A young lady on a grey/black unmarked singlespeed, parking up along W Graham Street, with a particularly handsome looking Chrome Backpack, like so:
.
It was a very pleasing sight in all three regards (bike, lady, bag).

Yeah, I've seen the Rizla bike many times - does anyone know the owner? I saw him stopped outside the GOMA the other week for a coffee and read of the paper and though I stood about to admire the bike a little I didn't go up and say anything as I thought it would be incongruous since I wasn't on my own bike at the time.

Seen the Rizla bike a couple times and yeah, its usually parked up with the rider having a coffee and reading the paper. Nice lifestyle

I see Mr Rizla a lot down by The Radisson... Think he is a messenger... Always out and about on his bike... Spotted a Charge Racer chained up outside my work on Robertson Street... Had the nice and shiny, just out the box look... Looking good...

There's a green bike which parks itself up at the railings of the Royal College building at Strathclyde University on George St. I've put a spoke card in the guy's wheel but nothing so far.

Also there's a guy with a yellow single-speed/fixed gear that parks up near the chemistry building at Strathclyde University.

That white bike outside of Hillhead underground has had it:

only a matter of time before it's smashed to fuck

There is also another Peugeot sitting outside Greaves Sports off Buchanen Street currently suffering the same fate.

chhawkins:Hey, just got my account. Thats my green bike :) Saw the flyer in my spokes acouple of times so I thought I'd check it out.

Yeah I put a spokecard in there twice. I couldn't resist the second time I saw it. I ride the black Fuji Track which I put there occasionally.

Someone could should take the wheels off the frame (of the Hillhead underground bike) and hand them in to the cops for safekeeping (as technically it's still theft theft irrespective of anyGood Samaritan motive), leaving a little sticker on the frame saying as much. It does sound like a lot of bother but,as has been pointed out, it will get done right in otherwise.

As Cardinal Newman once said:

all the evil needs to triump is for good men to do nothing.

(Sorry but I've had Radio 4 waking me up all week. It's taking its toll).

Spotted chhawkins' bike outside strathclyde uni today. Enjoy the rain?

I managed to miss the rain. It started mega about 30 minutes after I got in. I was going to go to Tinderbox and write up some notes as well. It's a good job I'm not that dedicated to my studies.

I saw the above-mentioned Giant in the same spot by the canal in Maryhill yesterday afternoon. Still looking very handsome. Noted the black deep-v rims and gold chain this time. Once again no camera though. I need to get a camera on my mobile.

I saw a guy on Derby Street today at 1645 (near the BIg Slope aka Air Organic) walking towards Kelvingrove Park with a yellow frame and chrome drop bars. Fixed.

Yesterday:

1. A dark blue unmarked old racer conversion, with dark brown leather bar tape and matching brooks saddle, locked up at the racks on Buchanan Street outside of Urban Outfitters just down from the church. It looked very nice.

2. A guy on a black unidentified fixed-gear, who first passed me going down Brunswick Street as I walked back from lunch and then came back the way and was practising track stands and backwards circles on George Square in front of the war memorial.

Lemond Fillmore locked up at the bottom of Sauchiehall Street mid-afternoon today. Always classy looking in the grey & black livery.

I got overtaken heading out to Uddingston tonight about 7pm, by a guy on an unidentified large black fg/ss, wearing a well-worn Timbuk2 courier bag. I managed to catch him very briefly at the traffic lights about 1/2 mile further on and just had time to ask whether he was riding fixed or singlespeed (fixed was the answer), before the lights changed. No time even for my follow-up questions of what gearing he was running and what the bike was, so hopefully I'll spot him again.

I definitely need more spoke cards to hand out, with all these potential new recruits riding about.

Teuchter:I seem to have gone through a spate of fixie / ss spottings the last few days so on the offchance...

This morning crossing the squinty bridge through a green man heading north - a guy on a fixie with a load of spoke cards in the back wheel, a yellow jacket and courier bag. (not having a go about the green man - I rode through it from the SECC direction about 2 seconds later).

i see that guy everymorning. surely a courier. is his frame a really dark red/maroon colour?

have seen a few spots this week also- monday morning guy on a blue/pink/white dawes passing kelvingrove art gallery. the same bike is locked up at skypark a lot also.

also on monday morning a quite tall guy with a flat cap on a black giant heading turning right at the islay inn on argylle street heading towards kelvingrove

last night on my way home from uni - a guy on a minty coloured fixie brakless riding along the pavement on seaward street heading to the underground/motorway at shields road. bike looked really nice.

on buchanan street before i got on the underground last night a guy in full kilt outfit gion up buchanan street toward the donald dewar statue. orangey looking frame/white forks. was too dark and too far away to see anything else

and finally monday night at the squinty bridge a lovely but tiny white teched out bike leaning against the bridge railings as its japanese looking rider took fotos of the bridge with a pretty pro lookign camera about half five.

Spotted on Flickr. Who he?

Today, about 2:30-3:00pm: a guy on another Lemond Fillmore, coming down Maryhill Road in the Firhill Stadium direction from the end of Queen Margaret Drive, with race-blades or similar fitted and a suede-y brown shoulder bag. I was going to catch him and do my usual opening gambit question of "Fixed or singlespeed?", but it became unnecessary when he did an impressive series of rolling skids to slow down for traffic in front of us, before heading straight on while I peeled off right towards St Georges Cross.

The guy in the picture is my pal. He's only recently converted (using a White industries eccentric hub) and claimed not to be loving it. He's essentially a road man and happiest bombing along on his LeMond Zurich inside his lycra.The French berets and light-tache work is a new addition methinks. He will soon love it though. Nothing surer..

Fixie forever!

I think me and mechanical_vandal have been spotted a few times in this thread.

I usually commute across the north of the city and just see road and mountain bikes. I got the bus into work on Friday which involves going through the city centre. I couldn't believe how many people are riding fixed now. The ones I can remember seeing were guy on red frame white mudguards and shorts going up Maryhill road, roadie type lycra etc. also a red frame going down St Georges road. Guy with black shinny frame and one of those Altura orange/yellow hi-viz vests going down Maryhill road. At night saw a couple of guys traveling up pedestrian part of Sauchiehall street could have been couriers but they looked a bit too smart/prepy.

Today I was in town on foot and saw the Rizla bike, a white genesis flyer fixed on Sauchiehall (pedestrian part again) and I saw another white flyer riding freewheel on George Square, I think mechanical_vandal has been spotted again.

I spotted a chap on ayellow frame wearing a white cap who rode up to Kelvingrove park from Sauchiehall Street on Monday then turned right; and then Tuesday night saw two guys headed up the Shields Roadd around 2145 with incredibly bright rear lights. One guy might have had longish hair.

Jeez, I sound like a granny reporting a mugging.

cheers rusty.... i have a few land mines im looking to distribute...
