Nope, no idea, what is it?

Which ear did you say that the banana was in?  :D

I cycled past Dave last week, going  down his favourite bit of road from Caddington to Luton, but he must have been in his grumpy mode, as he ignored me when I called out.  ;D

I saw delthebike yesterday while on the tandem.

Sorry I was so grumpy - it was the heat of Sunday afternoon, and we'd set out from Maldon to cycle home at 23:30 Saturday.

Don't ask.

It's a small world! I saw Mr. and Mrs. Nutty on a tandem, after some roadside fettlin' of said tandem, and I was also returning from Maldon. My trip was done on the same day though. Did you get back OK without any more fettlin'?

You didn't seem grumpy to me, even after I recognised you.

Yes, but what about after he recognised you?   ;D ;)

I was in London today, noodling around between Victoria and the City (inc. Oxford St, Park Lane and HPC) and I didn't see no-one.   :( Well I suppose I might have done but since I've met none of you I'd have to rely on some of the dodgy pics in this place.
Anyway if anyone saw a very tall geezer with lots of hair on an upright Koga shopper - that was me.

BTW no trouble with traffic - just sailed along in my own serene little bubble. And only one cyclist got a little shirty when I stopped in front of him at a red light.  ;D
There's no vibrations, but wait.

Your path would have crossed with mine were you here in rush hour this morning, I go near most of those places. And I work off Oxford St.

Mind you, I believe my commute crosses over with Regulator's in bits, and I haven't spotted him yet. Perhaps it is because he is rapidly shrinking...

And a cyclist getting shirty with you for stopping at a red light? No one has done that to me in the few years I've been cycling round London. Good thing too, as I'd get extremely shirty back...

Really? Oops. Sorry about that, especially as if I was heading towards Luton I would have been heading away from work, which always puts me in a good mood.

When was it? I have seen a couple of cyclists travelling in the opposite direction in the evenings recently - there's even someone on fixed I see in the mornings now riding along the road from Slip End towards the rugby club...

I spotted someone in an ACF shirt on Clapham Common a week or so ago. We both got leafleted by the cops, but were going in opposite directions.

Who was that?

Not I.  I don't cross the Common any more; I go down/up the side.  And I've never been leafletted by the BiB.
Getting there...

Had a virtual/real world moment of confusion today.  I saw Peli on a steamroller at the lights at Aldwych (bottom of Kingsway) this evening and almost greeted her - and realised just in time that we'd never met and that it would be a bit, well, odd.  Ho hum. 

I was in a bright yellow top and riding a Paddywagon with a giant black carradice.  Hello virtually and belatedly.

Saw TT Wednesday afternoon. He was cycling north towards Horley, not far from his abode. I overtook him in the motor.

I saw a black pudding on a bike today. It was neither black nor puddingy.
