I think that's a really nice simple idea for a little video. Especially when the rabbits just ffommph out from behind her the first time.

I usually shout 'Get some gears you twat' or 'They make gears for bikes nowadays you know'.
In the nicest possible way, what are you doing on a fgss forum?
Has it not occurred to any of these people that frequently pedalling at the wrong cadence, using excessive pedal pressure and generally straining in the wrong gear, does serious knee joint, tendon, ligament, cartilage and muscle damage?
I imagine that, having realised that it could be a potential issue, they've done considerable reading into the issue, perhaps consulted a couple of independant sources, and then made a balanced and informed decision. Just as they do with their haircuts...

Minor thread hijack - For the past 3-4 months I've been getting stabbing / shooting pains around my sacrum and out across my buttocks towards the hips / down the backs of my legs (not so much up into the lower back). The pain shifts around quite a lot, switches between sides and some days hardly seems to be there at all. It's particulaly excruciating after laying on my back (ie in the park), even for short amounts of time.
I'm doing 100-or-so miles a week, doesn't seem to make it any worse. Nor does it seem to improve if I do less. I've read a few threads about cycling and how it can leave your adductors/abductors underused, so I'm trying to build them up at the moment, but I'm not really sure if this is the route of the problem.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? It sounds similar to the sort of thing being discussed here...

Can't make it this evening. Boo. A Gus abscence should really be capitalised on...

50x17 would be suicidal. I think most of the TNRC are riding a gear around the 70" mark. I spin for the win and ride 48x19, which is around 66".
Thanks for the advice; leg implosion averted...

Great stuff! Any guidance about GI, aside from the length of a piece of string? I usually ride 50x17 through the city and I find that pretty comfortable, but it's usually flat where I'm riding. Does that sound like suicide?.. I just haven't been up a hill in a while :)

I can't bake for shit; I may impress upon my housemate to help me rustle up some power flapjacks on the bank holiday. Don't ask me what the power implies just yet...
This may be a bit of a schoolboy question, but do people tend to ride these geared or fixed?

saw some of you lot, was working with st john ambulance near canary wharf station. was mighty jealous.
Was that you that shouted 'LondonFGSS - Go Onnn!!' or something like that?
in particularly the other 5 who bombed it through the WHOLE route, I'm glad only the five of you saw me nearly get KOed by the oncomming lorry.
One of the highlights of the ride. I can still feel the looming doom of that lorry and your general pinkness in front of it :)

Nice photos Leo - can you upload a higher res photo of the group shot somewhere?

Buzz you sneaky bastard, did you make it along embankment? We got diverted by the imminent commencement of the wheelchair race...

Bagels bagels bagels. Me too. Provided my alarm clock proves effective at that time in the am.

Torrents for MAH, essential mixes, pretty much every decent radio show and recorded mixes. No commercial theivery. Get on it :)

More good shit from Joker.
Also check the new Martyn album out this week. Picked it up from Phonica and it's tasty.

He also shows himself up by stereotyping different kinds of journalists--those two dashes are pretty much the most elementary mistake anyone thinking about punctuation can make.
It's how you write an em dash when you can't find the em dash key.

I don't know how any of us manage to ride while drinking tea.

I had exactly the same problem with a new pair of Dominators just before christmas - got to the point where I could hardly walk for a couple of weeks, had to get off the bike altogether. I'm pretty sure that the problem was the high ridge / indent thing that runs down the outside of the shoe, combined with me being a bit over-zealous with tightening.
I got some Super-feet insole inserts from Blacks, they seemed to work a treat - gave me a much flatter surface on the sole of the shoes, only problem was the shoes didn't fit so well as a result (couldn't get much of the ratchet bit into the mechanism). I rode around like this for a month or so (after waiting for the initial pain to mostly go away), then took the superfeet out to find that they'd actually flattened out/widened/done something to the shoe beneath them, so now I'm back to just the Dom's, but they fit much better and I'm totally pain free.
Not the most scientific of approaches I'm sure, but that's what worked for me :)
Hope this helps...

Is this the second fatality in the same day?
This was yesterday afternoon, but yes, two in 24 hours. Not Good. Not good at all.
