Superted and co. on the Champs Elysees

Should have said hello!

Fuck powder.
Stroh rum and Oramorph liquid morphine. My girlfriend invented this cocktail. It's called the Strohramorph

Stroh rum is the devil.

haha...

It kind of gives away why anyone would want to pay to make their cherished and shiny ride look all gank!

Have you actually read what this thread is about?

:p

All I wanted was a pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me.

Just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me...

+1

To the Blue Man

Fuck, second edit. + 1 to Quinn's comments about cabs

Ha! Murts did it first...

I vote yes to paint stripped/rusty bikes

Don't buy a Create/Unipak. I work in a bike shop and we see at least one of these a day where the chain has broken/something important fell off/the crickets escaped from the bottom bracket/it caught fire. You'll end up spending the same again as the original price, just to end up with a heavy POS. Fuji Tracks are good, but I think pretty much everyone is out of stock.

on charing x road at lunchtime 4 peeps who were on the emma ride on sat. 3 fellas 1 gal, nice tall colnago. Was going to shout 'do a skid' but most of you were track standing so it would have been tricky. Anyways hello!

Think that was the cloggy's from Rotterdam who were over this weekend.

Disposable BBQ's might not be a good idea - I have a feeling they'll burn through the tarmac underneath...

Wouldn't be good to leave big black marks all over the roof!

As long it's me on the bike and not on the floor, I'm into it...

See you guys later...

I might even play!

Are you guys playing tonight?

I've got some friends in town from Rotterdam Fixed Gear and they want to play...

Hence speed limits cannot be enforced on cyclists. However you can be nicked for riding like a cunt

Therein lies the crux...

You can do >30 down Holland Park Ave, Hyde Park Corner underpass and on the East Drinks TT

I fucking can't!

goolies

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Haven't heard that word in ages!

I may take a small drill to make holes in my shoes if they start filling up with water again. Drainage is where it's at folks.

When I was growing up in the '70's, we had an old mini that was basically a rusty shell. There were rusty patched in the floorpan that let water in when it rained, so my dad drilled some holes to let the water out. It drained away and my dad was very pleased with himself. Of course, it meant there were even more holes in the floor, so next time it rained twice as much water came in.

SIlly sod

The point is, if any other road user was killed by an HGV things would be taken a lot more seriously. If you are going to take charge of a dangerous machine, you should be made to be responsible for your actions and aware of the damage you can cause. I dont think every driver is necessarily guilty. I dont necessarily want Eilidh's driver to end up in jail. All we want is for them to go to court and have a fair hearing. At the moment they are not even doing that. If it had been a pedestrian at the crossing what do you think would have happened? Sorry mate, didnt see you? And that would be that? So currently these drivers can get back in their truck, the same truck, and do the same thing the next day. And come up with the same excuse! Look, Eilidh and Anthony are proof that good, experienced cylists are still killed. They are not ditsy blonde girls who dont know how to ride. They were in front and driven over! Not a left turn. We just want equal protection of the law like any other road user. These are not accidents. An accident is something that cannot be avoided. These are failures, be that failure of government policy, truck companies, drivers, or cyclists. If a driver kills a cyclist he pays with the guilt/ emotional trauma, whatever. No fine, no points, no ban, no court case, no job loss, no need to prove his innocence. And they know this. So there is no recourse, no incentive by truck company or driver to make sure it doesnt happen. But the cyclist dies, the dependants are left without a parent, the family and friends suffer, the emergency teams suffer and we as tax payers all suffer. The law is supposed to protect the innocent and vulnerable. Compare the vulnerability of a cyclist sharing space with a fully loaded tipper truck with that of its driver. QED.
PS If you wait for a green light at Hyde Park corner you will be mashed. Maybe they have put in better cycle lanes since I did that commute a long time ago.

Well put, Ktee.

Riding a bike shouldn't be a dangerous thing. Roads (with the exceptions of motorways) were not built for cars, irrespective of what people behind the wheel will tell you. We all pay for them through our taxes (not the ficticious 'road tax'), we deserve consideration and due care. Lots of drivers cite people jumping red lights and running people over on pavements as though it's a justification for driving like pricks. It's not.

But come the evening they will
rise again: Badger, Pirate, Cannibal. Commutare.

What the fuck are they talking about?

Just about to say, I've got one. The nice people at Madison have lent it to us to review for Fixed mag.

So far I've ridden around loads with it (and nearly been taken out by a WVM!) I cut up a pair of old snowboard goggles and used the strap - I think the head mount is best, you don't get so much vibration as you would if it was mounted on the bike.

I also put it on a certain frame builder as an experiment as he was working on a bike. Looks pretty good from his POV, will do more with it soon.

Very impressive. Easy to use, records in H264 so ready for Quicktime right away.

PM'd, Matt!

You are!

No returns.

Hahahahahaha!

The answers on this thread are retarded

hahahaha, that's brilliant
