Jurek.

Was that you I spied as I waited to cross westferry rd? 8.30 ish?

I waved and yelled but you didn't seem to notice. The other cyclists at the lights looked at me like I was mad though.

Perhaps it wasn't you...

White top / blue bike?
That would've been me.

Yep, it was you.

You can tell I haven't been off roading recently, I'm obviously out of practice at the yelling loudly enough...

PaulR steaming along New Kent Road on his Pearson.

Sorry not to have spotted you Clarion.

You were, not unreasonably, focussing on the traffic, not the pedestrians gazing wistfully at the bike commuters.

Just over a week ago - a Wunja hiding in a velomobile!

Valiant · « **Reply #2806 on:** 21 January, 2014, 12:59:41 pm »

That looks sexeh what is it?

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #2807 on:** 21 January, 2014, 01:03:48 pm »

It's Wunja, he's a very nice chap.

He happens to be sitting in a Versatile, more details here: http://www.auntiehelen.co.uk/auntie-helen-buys-a-velomobile/ and here: http://www.auntiehelen.co.uk/the-versatile-velomobile-and-v006-in-particular/

I've just realised the best thing about the Versatile.....

It hides all the beer muscles in photos.

Previously unpublished photo of Auntie Helen wearing a red hat in a ~~pink~~ purple Versatile.

If the red hat is all she was wearing, it's a perfect modesty bike for the WNBR!

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #2810 on:** 21 January, 2014, 03:15:57 pm »

It's the bicycling equivalent of the burqua. You don't have to wear matching, cool, trendy MAMIL threads, you can wear any old grotty clothing and no-one can see. You just need to buy a Rapha hat or something, job done!

Kim · « **Reply #2811 on:** 21 January, 2014, 03:19:20 pm »

I thought it was de rigueur to ride velomobiles in just your pants?

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #2812 on:** 21 January, 2014, 03:24:38 pm »

RichForrest did this at Mildenhall a few years ago. Me, I shall remain fully clothed, as always.

That pic has an Aston Martin look about it.
The others, not so much.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #2814 on:** 21 January, 2014, 11:22:08 pm »

...which makes Wunja Bond. But who is Auntie Helen? Is she Moneypenny? Does she have a white cat? Will she dance to a Shirley Bassey song? We need to know...

Valiant · « **Reply #2815 on:** 22 January, 2014, 02:17:52 am »

It's pretty, I wanna go.

As per usual, I wondered who the fuck was shouting at me, then realised it was you

Jurek · « **Reply #2818 on:** 22 January, 2014, 07:40:36 pm »

Adamski.
Or, more to the point, he spotted me, and called out.
On my commute home.
He was running.
I don't think they caught him.

Ham on the Commercial Road earlier this evening!

A very pleasant chat interlude in an otherwise desultory journey.

Pippa · « **Reply #2821 on:** 24 January, 2014, 08:55:58 am »

Jurek just near Mile End. But he didn't see as I was sat on a bus

Wowbagger · « **Reply #2822 on:** 25 January, 2014, 04:50:02 pm »

Akin, outside Waitrose. We had a very pleasant chat and it turns out that I have met him before in that he was in my daughter's class at school and therefore he endured some chess with me. He also spotted me in 2012 somewhere in the region of Builth Wells when he was doing the Bryan Chapman and I was on an early-season solo camping tour.

Small world.

Loving all the spotting around Commercial Road

Makes the world feel smaller.

Tiermat, in the car park of his place of employment. Money and a frame changed hands.

He's a lot taller in real life than the, now vanished, picture in my head.
