This afternoon i spotted Vic riding across the Pyrmont bridge over the 10k speed limit, i waved but was Vic was in her own world.
Then later on i saw Justin riding his fixie along George St dodging buses near QVB.

jbcow · Postby **jbcow** » 16 Sep 2010, 23:04

Didn't see you Michael.

On the other hand, if I posted a spotted for every time I saw Vic on her way to work, I'd clog up the forum.

Are... a completely mealiness thread, perfect to start my day

This week I've spotted Mark H riding along Cooks river. Haven't seen him on a DHBC ride in ages.

Last week it was Amy on her home commute.

I saw Vic yesterday as well, riding with cheeky monkey. Lets dress her in red and white stripes and turn it in to a game.

Ooh this game sounds like fun! Can I spot myself? How about I make it more challenging and start dressing in disguise when I ride.

Sorry Chidgey, I didn't see you

How annoying are those stupid rangers that wave their stupid things at you along the bridge?

the rangers are useless most people just ignore them and keep riding. They need to paint bike lanes on the bridge it would make it heaps safer.

i think Wally is going to stick.

I rode my Townie into the city today. I'm glad nobody saw me because I am sure I looked ridiculous plus I didn't realise how much I must back pedal while slow-maneuvering until I accidentally braked and nearly fell off.

Is that you on the Masi fixie? I had no idea. I just thought is was another friendly cyclist. We pass each other almost everyday.

This morning Simon (who works in Gordon) came racing past me. He's said good morning and I felt embrassingly slow as we went up Ryde Road.

My usual commute is Annandale to Gordon - leaving home at 7 am and coming back late.
I love riding over the the bridges on the way to work - seeing the harbour is good for my mental health!

Adrian I think I had a significant equipment weight advantage and no panniers, but sorry about speeding past!
I'll slow down and hyperventilate next time

I would have done more than say hi but I was running late.

Looking forward to the new DHBC spotting game

Rainbow · Postby **Rainbow** » 27 Sep 2010, 18:16

I have been spotted by non-DHBC members asking about the club. One fellow today spotted me, said that he'd just moved to Dulwich Hill and would like to ride with us. I enquired as to where he had moved from, he replied "Newtown."!!!!!
Hahaha

Trouty · Postby **Trouty** » 30 Sep 2010, 15:44

Ok - as I am driving to work or walking through the city, I am continually seeing people in DHBC windvests or jerseys. It used to be I knew them all - but I have seen about 5 guys in the last month with club kit that I have never seen before on any rides with us at slowies or waterfall. Where are all these people from?...who are they? Good to see we are getting bigger though.

Unfortunately not long after that I spotted a poor man who had what seemed to be a heart attack while riding. It was not a very pleasant morning and I can only hope he was ok but when I left things did not look promising

The double-beep is universally accepted as "Hey! I know you!". In my opinion anyway. It's much friendlier than just holding the button down.
