    Greg66 - it's all in the sig - elegant, Adonis like appearance, seemingly radiating light around him; stylish monotone red or blue clothing - a hunter's eyes allied to a predator's turn of speed and more cunning that a fox who is Professor of cunning at etc.... Often pursued by female cyclists who have sudden trouble staying put on their saddle.

    richVSrich - black boardman hybrid with white crudcatchers > often wearing red shorts over blue lycra > orange hump backpack cover
    hfidgen - Grey / White BMC > Blue shorts > Black/Orange bag > Going the other way to most of you guys...
    Bassjunkieuk - Black/red Giant SCR 3.0 with black/red rucksack. At the moment it's combat shorts and sleeveless top, tattoo'd and sporting a helmet cam and a six seat towing arrangment hanging off the seatpost which makes me VERY easy to spot :-)
    rjsterry - scuffed white, steel-framed Giant roadie, occasionally with 'guards. Always have white Spesh Propero lid, and black facemask, and usually orange dhb glasses, a variety of lycra, although mostly red/black. Navy blue Crumpler courier bag. And sporting ever so slightly Spanish waiter sized hips
    Tricycleboy- Gran Fondo w/ red tyres, Grey baggies and various team kit tops, red Deuter bag.

  • I think a photographer on the Embankment, at various RL's, over a few days, is required.....oh, and I'm not volunteering.

    Name, plus bike, plus clothes, plus photo - what a SCR line-up (in a non-police fashion)!

    Greg66 - it's all in the sig - elegant, Bacchus like appearance, radiating light entertainment and musical theatre around him; 1980's monotone red or blue clothing - wang eyes allied to an incubator's turn of speed and more chafing than a bag of steel drill swarf in your chamois creme.... Often pursued by female cyclists who have sudden trouble staying put on their saddle - but no trouble at all in keeping up becasue he teases them by riding only just out of their reach.

    Bassjunkieuk - Black/red Giant SCR 3.0 with black/red rucksack. At the moment it's combat shorts and sleeveless top, tattoo'd and sporting a helmet cam and a six seat towing arrangment hanging off the seatpost which makes me VERY easy to spot :-)

Always have white Spesh Propero lid, and black facemask, and usually orange dhb glasses, a variety of lycra, although mostly red/black. Navy blue Crumpler courier bag.
