"hi my name is terry,
im selling my beautiful bike"

haha

yea, there's that post about a guy going into blb and asking them about converting this bike he had with him into fixed gear. they said it would be £250!!
basically all you nead to do is buy an old racer, tear off all the gear shit and stick a new wheel on the back. When you're ready for your next bike you can start worrying about chainline and take it to the next level

+1 what ed said

i grew up in kent, lots of phlegm[B][/B]

yea i think you can buy a deep front only from them for about £10

i'm so sorry for your loss velcro, this is truely sad.
when the time is right i'd really like to be involved in something constructive
memorial ride, HGV safety campaigning or whatever.

couldn't agree more with you oliver, the 'rule' thing was ment to be taken with a pinch of salt

I was cycling down Guilford Street this afternoon when a car door opened into me. I’d read somewhere that you should cycle one metre away from parked cars to avoid this sort of situation, and this was pretty much what i was doing. However, I don't know if I was just inside 1 metre or the car had a long door (it was one of those estate cars) but one metre really isn't enough. Thankfully the door only clipped my pedal and I landed on my hands and feet.
The driver was quick to get out and was very apologetic, saying that he was simply not paying attention and was even a cyclist himself. I was a bit shocked but as there was no damage to my bike and the driver seemed to be having some sort of emotional breakdown I decided to leave as I didn't really have anything to say to him.

I now have a new rule. Cycle 1.5 metres away from parked cars, never closer.

I’ve been cycling in London for a couple of years now and have been incident free until three weeks ago. I was on my way to work when a pedestrian ran out into the road, there was just no time to stop and I went straight into him. I flew over the handlebars my chin slammed into his head and I landed on my arm.

I’m not the most experienced of cyclists but I'm not a total noob either and try to ride safely, never compromising my personal space nor that of other peoples and communicating my intentions at all times. What made this encounter strange though was that I wasn't cycling near the pavement, I was cycling on the white line between the two lanes - a whole lane away from the pavement. This guy ran out so far that there was nothing I could do, he looked at the last moment but it was just too late. I wasn't even cycling fast!

The bike was fine (piece of shit anyway) but I had 5 stitches in my chin and my upper arm was badly bruised and useless for a couple of days. I took a week off from work in total. I've thought about compensation but the guy was badly hurt, in addition to the injury sustained during the actual collision he was knocked backwards and banged the back of his head on the ground. The actual incident itself is a bit of a blur but I do remember immediately after it happened I rolled off my side and shouted over 'are you ok?', he screamed 'no, I cant move'.

Thankfully he did start moving again after a couple of minutes but his head was bleeding in two places and was really baadly shaken up, it was an ambulance ride for both of us.

I'm really grateful to roxy's accident thread as I'm prepared legally but I'm not going down the compensation route. I guess the story is that you can't really ever have enough space in london. Today 1 metre wasn't enough but three weeks ago i had a whole lanes worth and that still wasn't enough.

haha

True bike mechanics are a special breed. It requires decades of dedication, enthusiasm and painstaking attention to detail. With very little reward.

The best bike mechanics are the really old fellas who know the past 80 years of component history in and out.

They can install & fine tune gears in a few minutes, even if they are basic bottom end sis found on £40 mtbs. they wont frown upon you, they will make it work and charge you a friendly price.

They have a back room of projects like home made tandems & recumbents. They know how to solder custom brake cabling and improvise custom fixtures as necessary.

They can effortlessly strip and rehaul hub gears, and have crates full of spare parts.

They also know how to fit pram wheel tyres, like those you find on penny farthings.

Aswell as being able to efficently service & tune hydraulic forks and brakes.

They are indeed a rare & special breed.

reading this made me really happy. good post

i worry about this idea that classical = music to relax too (fucking classic fm)
