    Yep hybrid. He probably wears hi viz, is covered in LED lights, has a helmet with a mirror visor, herman safety wing, and spends his time stopped at ASLs self flagellating like a jesuit.

    Whoever he is, one thing's for certain, he's the greatest cycle commuter of all time.

    I reckon he is BoJo.

    I think I saw him this morning. Chap on a really squeaky 2010 Spesh Sirrus, saddle too low, rear wheel out of true so badly he had to undo the rear breaks. He jumped 13 red lights, and on three separate occasions he rode through pedestrians on a zebra crossing blowing his airzound. This included a group of primary school children that he exposed himself to while sailing through. Knocking one over. He had a helmet on though. But it was on backwards.

    This all seems a bit personal - have I missed something?!

    My Spidey sense is tingling - I suspect W1 is long gone now and won't appear back on this forum! If he/she does, it will be under a pseudnym...

    He is probably afraid the Liberal Left, working class, students and public sector workers will "pitch fork" him if they ever learn his identity...

    Afternoon all.

    Still here, still scalping roadies (including a chap on a flash all-white looking SS this morning). Oh, and I'm none of the above, sorry.

    is that some sort of "Oxo Tower" thing which public sector workers engage in DDD?
