With the sunshine at the start of the week it was like critical mass every morning on my ride to work - brilliant to see so many bikes on the road, not so brilliant to see some proper assclown cycling skills in full-on rush hour traffic.

I did an odd thing last night, went for a cycle without alchohol at beginning, middle or end of it. It made me feel all funny inside.

I plan to put things right by being at the JS shortly after 6.

Thanks skullhead. I can't claim the glory myself - a friend put it together in about half an hour so i was totally overjoyed and totally jealous of his mad skillz in equal measure.

I’m after:

Shiny bullhorn bars (38/40 wide) preferably Nitto, but will consider similar, and a Pearl stem with a 70mm reach or similar (Cinelli 1A? 22.2 quill / 26.0 bar).

I know I can order new through hubjub for just over £50, but thought i'd check if anyone has spares they want to sell first. I’m happy to polish them up to shiny-bling-bling standard myself if they’re a bit scrappy.

Anyone?

I saw a bloke (on a geared bike) face-plant the back of an ambulance on Clerkenwell road last week. He was tearing up the outside of traffic when a police car came up the road behind him with siren on. He pulled into the first gap in traffic and slammed on the brakes - slowly bringing himself up onto the front wheel and going over just enough to head butt the stationary ambulance in front.

Bike accidents are never funny, but he was so graceful i had to chuckle, and he didn't seemed harmed.

@OP - the way i approach things; cycling / traffic can be dangerous, whatever you ride. Maybe get shorter cranks to stop you thinking about the pedal strike?

I dread to think what the photographer was doing down there.

thanks VB. Appreciate all the work you've put into this. and +1 on the ease of check-out, that was a nice touch.

Why the cheese?

WTF? Hillbilly has taken to carrying a spare mini-bike in case he wears through his Plug??

Woo Hoo!

i'll take the white san marco!

Let me do you a Drarwin' . . .

Ed, i'll drop off that brake caliper at 7 but need to scoot pretty sharpish to catch the footie. Hopefully see some of you there.

p.s. don't make me come over there tooled up. It just seems unnecessary for a mid-week pint with some friendly cyclists.

@RJS - You look trance-like in your pic.

I see you opted to go sans-spectacles for the latter stages. Did the drop in wind resistance help you post a better time?

Well, I'm going for a pint at the Horseshoe Rolla.

HTFU Central!

aye, i'll hopefully be at East - late though, i'll be watching Rangers take on the Ruskies in the EUFA cup final.

Skullhead, Tommy, Tomasito - beers in the park or Horseshoe?

Horseshoe sounds good. Anyone else up for rolla + beer?

yep, no probs twoo - i'm sat at my computer til 5.59

eh ... [thinks] ... anywhere to lock up bikes there?

the more the merrier. people and beers.

+1 for Filthy McNasties. Keep it central, try out a new location.

I'm planning to be there at 6. If i'm on my own i'll do what i did at East Beers when i was stood up, and try to entertain myself remembering old jokes. Brilliant, what a laugh i had that night, honestly...

The sun is shining - a good reason for beers, as if one is needed. Is anyone planning a swift one at the Lamb after work?
