Hmmm, how many members (other than the obvious; landrover and halfords) have larger car concerns than bike?
-
Lovely pictures Grow-up... if you don't mind I'm going to attach them to an email and send them to everyone I know with a little explanation?
It is a wonder about the cycling ads, why isn't there a cycling marketing board (like the milk marketeding board... "acrighton stanley, who are they?!" "exactly"[1]), a clongomeration of bike companies and retailers advertising why cycling is good and how the health benifits outweight the safety fears?

To tell the truth, if the wheel was ridable or if I could swap the cogs over... I'd be at polo, heamatoma/possible fractured ulna or not...
But it appears the first wheel I bought (very cheaply, which I'm currently riding) had the cog and lockring glued on! and I'm not playing 42x16 again...
-
This time I'm staying to see if I've qualified!!!
And not going to polo (although it helps that I've taco'd my polo wheel... and injured my elbow)...

Why'd they arrest him after they'd checked it over with an "explosives dog"? FFS?
"Safety of the traveling public is our first concern," said Greaud... surely once the bike checked out as not being a bomb that was sorted?!
Why specifically the travelling public? (is he trying to suggest he doesn't give a fuck about the cyclist? or airport workers?)

Babe made me cry. I didn't like how they were mean to the old man.
Bambie, went to see it in the old wimbledon theatre which had a balcony (about 20 something years ago now)... the people below must have thought it was raining...
Not much of a confession though... better one is that ET gave me nightmares... someone got me the picture book of the film and I couldn't touch it, because it scared me so much...

2 this morning...
Ali of los conos and bbc "polo taught me to HTFU" fame on clapham going the opposite direction to me...
And someone on one of the cleanest looking (as in simple not just lack of dirt) track bikes going over london bridge at about 8.35... kinda beige? Lovely bike...

Oh come on, if he looks around at other threads he'll work it out...

it's on private property.
both local councils and lottery give money to improve private property, you just need the consent (and possibly signature) of the owners...
Hmmm, would that be a problem?
-
Has anyone thought of applying to the local council?
They'll often give grants (usually matching other sponsership) also lottery?
It's lots of forms, but might be worth it...

dude, it is a very good idea to buy or get hold of some decent lights. the condition of some of the roads is pretty poor at the moment and relying on other lights is too risky for yourself and other riders. put the word out on the forum to see if you can borrow some. you need a powerful front light but ordinary rear lights are fine.
that is not to say that you aren't more than welcome on the ride. look forward to seeing youOk, will probabably wait until I have some better lights then.
(also going on too many rides for the other half so the one's I'm least prepared for are probably the best to drop :-)

Will take a photo of the one in tooting on my way into work... assumign I remeber my camera...
-
As I said in the spotted thread, saw the one in tooting this morning, basically made me well up (the male version of crying! :-) for about a mile of my commute...
-
I'm happy I actually managed to get the tyre off..... it was a B1TCH though !...... but that's.... what ?..... 2 or 3 nil to me now... re those wheels !!!

I am officially weaker than a girl :-)By the way you can actually write bitch here with no fear...
But if you try writing a post all in caps or empty, it won't bealowed :-)

I'd like the frame and straight forks... but can't afford it till next month... if you've not sold it by the 27th pm me...
-
Would like to make it, lights not that great though (usual catseye types...) can I just follow and use the light from others?
I only live 10 miles from effingham junction... so might cycle home depending on how fast you guys go...?
(I guess cycling there would be silly? I recon I could make it to effingham for 8 easy, although it would mean I'd have done about a 90 mile day.... hmmm)
-
Is this still for sale?
-
A new ghost bike on the corner of blackshaw road and "the northern line road" in tooting...
Don't know about anyone else, but it had quite an effect on me this morning.

My girlfriend trying to take my wheel to be repaired in her lunch break makes me happy...

andyp: Well, last year waterloo bridge did qualify as hill in my books ;)
Was talking to one of the cyclists at work about the hills i do on my commute (nothing massive, just balham and one in stoneleigh, which feels massive as it's at the end of my commute) and he seriously mentioned how hard going over tower bridge was! FFS!
I built my fixed in Seattle... they've got proper hills out there...
-
Good god. That's fast...
He's not coming to the next brass monkey is he?!

Sucks to have missed this... you going to do souths every other saturday then?
Is there going to be one after the memorial ride?
