Come on!.....We wanna know....

What a shame. I'm not sure where the blame lies. Delays in lights? The lady rushing across?
It doesn't sound like it was the drivers fault.
Like Dogs says, there's quite a bit of room.
How did the driver not see her?Whatever the situation. It's a good reminder of dangerous roads, jumping lights, etc.
Horrible news.

I've been riding on the roads for years on various types of bicycle and I never take riding for granted. I'm constantly aware of what's going on around me. I always take into consideration other cyclists. Whilst this whole 'fixed wheel' trend has encouraged people to cycle (good), there's a ton of people that appear to have never rode a bike in their life, nevermind on a busy London road.
This worries me. They have to be reponsible for their own actions yet heavily effect those cycling alongside.
It's not gonna get easier out there. You'll always come across inexperienced or thoughtless riders.
If I ranted on here for everytime I was pissed off on the road I'd be banned.
Gotta take it in your stride I guess. Just try ride safe for yourself and for others. -
or
Really nice. Prefer without the Hed3. You rebuilding the rear onto a track hub?
Looking 4ward to seeing the final build. -
Or a clamp on.
Those forks look like they shouldn't be drilled. -
Yeah saw that! I can't stand the brand either. Anything for attention.
Too many crap US labels rotting the UK streetwear scene.
...And JP brands for that matter.
Best not get started, it's supposed to be my day off! ;-) -
£125 BIN!!!!! Someone get this now! Going..Going...
Great deal! -
I love Adidas Hawaii's.
I always had Adi Kicks and Barcelona's as they lasted me the longest.
I'd get em nice and scuffed.
Once my mum bought me some cheap Gola's from Asda and even appologized as she gave them to me!
"I know luv, but they'll do you for the meanwhile"
I totally refused to wear them.Eventually I got a pair of Adi's from Sports Supply, Grimsby.
Was chuffed.My Grandad wore Nicks with his Eclipse waistcoat and loved 'em!
-
toddy, you know I aint some posh cunt! Not with an accent like mine!
Actually Dave, Posh would be the last word I'd use to describe you! ha ha.
You look after that bike dude. You'll never ever be able to replace it...
Well not until you start making a decent living from the music.I had a kid ride next to me last night asking if it was me who was selling my bike!!?!
I was thinking, what tactic is this?I said it was worth fuck all and he could have it if he wanted!
He wasn't too keen as his shopper was better suited.He said he'd think about it and rode off!
They're mental those kids.
-
also, middle class people did not grow up in skanky tamworth
Or Grimsby! ;-)
I spent the fruit of my youth getting my bikes nicked by gangs of kids.
They're all nicking cars now.Things don't change so much.
A flash bike is a flash bike whether it's a racing bike, bmx, or mtb.
With so many bright coloured bikes around it's only natural they become desirable.Thing is, all these kids are amazing at wheelies!
You can't judge the owner by the bike though....can you?
-
It's one of them things. Currently, my bike seems to be owned by about 20 different people, all mainly between Essex Road and Shoreditch park.
If one more person tells me it's their bike, I'm gonna pull over and get them to give it a clean and start paying insurance on it.
That'll scare 'em!But seriously, I'm not looking forward to the day I'm (If I'm) stopped.
Fortunately the Witcomb glides smoothly past the Rude Dogs without a peep,
so that's the main ride to work now.
The 'gay pursuit' bike is for team rides only!..Road Rash stylee. -
Mr Double Tap walking into Earlham St, Covent G. Good to see ya mate, and a bunch of couriers doing their thing over Clerkenwell. One riding a nice San Marco.
Last night on Old St, Sag bag, aqua blue chain, front arro, nice looking bike.
-
This shop is great! A refreshing change.
It's now my new LBS and I'm chuffed to bits.
They just fixed up my rear wheel in a flash.
I really hope they stick around.
Some amazing bikes in there too... -
The road's still closed.
There's blood in the middle of the road and a yellow van within the closed area.
I'm working directly above the scene.
No answers as yet... -
Really nice! Enjoy it.
-
Like Brian said! ^
I sold mine and got one which worked. -
i know innit. they are fucking nice though, i care not.
I have the clear frames with the purple lenses! ;-)
They're super light too... -
I have 2 pairs of Debasers and they're great. One of my favourite shoes and understated.
It's nice to wear something a little different coming from a company which has a lot of integrity.
Good to ride in too... -
hanging out in the Carhartt London office per chance?? :)
Kind of...I work there.
-
What you gonna ride? Ye olde Swinnerton?
Reckon we could find a decent road frame to convert at a cheap price. (for now)You gonna keep the arro?
-
Loved Carter back in the day!
I used to have the their 'only living boy in new cross' tee.
I still find it hard to get through a full album though! -
Awesome. Classic vibes.
In fact, I just got rid of the tat from my Witcomb and have switched it back to its classic roots.
Was undecided whether to put the one campy drop lever back on but after seeing this I might just do it.
Niceness! -
I've gone back in time! All these revived posts freaked me out. ha ha! Back to basics!

I have some nice waterproof Alpha Numerics which are most similar to Vans chukkas.
When it's raining hard it's best to wear proper waterproof cycling shoes.
Outdoor brands are your best bet if you can handle their styles! Patagonia make a decent waterproof boot. Patagonia are the dons of Outdoor brands!
