Important Warning for London Cyclists!

[Jezston]

A particularly moany bearded cyclist is soon to be amongst you!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

But seriously, after being exiled to Nottingham for the last 5 and a half years due to the rather niche nature of my profession, the last two of which with growing frustration, family losses and a gradual focusing back on London, like a bolt from the blue I've been offered - and accepted - an amazing job that right slap bang in the centre.

I could get knocked off my bike on my way home tonight, spat on and set fire to and it won't kill my mood! This **** is ON!

For those of you who I imagine may be particularly concerned by my increased proximity, you have little to worry as I don't DO south London, darling

Good luck! And you better get the old cattle prod out to charge in readiness.

"Bolt from the blue" mmm - have you got the Chelsea job?

He has got a new job making sure Usain Bolt only has blue M&Ms at the Olympics.

So not all bad news then?

that's really good news. Congratulations. I can't wait to see you confront your avatar at LMNH

by the way - I've always thought of Nottingham as a really good city to ride in - but if you want great cycling, cycling that compares favourably with such out of the way places as Amsterdam and Copenhagen, then the SW postcodes beckon.

South West is best, dear boy

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I bet you are relieved to be joining us normal people down south.

Bwahahahaha!!

but if you want great cycling, cycling that compares favourably with such out of the way places as Baghdad, Kabul and Damascus then the SW postcodes beckon.

FTFY!

45 cyclists waiting at a red light can't be wrong......

See this is something I'm worried about upon my return - I'm not used that such large numbers of cyclists around me. Most of my encounters with other cyclists on my commute are simply overtaking the mountain bike pavement-hopping hoodie and spotting the occasional roadie going in some other direction. Learning and managing the etiquette of sharing an ASZ with anyone other than the arse who parked their car in it is going to be an interesting challenge.

Also, I have discovered that not only does my new place of work have secure bike parking - it also has shower facilities - and I know this because my new boss rides her Surly LHT in every day and uses them. Seriously at some point I'm going to wake up in a padded cell and realise I've imagined all of this.

Did I mention I won the lottery last week? Ok it was only £6.70 but it's like ... I've had a lot of s*** luck the last couple of years without getting into too much of a woe is me tale - I guess all the good luck been backed up and burst the floodbanks all of a sudden. Also I met a really nice girl a couple of weeks back, who coincidentally lives in London.

Yeah definitely due to suddenly wake up in a straightjacket and realise it's all been a dream in 3 ... 2 ...

Bolt from the blue......would that be helping Boris? Seriously though, I bet you are relieved to be joining us ABnormal people down south.

FTFY

Congratulations. Can I come along sometime soon and touch your hand ? In the expectation of some of that good luck rubbing off on me.
