I love a suncnut burntry...

Don't tempt me :P

Mine has the sound turned off :(
It makes noise when I punch it though :)

lol :)

I love (some of) my bikes. My girlie. My 'puter. Booze.

That's because with so much rain here it's like being a gold fish :)

Deliveries do :)

Same as my favourite topic but things we love. I'll start..

I love "The things we hate" topic on londonfgss. :D

allyb: Do they have a Highly Skilled Migrant type visa in Canadia? With 10yrs in IT couldn't you wangle some kind of managment roll, senior blah blah to score points towards it. Salary-based visas? Do you earn loads? That kinda thing..

OT: I hate VISAs. Even more than that I hate filling out those stupid forms at the airport every time I leave England coz I'm a skip. I hate the fact that the line for the non-EU and non-UK passports takes 30-40min to move through. I hate traffic lights.

vegansdontneedgears the best fakenger i have ever seen bought a nextell raido phone and wore it straped to the shoulder pad of his chrome bag...

Now THAT is sad.

Damn.. now I'm getting paranoid about my little Dinotte 5w being sufficient. I'm NOT buying more!!! Must.. not... click.. CHECKOUT NOW.. ;)

buses that turn left from the right lane, blocking your path and forcing you to wait for the 3000 people crossing on the other side of oxford cirpus.

This is another Aussie who also happens to have a similar nickname - the fat hippy:

His site has a tonne of info for building cheap lights. Check it out.

58mi there? If that's the case I'm not riding back! My @rse will be mince meat after 30mi as it is..

Sure your name isn't mdMa? ;)

I've just ordered one of the saddle mounts.. will see how it goes.

velocity boy 40 miles isn't much at all. Fixed all the way.

It's alright for you custom-frame-boy ;-)
Actually, I have an idea.. seatpost mounted bottle cages ala triathletes. That would solve the hydration issue. Now all I need is a new spine..

For those with track bikes, without camelbaks, who like H20:

Who's riding back then? Ouch-a-roo.

My favourite was the Cateye Enduro 2 but it's not made any more and I lost it! :(
The new ones aren't so reliable I've heard. I use a Polar HRM these days although I'd love to get hold of an Enduro 2 for the fix (I still have the mounting bracket fitted)

I've got a PC. (someone had to do it!)

rkn The whole lights thing is holding me back from committing atm.

Do you have any lights? Could you borrow some? Buy some? Tell uncle hippy what's the issue with ze illumination?

Rattlebag probikekit.com usually has some good deals on tyres

I keep seeing stuff I'd buy from them and go through the checkout process and it scrwes up at some stage and I lose the order and give up. :(

aidan really i can....can anyone else????

Can now, must've been slow loading 'em is all.

I dunno, I grew up in the dessert. London may as well be Atlantis for the amount it rains here compared to home. I figured you'd all be used to it?

I'm interested.. could make change from weekly club run. Not sure about doing it on track bike though - I like my hydration..

Coming into summer there's probably a thousand other riders who've thought about giving it a go. One day a week? Um.. didn't know anyone would employ on that basis?

Oxford St. is fscked - why I see so many couriers riding down there I don't know. They're never going fast though so maybe it's a cafe run?
Suburbs also fcked - something about 3x more likely to get hit/killed in the suburbs? People are looking for cars, drivers are looking for cars, the road is for cars. You don't count in the 'burbs. You are invisible.
The quicker you realise you are invisible to everyone the less likely you will be taken down. That's why I have little qualms about wearing all black - drivers/peds wouldn't see me if I was a flaming ball of magnesium.
