London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

In memory of another life tragically taken from us on the roads of London, there will be a memorial ride on this date where we will visit the spot where Emma passed away, I have spoken to Riccardo, and he will be writing a small piece about Emma and her Life which will be recited at the Stone Circle (the usual critical mass starting point). Beginning at 6pm, we will start/finish at this point taking in sections of Central and West London to hopefully offer a very visible presence, and give Emma a worthy send off from her fellow cyclists. I'll be planning the route over the next week, but help with printing/laminating of spoke cards for this would be much appreciated. Tell your friends, tell your colleagues, tell your loved ones, tell everyone, see you there.

Update:

Start at the stone circle (southbank) 6pm
Route through central London including accident spot in Holborn
Finish at stone circle approximately 8-8:30pm

I'm gonna kick off the list:

I'm doing the dunwich dynamo but i'd really like to take some part in this ride. I will add my name later when I sort out my timetable for that day.

I'll be away unfortunately, but thoughts and best wishes going out to all involved. I hope it goes well.
+1 to what Greasy said, keep it calm and respectful.

Hey guys,

Please see below for the spoke card design courtesy of Temper_Temper:


Clefty has kindly offered her help in laminating and cutting, is there anyone here who could help out with some discounted, or preferably free printing?

Unfortunetly I will be away that weekend but I hope you all have a safe ride.

Is it just me who can't see it?

Can't make this ride as its my stag day.

Going well so far, good one Jay.

Also I think I might be lent a bike if i dont have one by then.

The ride to Southend is the same day, maybe if we can set out a little earlier in the morning we could make it back in time to meet up.

Dear All You Fixies
PROTEST TOMORROW FRIDAY 3 JULY
Sorry dont really know where to post this on your site. See below email I just rec'd re a protest in Reading at the CPS following the lack of action when a van mowed down and killed a cyclist with the excuse SMIDSY. Guess you guys are all based in London. But if anyone can pass on to Reading cyclists that would be great.

And how about doing the same at the London CPS at the same time tomorrow?!? Maybe you can coordiate/liase with Adrian.

I am desparately trying to get Eilidh's case to court so the driver doesnt just walk away and continue this precedent of - never mind mate, sh!t happens, off you go. The case should be going to the London CPS any day now.

Please forward as much as you can. Many thanks.

Sorry this is really short notice, but I have been offline for a while
See the details of our action below:-

This Friday (3 July) is the 1st anniversary of the death of local cyclist Anthony Maynard.
Anthony was cycling between Henley and Bix when he was struck from behind by a van driver who claimed in his defence that he didn't see Anthony.
Anthony was with another local cyclist who was seriously injured.
The Crown prosecution service decided not to prosecute the driver, and this decision has left any vehicle driver who kills a cyclist to simply say I didn't see him or her and get away scot free.
This is of course an outrageous decision, but there is no option to appeal. So left with no choice Reading Cycling club (of which Anthony was a long term member) are organising a protest outside the office of the Crown prosecution service at Eaton Court, 112 Oxford Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 7LL.

The CPS offices are close to the town centre, at the very start of the Oxford Road:
The cycling club and friends of Anthony would like to invite any cyclists to join us in this protest.
We will meet at 4 pm, and the protest will last about 10 minutes. Please come along, and spread the word.

This deserves a thread in its own right as well, I agree 100% with what you are doing, if you PM Velocio he can sticky it for you as well.

Regards
James

might be able too, however either way, I might be able to offer printing services, anyone near old street/golden lane?
