Ego stroked

Just zis Guy, you know?

Riding through London yesterday I came across a very fit female
racer, who was leaving everybody but me behind with ease. When we
stopped at the lights she noted my legs and said she had never seen
anyone go that fast on a folder :-)

Paddington to Canary Wharf currently running at around 35 minutes,
return in 40. Is it uphill, I wonder, or am I just more knackered?

/me considers entering the folding bike race in July or whenever it
was.

Well done that Bromptonista.


I got "nice arse" shouted at me by a passing car passenger theother
day. A bloke, unfortunately.

I understand very little of what's being discussed
but for some reason it's fascinating.

Which meaning of "fit" are you using?

I suspect "both", which is refreshing.

Heh. I can pass the majority of cyclists out here on the moors,
but that's basically the casual majority. Little over a week ago
I was passed on the long uphill by an attractive young lady on
a roadie, and could do nothing but wish I'd been on the folder
so at least I'd've had something other than the paunch to blame.

see that many out in SW london. but they do seem to one or the other.

I always mean the traditional sense, as in physically fit, but in
this case, yes, both :-)

Lance Armstrong's auto biog is a self serving piece
of poo, but in this instance the title, at least,
seems apposite.

Having a heart attack, whilst trying to keep on Vicky P's wheel has got

Only if you're within about shouting distance or so of managing to
actually do it...
