I'm now thinking that although I spotted Kim, did I ignore Sally and Magnatom?

Not many of these in the wild!

Robert, Kim's suit was indeed rather flash and quite eye-catching. He looked quite handsome, so understandable you'd spot him. Magnatom and Sally just looked like themselves :)

@chdot, I'm not surprised. The lack of a saddle would make it a tad uncomfortable! Mind you. at least it has wheels, unlike the bike in the foreground...

Yep, it was a triple spot, of some of our illustrious, industrious, visionary and dangerous
leadersspokespersonschampions (seems a fitting word in 2012!). From the camera footage I can't tell who was armed...Most out of character, I've missed spotting two ladies over the last week - I can't decide if that's a sign of becoming more or less gentlemanly...

At the double mini roundabout at Inverkeithing this morning. 2 cyclists urinating against bushes in broad daylight, and in plain sight of everyone! Totally disgusting, and inappropriate.
About 3 cars in front of me was a Police car which just drove past, I really hope they did a u-turn at the next roundabout, and spoke to these filthy animals.

"Not many of these in the wild! "
Without clicking through to Flickr, I'm guessing that's the one in Lamb's Conduit St (London).
Seems to be a permanent resident (there's a photo of it in my Flickr stream somewhere).
There's also one in the Drumlanrig Bicycle Museum I think.

Exactly, my dear Watson.
And apparently, for I have long wondered: "The street is named after William Lambe, in recognition of the £1,500 he gave for the rebuilding of the Holborn Conduit in 1564." and is nothing to do with exercising one's rights as a Freeman of the City of London.
It looks like a Dutchbike take on the Raleigh Vektar!

Spotted at the lights at North Bridge northbound, a man springing instantly into his clipless pedals as soon as the light went amber. Poised and ready to sprint off as soon as it went green he was. Then he toppled sideways, almost taking out the guy next to him and two behind him as well. If you are reading this

@Arellcat "and is nothing to do with exercising one's rights as a Freeman of the City of London."
Indeed. It's also well west of the City of London proper. I used to like this part of London - fond memories as I went to college in Bloomsbury. The Lamb pub in Lambs Conduit Street is also named after Bill Lambe, nice to see it remains more-or-less as it used to be although the nearby Sun, which at one time boasted the biggest selection of real ales in London, has since undergone several name changes and no longer has a single real ale (I am told). A plastic pub to go with the plastic bike, maybe...

This is in the bike shed this morning. I wonder if the owner has any plans for the day

Now got a mental image of Thor riding a teeny wee balance bike so Mjolnir can reach the polo ball.

the Lamb I was in a couple of years back, very good. The polo mallet does not appear to be particularly secure?

This morning, about 9:30... Lady on a trike - with dog I think - at the Lower Granton road / Trinity road junction, while nearby a folding bike with a trailer was helping to whisk away the signposts (from last night's Moonwalk?). It was 'a' wee folding bike but I don't think it was the Wee Folding Bike...?

On Saturday, early afternoon, on the continuation of the Bridges road (near the Tri Centre) - mum on tandem with child stoker, dad with another child on seat behind him and a trailer in tow (there may have been another child in the trailer, or it might just have been the picnic - I didn't notice).

@Its_me_knees the dog walking / carrying trikist is an oft-spotted lady. Usually has a couple of Shih Tzus with her and sometimes sports a fluo-pink beanie

fimm - that's our usual configuration, but not us!

@Kaputnik. I've seen the pink chapeau'd lady a few times before... last Sunday's tricyclist was a younger and less day-glo version.

Recumbent trike, Morningside Road, turned left into (I think) Canaan Lane.

Why doesn't someone post on Soul Cycles Facebook page? Infact why don't we ALL post they question on the Soul Cycles facebook page?

Steady on DaveC, you're starting to sound like one of those cycle campaigners that raise 'contentious' issues thereby stoking online debate! ;-)

They turned left and waited for the pedestrian lights.

Lunchtime trip to B&Q at Hermiston Gait. I was coming out with 3kg of bonemeal and some canes. Gent locking up Giant Defy next to me. Admire my Brooks, asked if he could get one local, so I pointed him in TBC direction. He was so busy admiring it and I was so busy telling him how comfy it is that he locked his bike to itself rather than the Sheffield stand... I only noticed after he had popped inside, but I'm sure it's so quiet out there that it would have been fine.
