i dont dig aerospokes, not sure why they're (as mugatu from zoolander) "SO HOT RIGHT NOW"

plurabelle:

Yass. I went in to Stereo but didn't stay long as it was weirdly busy. Coming out to find another bar I saw, I think, McDuck in the distance, pushing a bike up the hill, silhouetted against the sunset, bright front rim glinting in the half-light...

He had his day-glo green rear rim on. I thought that'd be noticeable enough.

Yes indeed. Hot and sweaty might be a good look for the Diet Coke hunk but it quite pointedly fails to 'work wonders' for me, hence the pushity push push routine. Was off to the acoustic night in Sleazy's and had the oxyters to think aboot! I'm currently up in Castlemilk working and unless the thread stretches to young men with walking sticks and wizened, wheezing smokers, I am likely to 'spot' no-one.

Couple of the courier guys at George square, one on his bike, the other walking alongside the road. Their general foxy courier-ness slightly dented by the fact that one of them was blatantly with their mum :D

Oh, and not a fixed, but a proper roadie type on a cervelo - it was only a short stretch, along langside avenue, but I overtook him just before turning off and he laughed in a sort of wry way. I laughed back, it was cool. He could have probably killed me over a longer stretch but then I was at my road, so WIN :)

trailstar:i love it when gear-heads get overtaken by a one-gearer. Single speed or fixed gear.

99.9% they laugh, but you occasionally get the one guy who decides he wants a race!

some dick was racing me last night. he got owned tho. if it was not for lights he would been fuckinf left for dust.

reg:12 pm today, fuji track (08), jumped the lights in giffnock, black curly hair and SS uniform (rolled up jeans).......

I just got visions of Nazi fixed riders flooding the streets there at 'SS uniform'....

You may laugh now but... that sign in the background you can't see all of says "BYRES RD 1200KM"

FIXED!

cfesq:

This would have been me.

You fascist bastard!

trailstar:what is the actual SS uniform?

my general attire is shorts, tshirt + helmet. Fuck riding at rush hour without a helmet

its the cap + skinny jeans that do it.

^what a fucking knob that guy looks. everything about him says 'fucking areshole'. what’s funny is this foto looks like they are doing the cycling proficiency test and the wee guy on the MTb and the two in the back are thinking 'what a knobhead'

there is no need for a yello hoody and white wayfayres tho? and you canny cycle with a hood up its just blows down the guy is just posing!. and he appears to pretty much have the peedo bike from the anti porn thread.

trailstar:

Surely if you drove over him in an eco-disaster Range Rover with him riding that dressed as he is, the beak would let you off?

When you say break do you mean 'lack of a lever operated brake'? If so, you'd still get some shit if you 'drove over' him.

its the evil stare of death from the guy in the background :)

Where was that taken?

nmk:Where was that taken?

Springburn.

nmk:

ah right, the guy kinda looks like someone I know. (leo that works in Big Slope). Really hoped it wasn't.

I hope Leo doesn't see this!

(It looks nothing like Leo, surely?!)

velonoir:

Fuck you're right, mind last time I saw him he didn't have a sleeve...

He doesn't,

Johnny Crash:

Haha. Totally does in the face.

I hope Leo doesn't see this!

(It looks nothing like Leo, surely?!)

ithinkitsnice:it wears funny clothes, kill it with fire

Pretty much.

spotted the 2nd place courier from the easter weekender, brian? in dales today with a spanking new blue 'gallus' frame with matching blue tyres, nitto drops and white grips. it was fucking lovely. me and mat where having a right good perv

ithinkitsnice:

Johnny Crash:

Yes, burn it. Burn it's face first.

then its hipster/emo hair that is made of plastic and glue....

euan:

He was one of the few people with common sense that took the quick anti clockwise route that was something like 5 minutes faster.

If I'd been there that's the way I'd have gone. (All left turns means an easier/faster time at junctions and roundabouts.)

why would one direction on a circular route be faster?
