Contact me about it if you want. Otherwise she will be handed in to the nearest police station with a detailed description of when and where i found it.

ftfy.

Hot dog: a food so bland that onions and strong mustard are essential to let you know that you're actually eating something.

Oh Bruce! I thought you'd be all about the dogs.

To the doghouse with you...

yeah!

Fuck yeah!

Sorry for my lack of involvement recently, family meal last week and cheering up my mate this week after a breakup.

Will be well up for hot dogs next week.

Early commutes FTW. That Bank closure will make November properly miserable, even at my unsociable hour of riding.

I wish my office opened earlier - looks like it's Blackfriars for me in November. Joy of joys!

So, following this I got the standard rubbish email from Roadsafe in return and didn't hear a thing from TFL. After tweeting them several times I phoned them today - they couldn't find a record of my complaint (though did find the one they've still never replied to from April last year) and I left all the details again. Apparently they'll get back to me by the end of the week... I'm not exactly holding my breath.

I reported a bus to TFL and got the same treatment. Not much point going through all the hassle really!

YourAmericanLover heading home as I was walkenging.

I would have really liked to have seen you skid up some stairs...

It was spinning so fast, couldnt tell how many spoks ;p

You charmer :D Hope you had a good ride!

Sharkpits? Front spinergy?

Sharkpits and HED, sounds about right!

DAS'd coming off York road this morning... Morning!

Just saw this on the news. Fuckin' black logo.

RIP fellow cyclist.

i was trying to get away from you.

j/k shame i missed you.

Your face:
