That's not Jeremy. It's my friend Andy.
Probably for MH overall but not happy with it's implementation...

I ve some thing vintage but with a seized seat post. It should fit.

I think you have hit two nails on their heads.

In other news- its the Lea Valley CC Hill Climb on the 1st November

It's a ride up Mott Street in Epping Forest- Do any of the WF readers fancy coming
The event starts at 10 am.

To be fair to MH's marketing they have used pictures of people who look like they live in our corner of NE London.

Not sure what you are saying here or perhaps its my bad syntax

The Green School is Walthamstow School for Girls , a secondary school. Both my daughters are alumini
Its on the edge of the Village..
Even as things stand it's ok to cycle to. My girls could have done from Whipps X. Neither of them did
There is not a cycling culture amongst their peers. Cycling is just some that their dad bores them with.

If I have had a point in my posts it's been about creating a culture of cycling in Waltham Forest. It's what you do to get some where, it need not define you.
You can build all the infrastructure you want but it probably won't create a cycling culture.
Bike shops at the Bakers Arms and on Hoe street selling cheap but decent utility bikes might make help create a Waltham Forest bike culture..
And so might cycling lessons at Leytonstone school , the Green School and Connaught girls

Thank you Oliver for reminding us that in the end it's always about the economy.

It is bigger than cycling - its about making Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow and Whipps Cross better places to live and work in for all of their residents and all of their communities...

Simon, I d agree it's settling down and the traffic is flowing.

However, the battle for hearts and minds is being lost. I can not get my hair cut or shoes mended without hearing about bloody MH. There is also , I am afraid some truth in the Tarquin stereotype of the village.

To be honest, apart from the LCC and the LVCC there's not yet much utilty cycling in the borough. It would be interesting to know how many of our cyclist's moved to e10/e17 in the last 2-3 years.

Unless we revive utility cycling in the borough; for example, few Green School girls ride to the school, then I fear we are creating another Stevenage.

Yes, that's why I am not sure you read it...

Perhaps calling them swivel eyed fuel addict loons is not helpful to the cause . That's my barber and my cobbler whose sanity you are questioning..

Just in case you had any doubts, I do support Mini Holland. I rather wish it was not called that

Ah, the view from zone 1 and 2 and the demographic to match
I am not really sure if you have read the article.
It's certainly not what we see in E10 and E17.

Actually, have any of you read Dave Hill's article? It makes many a useful but uncomfortable point.

Of course not, though doing nothing should always be an option.

My point is that the objections to Mini Holland should be listened to.

Extra, that sounds like a cervical bulge/ herniated disc.

The MRI should tell the GP what it is- but if you have pain radiatimg down your arm and it's severe then it's probably that. I have C6/C7 one
The MRI should diagnose it. You should only need the one.
The good news is they should get better - Google the diagnosis , there's lots of good advice about this . Have you been given Mckenzie exercises yet
Oh and don't be afraid to take the tablets- What are you on at the moment?

There is some truth in this

Dr Rachel Aldred, I think, has made a similar point. Have a look in the August/ September CTC magazine.

There's not too much "utility " cycling in WF, It is mostly blokes in lyrca.
That includes me

It was , the Architect's practice that is.

Which Labour sort of tried to do with "In place of strife" at the end of the 60s and less obviously in the late 70s.

The unions and parts of the party blocked it.

The Unions were short sighted but don't exclude the hopeless management of parts of british industry from responsibility for the failures of the 60s,70s and 80s

Ah, I see your problem, but give them a call

Or, see if there's a jumble coming up near you. There's usually a stall selling such odds and sods.

They are also on sale as St John street bikes..

To help with the sizing; a 57 tt , and I assume that's the actual , vertical TT, means is should be a medium 5ft 7-9"
You need a longer TT with wider bars or you bum hangs off the edge of the saddle..

Tommmmmm

Did you get in?

I ask as the club chairman - I'll probably be marshalling.

Or you could join Lea Valley- pm me if interested..

There are rumours that the E2s days are finally numbered, not next year but possibly 2017.

I can't say that I agree with the owner of Finamore-

However, I do know him and his business is furnture, it's now a pain for it to be delivered when the road is closed.

Politics-

The whole Orford Rd /Village arguement detracts us from the potential benfits MH should bring to the borough- I think a one way and traffic calming would have won some of them over...

Mind you , we need a few more bike shops...

I know the owner, he has a point...

The Orford road closure is not totally necessary - the same effect could have been achieved with a one way and traffic calming.

The fuss over Orford Rd and Walthamstow Village may derail the project as a whole...

I am also slightly worried that some of the cycle paths @ Whipps X might just be shared pavement space.
