London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

i will be wearing a knog cap under my helmet, black helmet, blue chrome bag.

pleez say hi!

I'll be in the corner with the red carnation and raincoat reading the times. The codeword is "do a skid"

I'll shall mostly be singing 'hangin' on the old barbed wire' ...

i'll still be in work. twiddling my thumbs.

Bad luck. At least you'll be warm.

I was about to not go, but reading this thread, i will be there...
velo libre, what steed will you be on! i will be on the red donohue, with a retarded brake.
SAY HI!

no, i'll be in the apps room by the looks of things, which is annoyingly cold. and can't wear gloves.

More annoyed i can't seem to ever be off work when this is on, nevermind. hope everyone has a good time tonight anyway!

Hope to say hi to some of you down there, will be trundling (what a word) around on a black IRO with white components. Looking forward to it!

See you down there!
Ill be on a red team Raleigh with yellow head tube. Say hello!
I think it'll be great tonite! Wrap up nice and warm, whisky, little fire on handlebars.

Out. Things to do.

haha. wasn't my fault you were too slow!

crimson steamroller, decal-less, so, black helmet, blue courier bag.

@Object ... Meh.

<insert winky here>

leaving soon, hopefully see some of you there.

gripping stuff.

Good to have a thread for CM. Always plan to make it but usually fail to get unchained from my desk. Hope to see you all last friday of December.

something interesting that did happen on the ride was:

i was at the back, chatting to someone, and suddenly a police siren goes, so the ride splits a bit. turn round to see a stationary police van without lights on just sirening for the fuck of it it seems. then me and some others helped this guy get on his tall bike (you know, with like two frames on top of each other) and the cops just put on their flashing lights but continue to crawl behind the mass.

weird and stupid.

Hoping to make it to a CM sometime soon, looks like good fun.

Was bludy cold but enjoyable night!
Good to meet and chat to a few critical foremengers.
That MBK is well nice!

jogger jim, nice to see you again. And everyone else for that matter.

Rob ... No CM, no talk ... if you find CM doesn't float your boat, why would bother even looking at this thread?

Was a bit bloomin' taters eh!?

Nice to lose owen, jogger, senor garcia and veLLo. God, I always lose everyone.

I bailed when we got to Trafalgar Square for the second time ... gets me a bit annoyed that the Mass seems to just stay in the West End mostly, going in circles, and I get a bit annoyed with the loitering/corking at Oxford and Picadilly Circuses. Why not go to the city, or west down to kensington (where motor-dependancy is at its worst)? I don't get it. Meh.

Good to meet a couple of lurkengers there, such as luckyskull.

met a couple of guys on this CM, helped them open a bottle on a railing (and basically threw half the beer onto the pavement) - you on here? Good to meet you and sorry about the spill :-)

Yeah Rob you hater with no mad skillz

tough man... tough

hahahah

Anyone know if there's a CM on the last friday of December? Only it's Christmas day!

.

CM on Christmas Day... anyone go? Must be a bit nice not having to feel like you're doing some kind of 'protesting', but just having a nice flowy bike ride with people.

i think father christmas was there

True fact...

I can't imagine even nic making it any less bland.

So you don't like critical mass?*

*rhetorical question

It's all about the beers at the John Snow afterwards anyway... ;]

I could've sworn that on CM in October i saw one of the people from the Pedal documentary, the guy who says he uses his voice like cars use their horns. I might have been totally wrong but they looked real similarm, he was riding a folding bike I think.

if he wasn't shouting, it wasn't him ha!

Anyone going along next Friday?

perhaps.

I'd like to, time, weather and family permitting...

Think Ill be there

<---- will be there

Quite tempted on this one - not been to a critical mass and I DO enjoy the john snow. What time you getting there Glover McGlovington of Glove-related Gloves?

definately maybe there

Straight from work in Battersea, so probably between 6 - 6.30

Yep, I will turn up for a bit.

when is the next one and where is the starting location

"The London Mass meets at 6.00pm on the last Friday of every month on the South Bank under Waterloo Bridge, by the National Film Theatre."

Gonna have to throw the project bike together with some loose bits but I'm in.

never been, so might be along to see what all the hooha is about

I'm at a wake before Mass, anyone who's going too want to ride from that to CM with me around 6pm? I'm a little unsure of the geography around Kew etc... Dicki are you going to the wake?
