Pah!! He runs a bigger gear than me, so can easily out pace me on the straights. I was doing 30mph at 150rpm, and he leaves me for dust.

Disgraceful!,coming off of Tower Bridge the other day a cyclist asked me the way to Lewisham,I didn't really know but I thought it was a bit further up towards,Elephant,looks like I was right as he found his way and was quite happy,knew I had seen it on a sign somewhere,seemed a friendly chap,never did ask if he was with cc.Lewisham is like on the planet Pluto.

[QUOTE 2090177, member: 1314"]lol. I was filtering up the middle of 2 lanes of traffic towards Reds at Tooting Bec. Got to ASL and saw moped in the centre. Thought I better go on its inside, just as lights changed, but decided to race it on the outside. Nope. Moped raced off on my inside and I cut up/held up car on my right, sort off, as Gaz came past waving hello.[/quote]
I think we all know that junction is a PITA. If you can get through it without almost being hit or being honked then it's all good.

[QUOTE 2093329, member: 1314"]Gaz again at Clapham Southside in the pouring rain.
"Couldn't slipstream you," he quipped as he passed "as you have no mudguards."
The rotter.[/quote]
lol sorry :P

Nice to see you too! I was stopping to help anyway even before I realised it was you, but you were obviously sorted (self-destructing multi-tool aside).
You may have noticed I wasn't on fixed, as it was hurting my shoulder a bit much. That's my 'interim' tourer till I get sorted properly.

[QUOTE 2115840, member: 1314"]Gaz - as he passed fireworks went off, literally. Some Chav threw a banger on the road. About 20 metres in front of me and about 10/15 behind Gaz.[/quote]
Blimey, Gaz must have quite an entourage - whenever he passes, there are fireworks!
I've not seen any CCers, but as far as I know the closest ones are Exeter, Plymouth, and Dartmoor. (You can probably work out where I am with some triangulation now!)

Was that a banger? I presumed it was a blow out... I'll see if I have anything on film.
I spoke to another cyclist further down, and he also thought it was someone having a blow out, but I didn't see anyone showing signs of slowing down when I looked behind.

I wonder if rockets attached to the chainstays may assist commute times?

That wasn't you earlier, was it, SD? On the A3 at New Malden (he's unhurt by the way).[/quote]
Hmmm... maybe the rockets are not a good idea! Glad the biker is ok, pics in the article look quite spectacular

[QUOTE 2115900, member: 1314"]No blowout - there was a little flare and a bit of smoke with the bang.[/quote]
From my video footage it looks like a guys tire blows. Big puff of smoke from his tyre and he pulls up.

It's all good until you arrive at work and realize that your legs are...non existent. (Perhaps you need some of those blade things like the paralympians have!)I wonder if rockets attached to the chainstays may assist commute times?
