    Barry banter right enough, tho Im glad only Arellcat was there to see me 'stall' the Fuego, twice! Almond tea has much to recommend it :)

    I went past Py just after 9 and spotted a recumbent and a trike locked up out side.

    We also had tandem, folder, fixie, tourer. Any others?

    I was foxed by the Fuego as I initially though it was Laidback who in fact turned up with a *DSO.

    That's the same Arellcat who is now wishing that she'd believed today's weather forecast and ridden the big bike with mudguards. Nice to see everyone again, and put some new faces to names!

    Any bike parking issues after that "no bikes" notice was stuck up on the PY fence?

    I think we all complied and used the wee fence rather than the quartermile one. Guess no-one was feeling civilly disobedient this morning.

    David McCandless knows a lot about graphic design and makes some very pretty and appealing pictures, with absolutely no infographical merit. I bought his book anyway!

    Yaaay, at last!

    Here are the bikes from yesterday. From front to back is:-

    Trike, recumbent, tandem, folder, fixie, and drop barred bike belonging to Stepdoh I think.

    Told you it was rubbish.

    "Told you it was rubbish."

    Sorry I didn't make it to this one, though I would have loved to have seen Arellcat's trike again. 3,000 miles makes for a relatively rough commute this time of year.

    Nope, not me, I'm the red straight barred one just behind where you were standing. May have been in the process of removing when you were taking it :) Lowered the mud quotient of the picture significantly.

    @ Min - If the drop barred bike is a black Revolution Cross its mine. This is turning into the 'spotted' post...

    Cool, then we can add "cross bike" to the list! I didn't really look at it so wasn't sure. :-)

    @Min - you saying Bicyclelegal's ride ain't worth lookin' at?

    that's just 'cause he wasn't riding his tandem, a very good natured beast.

    Which reminds me - magnificent silver Dolan racing tandem with red tape and cabling appeared outside the Commie pool on Saturday morning prior to ERC runs. I didn't see it head out with a group but would have been fun trying to negotiate it through a chain gang. Also would have been unbeatable in a straight line!

    Stop stirring! :-P It was just vying for competition with trikes,tandems and treecreepers.
