Saw a French team car in Deptford with their posh bikes on top of the bmw estate last night while riding home. They seemed lost.

18 minute laps. I might have to rethink joining you in the intermediates training at HHV this weekend.

Thanks Chalfie
heads for the Pollution Masks thread

I figure it must be better for my long term health to be a fit cyclist and expose my lungs to the Big Smoke than to get fat. Thanks for the link.

Sorry if I missed it but are the findings public somewhere? Just how bad for me is that huge pipe blowing particulates from the back of the No. 9 Routemaster?

The clear outcome from allowing motorcycles into bus lanes is that that they ride faster, have more crashes and the injuries are more serious.

Sorry haven't looked but are there statistics to show this? I know motorbikes in bus lanes was trialled but I thought the results were debatable?

To me it would be something else to clutter the house and gather dust. Of course Mrs Pharoah would call me out for unbuilt bike frames cluttering the house ... One's clutter is another's treasure innit.

Wow. I think she had to pay £200ish.

A friend of mine carried the torch for her 300 meters and paid the money to keep it. Funnily enough, after you are done they decommission the torch and make it impossible to re-light, ensuring there are no wanna-be torch bearers galloping about.

+1 gumwalls and better lock. Otherwise nice.

The rules in post #1 say the tag should be between the north and south circular roads, and there seems to be some stretching of that boundary recently (though I don't know where this one is it sure seems pretty rural). I appreciate there is some flexibility, but where do the boundaries lie? Sorry if I missed some clarification of this in the middle of the thread.

What size clips are you using? Also, what shoes? IT sounds like you are wearing running shoes, and if so yes, the rough/studded treads on the soles will get caught on the edges of the pedals (and they also are very wide). Maybe try a smoother-soled shoe? I have about the same size foot, use MKS Sylvan track and L size MKS clips with these shoes:

and have no problems (above is the Quoc Pham fixed shoe).

I have been surprised yesterday and today at the lack of traffic. That said, last night on way home encountered lots of horrible undertaking of left turning vehicles, etc.

bad cyclists thread and all >>>>

A Clockwork Orange was filmed in Thamesmead.

Get out early. Fewer people out and temperature when I left the house was 16 degrees. Perfect.

I had been assuming the rim is screwed but will put another tyre of same size on and see what happens. I really don't want to spend to have a new wheel built just because some stupid ped can't be bothered to look before stepping into the road.

Cycling into Greenwich today, merrily filtering on the right, one of the white van men stuck in the queue decided to U-turn without looking, almost wiping me out.

Yes this happened to me too. Be careful out there people, I can feel the road rage building already. Drivers racing to get ahead to the next tailback. Not looking where they are going, etc.

So I had an accident 10 days ago, and it has become clear that my front wheel is slightly out of round. It spins true, but seems to have developed a bulge that rubs the underside of the front brake in at least one spot (very small clearance since it's a short drop DA 7400 caliper on a track fork). I think I know the answer but does this mean I need my front hub to be rebuilt on a new rim? Or is there another fix? (the wheel is 32h HF Phil Wood hub laced 3x to Velocity Deep V rim). I tried to UTFS but didn't see an obvious answer. Thanks

^^ Dicki, I was on my bike, filtering on the right and happy as Larry...Beautiful morning!

The one-way system through Greenwich started overnight. Even at 6 a.m. as I left for work the tailback was 1/2 mile, along the full length of the Norman Road trying to make it from Greenwich High Road to Creek Road.

Stunning.

I found the constraint of 8 useful, you really have to decide what is must-have.
