Just seen Arch on Look North

[Cycling Naturalist]

Too many of you have sent me PMs about forming an Arch fan club for me to respond to all of you individually. Could we hire a football ground for a meeting?

 

[Arch]

I wonder if you're going to get a spate of interesting maneouvres from drivers just so they get their 15 minutes of fame...keep changing the colour of your top!

The thing is, the camera itself is quite noticable! If I'd had time I could have perhaps pointed out that some cameras are more discreet, so you don't know if you're going to be filmed or not... Ah well...

I did stress to the reporter that I also drive, so I know it's possible to do it well, but you have to face the fact, a story ain't so good unless it's got a bit of aggro....

Ah, I'll be nobody again tomorrow....

You'd be a natural for one of these celebrity jungle programs. "After living as a student, eating wichity grubs was a luxury," smiled Arch as she wrung out a toad for a drink.

Here is an early prototype:

Well it's the truth! Just as the interests of workers and management are irreconcilable in a capitalist society, the interests of cyclists and motorists in Britain are opposed, given the entirely car-centered design of the environment they share.

I hope that you will get a chance to draw the interview round to the saner Dutch model next time!

You'll never be a nobody to us, Arch. Very well done.
You came across as a normal person who's riding a bike, rather than a lycra warrior car-hating RLJ vegan who knits her own pasta.
*applauds*

 

[Arch]

Hmm, never tried knitting pasta... Spaghetti would be easy - just cut the wool into lengths...

It wasn't Sheldon Brown's hat was it?

 

[rich p]

That's the one, well done Fnaar.

She must have got it cheap on ebay!

 

[trustysteed]

came with a free beard as well!

 

[Arch]

Why were you wearing that German 1st World War hat?

I couldn't get hold of a l'il Kim wig in time...
