Are so you are going there first sorry slow on the uptake.

I would still have gone via Dieppe as the riding is great once you get to France but riding to Portsmouth from London is not nice the A3 should be steered clear of and finding paralell routes is difficult. Hampshire's nice though

Is anyone going tonight? I've got a flat to paint so won't venture further South if no one is coming

What time do people get to SE drinks? Thought as I have now moved South to Rotherhithe I might come tonight

Hmm don't like 29ers myself they always look so heavy and gross

Well it is before the Paralympics also they timed to arrive after the Olympics as the ride is not about the Olympics as such but about world peace.

If you are going to Paris why are you going via Portsmouth? Newhaven-Dieppe is a much more pleasant route and there is a marked bicycle route all the way from Dieppe to Paris.

The August show of the Hackney Bicycle Film Society will be the cult BMX movie Rad whose reputation has only be enhanced by its extreme rarity having never been released on DVD and only released as a video in the states. Although it bombed commercially this film had a significant impact on the BMX scene and contains some amazing freestyle riding scenes and wonderful cheesy 1980's bits.
Released in 1986 and directed by Hal Needham, "Rad" charts the meteoric rise of a BMX riding paper boy named Cru Jones, who through hard work and determination, rises up to beat national BMX race pros on a track dubbed "Helltrack." The film additionally featured freestyle riding and acting parts from major BMX race and freestyle pros, including Eddie Fiola, Martin Aparijo, Danny Millwee, Kevin Hull, and Mike Miranda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2cv5XICbgg&feature=relmfu

A video review can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FF4_5DmJGE

The evenings shorts will include videos of and by people from the current British BMX scene.

Lopes clearly had not learnt because he went out and did it again and tried to cover it up.

BQ is right it is a matter of education and you can see that has worked in France 30 years ago that was a terrifying place not only to cycle but to drive now Paris has no cycling deaths.
