Your picture is soooo much nicer than anything I can take?! Anyway, Will do... tonight... (although currently moving so might not be near internet till monday...)

Hmmm, kid is 5, but sounds less balanced than your 4 year old...

Did you see the pictures of my bent toptube? I won't be at polo till my new frame arrives and I get my polo wheel trued... might be wednesday, but I'm not sure...

Cheers.

No, think pali-link might be discontinued... the one for £5 was missing bar grips, saddle, the clamp and had a bent crain-ring, hence being a fiver... think it had been used to scavenge parts to fix others...

Figured a bit of asking around or searching would find the parts we need (well only really need the clamp, the rest I've sorted out...) and would be a bargain (last listing I can find for one offers it at £89.99...)...

Next stop after here is CTC forum and free-cycle... failing that I'll have to bodge something...

I'f anyone's got another 23 (or bigger!?) I'd be interested?

By the way cavendish sell 22s too (but expensive) and I got a 22 from condor in their winter sale (for £15! Bargain) but not seen any more there since...

There may be two spare pairs for latecomers but I'm waiting on confirmation from mates, first dibs.

What colours are left?
I'd like a pair and work right between fenchurch and towerhill...

I'm kitted out like smallfurry... two front lights, at least two back lights (up to four depending on bike/backpack) and hi-vis/floro...

I don't wear it to be seen, I wear it for the same reason I generally don't go through lights or undertake, I don't want people to have any ammunition against me or cyclists in general.

If some fucker runs me over and kills me, I don't want a lawyer to be able to say it was in any way my fault...

Motorbikes in the bus/cycle lane?

Clubs large venues (as in Fabric, O2, brixton academy...)
unis (central St Martins, westminster, UCL...)?
Hospitals (big employers and lots of people visiting)
Market/shopping areas (borough, oxford street, harrods...)
Concentrations of commercial buildings (canary wharf, gerkin, lloyds)
bike polo courts?! :-)

I think your problem is going to be more of what to leave out... particularly centrally...

Has anyone cycled in malta?

Driving over there (albeit about 15 years ago... yes for those that know me, that puts me at 16... not having a driving license wasn't a barrier to renting a car) was close enough to suicidal...

Out of interest is it against the law to cycle while texting?

What about while trackstanding?!

As for the bent top tube, get it replaced or get a new frame. it's only 501

Dad's bike before me, so might hang it on the wall as art... (might have a replacement by tuesday! :-)

My golden rule is not to have anything you fear to lose or have damaged.

Bad rule.
What about girls you totally fall in love with? You never fear to lose them?

Maybe GS really meant his rule is to not buy anything you fear to lose or get damaged?

The things you own end up owning you and all that...

Could be worse:

Anyone have any thoughts on safety of bending it back?
(it's 30 year old 501)

Why don't they have cycle racks like buses I've seen in other contries?

Oh sorry that would require joined up planning about transport whereas we all know that cyclists are just cyclists, car drivers just drive and public transport users never get off and walk let alone cycle...

No, I vaguely remeber something about being the first to cycle the longest way across each continent... New Zealander (IIRC) also first person to cross the chaco in south america? (i remeber that because one of my friends has just come back from being the first person to do it solo or something...) some film on utube of him basically carrying his bike through the swamp (can't get on utube here at work)...

Oh and I drink cherryade :-)

I know someone with two legs of very different lengths, do you know where I can get 165/170 combination?

She also only likes to turn left so will help with pedal strike...

The bloke that did the round the world cycling record said Oz was the worst place he rode through for anti cyclist behavior.

The one that was killed by a hit and run in aus?

Ok, got a peice of crap from halfords (nothing unusual there...) for a £5!

It's a tag along type bike, except it's missing the clamp to attach to the seat post (and the saddle, but that shouldn't be too hard to find)...

I know the chances of anyone here being old enough to conceive of children are slim, but maybe one of you who works in a bike shop may have the bits for one lying around? Or be able to point the way to getting more bits or something to bodge a replacement (bodge being a loose term considering a 5 year's life may be at stake...)

Done a search and nothing came up... so no flames if this has been discussed before :-)

yeah, you should at least put a note on it in case the owner wants the bars back...

Was thinking smaller to make it easier to carry/store them... the ones above can be an arse to carry about...

I was thinking not much bigger than a step at downham...

Katt, I would imagine the same thing that happened to footballers that ran into those boards, you go arse over tit and find yourself on the other side... but similar things will happen with any barrier that isn't 6 foot...

like smaller versions of those in the foreground?

I have expeirienced not riding whilst broke (financially and skeletally) I can only assume that you idea comes out of never being forced off your bike... or you are a masocist and sadist (for doing it yourself and suggesting it to others)...

Scoota's idea is genius though... with the adition of signs on the cars with cyclists in (as it would be hard to tell the difference between cyclist enduced gridlock and the normal gridlock) I think it should be done...

Well the only time I would really be free would be 7th March or 4th April, so I say we stick with the 21st and I'll just have to try and tag along at some point.

Why don't you arrange another a month later at a date you can manage?

(before the calender get fulled up :-)

There's always enough people who want to do it again... plus those that haven't managed... plus the new members finding this forum...

plus it'll be basically summer by then so even nicer weather (probably)! :-)

I know how you feel, I wanted to do this ride, and the night ride to brighton... plus most of the other rides I see... plus drinks... I'm sure in time I'll manage them all... :-)

they should be designed as stackable / storable yet also playable.

So you want stackable, storable, flat boards (so they can be played off and don't have gaps)... aren't made of hay...

Is there a problem with the kind of advertising boards that used to line football grounds? Ie two bits of MDF with a hinge at the top and a cross peice to keep them stable?

Added bonus of being good for advertisers (cost of advertising could equal cost of building and painting one)?

If size was a prolem you could go for smaller ones (say a foot high) enough room for ads (it's not like the crowd is miles away at the top of a stand), wouldn't be too heavy... somewhere relatively local (BLB?) might let you store them there in return for a bit of advertising space?

I don't take it personally, Nothing like making a dick out of yourself on the internet ;)

easy mistake to make... but very funny and I'm sure it's happened to eveyrone here... defo to me...

take heart from the fact you've made a lot of people very happy :-)
