My brain did stupid and forgot that red light means stop. On a ped crossing. I really really really was convinced red is a big bright yes. Luckily all peds were almost crossed already but I still feel so damn bad about it.

In less than 5 minutes I came across

• blinky red light in the front of a bike
  
• three vans which were stopped in red lights suddenly just decided to start driving and it wasn't nearly their turn
  
• four un-indicated lane changes/turns
  

A lady with a red blinky light on the front of her bike came suddenly towards me behind a dark bend, on the wrong side of the bike lane. Jesus fuck I hate her. I've seen her there a few times and every time she does something incredibly stupid, mostly being unpredictable and on the wrong side.

So it seems like I spot @Cazakstan quite regularly in the mornings.

oh wow. I mean, sure, I've used to condescending attitudes and patronising and whatever while shopping but that's just outrageous.

Should be ok, but I won't make it to Post office in the next few days

are you in a hurry with it?

Carradice Barley

Practically unused, fitted it twice to my bike only to find out there is just not enough space for it. I rode like 200 meters with it and the tire hit the bottom of the bag lightly so there can be very minimal wear for that, the spot just looks a tag lighter in colour in that area. Looking for £35 (I paid £40) reserved to rider1988tr

Shimano st-5700 bracket covers, black. One of them fitted once to find out it doesn't work with what I had in use. GONE

Imgur refuses to upload this image, I try again tomorrow.

Shimano Tiagra 4600 double 10 speed front derailleur with 31.8 mm clamp. Also never really used, fitted but the clamp was wrong size. Comes with two plastic shimmy things. £10. Reserved for Heitzman

White ankle sport socks size 34-37, unopened package from some event, free

Sorry for the crappy pics, I may try to get some more at some point. Pick up Holborn during office hours or Walthamstow in the evenings, I can also consider bringing these somewhere if it's not raining too much.

I might need to start measuring things.

yes to mulled things

Got a giant sheet of plastic tangled between cog and chain on my way home, fuckity boo. Otherwise all nice and pleasant and had the perfect amount of clothes on me.

9 okay for me as well, also heading to wagfest

If you behaved nicely.

Hi

I'm in need of a quill stem, clamp 25.4 (or 26 in a pinch) and reach about 60-70mm. I'm willing to pay up to £15 and can pick up in most of London.

It should not be very high - I'd say the end that goes to the steerer tube should be just a bit longer than the end that the bar is attached to (measured from the point where the wedge begins, if a wedge type). No need to be mint, at all.

Something similar to these please

Yes everyone.

I saw this one today, nice and shiny!

No opinion on ebikes here but everyone who was driving a car in Hackney today around 5 should just suffer a horrible death.

I'm glad your colleague & superior were so smart about this. The guy is a real creep.

Do you think it would be possible for your supervisor to complain about his actions to the creep's superior (if there is one)? I bet with a cheek like that it wouldn't be the first time he'd done something like that. And even if not, if I had people working for me I'd definitely want to hear if they behaved like that when they represent my company (or anywhere else, really).

Left home around 6.30 am and it seems to be mid term -> traffic was low and the sun was just getting up. I could get used to this, but then I guess I shouldn't.

Thanks I will if only get off work early enough!

This sounds very cool! I've only had a fixed bike for a week now and I suck at riding it a bit and also I don't know anyone but but but I wanna join!

I found the bike originally from a market in Brussels. It was in a bit shit state and had the ugliest stem I'd seen in a while.

With some TLC (OK, some of it less tender as I had to saw off the stuck seat post) it became a rather usable vintage road bike. I rode it to Dunwich last summer but can't find any proper pictures of it in this stage.

Now I decided I need to get my first fixie. So. I rebuilt the rear wheel and I'm actually quite happy with the result.

(Yes, that is a cat's arse)

andddddd here we are!

I might need to saw the stem a bit shorter at some point, there is no space to get it on the ideal height now. Also, needs some lightning bolt shaped reflectors on the spokes but I can't find them anywhere :(

Most of it is second hand stuff.

This looks really amazing and I really look forward to the works being finished. Already seen some nice small improvements in E17 due to Mini Holland.

a Concorde Colombo. I love this bike very much.
