Who was it we saw in the orange YACF top at Lee Green just now? (I was in a car with the Beloved Stoker and little Sprocket, so no stopping to chat.)
My money is on Redlight.

Just seen this. Yes, that was me, heading off to my pilates class.
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

Yesterday, as I was pushing my flat-tyred bike back from work, I was spotted by and subsequently spotted alwyn in a going-the-other-way car.

Today (so far) Deano, fboab and ChrisS who have been fed soup and macc+cheese, and who got me to stamp their cards....

And now Ruthie and Mcshroom :)

I nearly forgot to mention seeing Flatus last weekend, riding with electronic gears now he's too decrepit to change gear manually.

Before you know it he will be riding an electric assist bike.

I suspect that he already has a hidden motor in his seat tube;)

You have to accost me in the street, identify me by name and be carrying a rolled-up copy of The Sun

You probably didn't see me in the car aswell, not that you would know me that well by sight.

Sorry we couldn't stop to offer assistance we were on our way to do a site visit to the LEL Pocklington control

may or may not be a member, but spotted my first quattro  velo this afternoon whilst lunching in Linton, Hertfordshire wheelers had descended on the cafe we were using.

QV owner was quite proud that he had one of 5 in the country.  Rest of family predictably unimpressed.

I picked up a brace yesterday: Paul H was expected (thanks again for the loan of the tool, PH), but Campagman was a bonus. They were gathering for the Make Space For Cyclists ride in Derby yesterday morning and, were I not already committed, I'd gladly have joined them.
What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

On Friday I spent a while chatting with EGO-Maniac at the London Marthon Expo on the elliptiGO stand and earlier today I saw Oranj at the end of the London Marathon.
What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

I should have mentioned that my journey home on Friday was enriched by meeting Adrian, and Jenny Millington coming the other way.  Had a lovely chat.

:)

Was sat in front of TimO at the lights in South Ken twice in the past week.
He never remembers who I am, but Tim, if you did spot the YACF badge on the Carradice saddlebag, now you know!

You're the one with a pretty bike and a carradice barley!

I never recognise other cyclists, when commuting, I'm too much "in the zone". :D

A YACF jersey directly in front of me, would probably just about cause me to recognise a member of the forum !

Twice in a week, when I was only in for three days, is quite an achievement !
Actually, it is rocket science.

Just returned home after week touring the west coast of Scotland, away met and very briefly chatted two a pair of fellow recumbentists as I was leaving, (and they were boarding) the Tobermory/Kilchoan ferry.  Anyone from here?

I spotted a Pingu-not-in-lycra and a Mrs Pingu, to whom I transported flapjack in person this time.
