Critical Mass is a 50KM ride? JEBUS!

Nah. We'll be onto the next fashion by then... wheel chairs with aerospokes or something.

Yeah... white page... that was my fault :)

Fixed now :)

I just added a really weird bit of code designed to speed up the rendering of the page in your browser.

It appears to be working, but I'd like to know if anyone sees any bugs from this point onwards.

Doesn't look like they'll be much wind at all.

We just have light rain to deal with.

Looks like I need to get some overshoes of some kind.

Jon, you're going along? If so... I'll be there too.

Found it :)

Shite, I'm not sure on my number... off around 6am > 6.15am with all of the London Dynamo's.

I'm sure we have a discussion on this already... I'm going to use that search thing.

If you're fixed I'd take that rear brake off.

That's a gorgeous bike that, must have set you back a pretty penny. All titanium? Chris King too, plus Reynolds forks, Ritchey seat post... aah, one London Dynamo bottle ;) You can spot us by the fact that we spent insane amounts on insane bikes :)

You doing the Etape this Sunday too? If so you can nurse me to the line. My training went to hell this last week... ooops!

The non-uniform is the uniform!

Woah.

Seriously though, club rides in matching lycra, now there's uniform. Call the style police! MEN IN TIGHTS!

Nah, I haven't called it in yet... add yourself by quoting the list with your name added.

I didn't think most of us were SW. Actually I didn't check, just went on the hunch that most forum members were North and East. Ah well :)

Lorries highlight cycling danger

The dangers posed by lorries to cyclists and pedestrians are to be highlighted in a road safety event.

Two lorries will be parked in Trafalgar Square, central London, to allow other road users to see first hand how limited a lorry driver's vision is.

Metropolitan Police figures show that in 2006 nine cyclists were killed in London in accidents involving lorries.

The two-day event this week follows a campaign launched in March urging lorry drivers to look out for cyclists.

Ch Insp Mark Bird said: "Lots of people cycle in London and I'd encourage people to come along and see first hand just how easy the cause of these types of collisions can be and how easily avoidable they are.

"I have witnessed first hand the devastating affects that losing a loved one or family member can have, and we are determined to do all we can to reduce the risks to cyclists, and all road users."

In 2006 19 cyclists were killed in collisions - nine of which involved a goods vehicle.

The year before 21 cyclists were killed, nine involved lorries and in 2004 four of eight accidents in which cyclists were killed involved lorries.

You see? If we just understood how little visibility they have, we'd not be in their way. Why didn't I think of that? It's oh so obvious really.

Can you not contact them and explin these are second-hand used parts? You might have to declare this in writing, but worth doing to save the £80.

Easier to add yourself and not make it than the other way around.

Add yourself.

slamm yeah, that was a good night,
Top ride home, highlight was probably going the wrong way round Piccadilly Circus (nice one dt!) and some guy shouting out his window "What are you, from another country or sumfink!?"

Shit, I forgot you guys did that!

Almost as good as my nearly sliding under a bus on the way to Hyde Park Corner.

All just to discover... no bats out to play.

(no)

sulks

She's nothing. I had 10 as good as her last night.

Fab :)

allyb I'm coming along, but I've signed up independently so no need to take any of your places. I'm riding from the Walthamstow start but would be nice to meet some fokes at the viewing area.

You can choose to come with us if you want. The whole point of taking names is to remove duplicates from their system. So if you want to ride in with us, meet us at the Camden place and let us know now :)

So far... get your place requests in by lunch please.

A fun night. And we didn't even getthat drunk, which is a shame really, but at least we were able to show ms. ulty a good time anyway (that's what it was right?).

Really loved the ride home. I've never managed to skid a front wheel whilst cornering before, let alone recovered. I think I left a stain in my shorts around South Kensington.

I'll leave in 15 and it should only take 20. So... before 6 easily.
