As a potential newbie to one of the West London clubs, this thread has been a godsend.

As soon as my shoulder is back to full strength I'm going to go for a ride with a couple of the clubs, namely Twickenham, Kingston Wheelers and maybe Kingston Phoenix.

I'd seen London Dynamo and was put off by thier lack of history and a touch of intuition. I quite like the idea of going on a club run with some members who were riding bikes before I was born.

So Al, if you have any advice I'd love to hear it, are you a member of a club round here at the moment? I'm in Teddington.

Must say that I didn't find them unfriendly (which might sound strange), but have belonged to clubs before and it seems the approach is generally and rather sadly the same. I accept that cycling is one of those sports where you have to HTFU - but got me thinking that if I was complete novice would I return for another club run? You can imagine the scenario, you keep up for 50 miles and then someone puts the hammer down and you're left spat out the back and on your own with 10 or 15 miles to get back home and feeling knackered.

Blatantly! or the abbreviation of ... "Blates!"

'n I ain't even lyin'!

Pretty damn sad. He was younger than me too, he definitely made an impression.

R.I.P.

Hi Vis Yo!

With a spliff I hope.

Ha ha, Sadly not... me stoned at work is not a great idea.

Just finished with my old pals at A&E at Charring Cross Hospital (You know you're a regular when the gave two different files on you)

After the X-ray it was pretty obvious I'd "Popped" my AC ligament. No surgery required just a sling and a referal to the fracture clinic at West Middlesex hospital.

Right, I'm off to work riding brakeless in a sling.

Last Saturday in Dorset

Did you lose the feeling in your hands on the way down?

Tell me about it..

Long baths, weed, relaxation therapy, Weed infused Tea, massages and more relaxing...

Actually Skully, can you do me a note for work?

If you had fully broken your collarbone then you'd know about! (talking from recent experience)

It sounds like you may have fractured it if you can still use your arm to an extent. I'd go and get piece of mind.

p.s. Skully, will you be my doctor? ;)

Codine messes with my guts, they gave me a load after my ankle surgery and I couldn't crap for about 4 days, so no thanks.

Actually, get yourself an old vacuum tube, some copper wire, the odd rheostat, capacitor and domestic power supply, and build your own X-ray machine.

Alternatively (and I can't believe nobody has suggested this yet), HTFU.

YES!! took a while didn't it?

So the consensus seems to be go to A&E tomorrow morning then.

Having thought about it a bit I think there is also the fear of walking out with a sling on and not being able to ride for a month. Denial off the highest order.

i would definately have your crank looked at
could turn sceptic if you are not careful

shit... I didn't think of that?

So after a huge and quite dramatic piece of pedal strike on a curb on the way home on Friday Night/Saturday Morning, that left me with a bent crank arm and a nice big bruise on my right Hip, I also have a really painful right shoulder.

So here I am on Wednesday, doing what I always do, thinking "how long do I leave it before getting yet another X-ray to see if this sharp pain is a broken collarbone or whatever".

I'd rather not waste NHS funds on a bruised shoulder, but I also don't want to loose any range of movement in my shoulder. I'm leaving it until tomorrow morning, if the lump is still there and the sharp pain accompanies it, then I'm off to Charring Cross.

Having been riding and skateboarding for as long as I can remember I go through this one a fair bit.

I just wondered if anyone else was familiar with this inner turmoil.

Never good to hear about a fallen comrade. Get well soon!

Girl with long dark hair on a beautiful blue 3Rensho with yellow decals on Richmond Road just over the bridge heading away from Richmond at about ten to nine.

Guy on what looked like a classic style condor track, he was rocking the aviators and white track mitts heading West on Lonsdale Road at about 9 AM.

And

Guy with short blond hair and white shades on white Genisis on Thames Path just by Hammersmith bridge about five past nine. I Nodded with a jaunty wink, he gave me the peace sign.

Good morning to you both.

Done..

neither did I, so curiosity got the better of me, then I discovered it is actually just a guy opening a box and commenting on what he got in the box. He just happens to be one of the biggest tools on thee planet as well.

So many fails in one vid it's unbelievable.

Friendly guy on a Raleigh Team Bananna with North Road style comfort bars, going past Olympia on my way into town about 9 this morning.
