I just ride whichever way I need to go. I mind out for pedestrians and get out the way when I see a car coming. Surely it's that simple, and no one needs to spend a load of £ on green paint and signs?

depends how much u ride. when i was a fakenger a rolls did me fine, since becoming a messenger i started using a selle italia split gel flow flite and i couldnt recommend it because the exposed stitching has ripped through 3 pairs of trousers and is wearing me thin down below if you know what i mean...

I was starting to think it was me. Ever since I crashed my ride and replaced the seat, stem and bars, I haven't been able to get comfy...and that was last Summer. I bought a few cheay saddles and eventually splashed out on a Brooks Flyer. It's ok but the problem persists. Anyone got any suggestions? My rear is pretty ample but I never need a fat-boy seat before. Is there any mathematical trickery to help me make sure my angles are all correct or do I just need to keep wasting money on seats that hurt. PLEASE HELP!!

GOD DAMN, that's some bullshit. I feel a fixie vigilante mission coming on. We could get some bmx-bandit-esque shenanigans on the go.

Seriously, that's awful mate. Hope your recovery is speedy. A broken pelvis is no joke. You should start a recovery blog.

Sorry...that was for Basil. But cheers J. I feel like a fraudster, posting when my bike's in the shop. I'd love to just say I'll come of for the next beers, but alas I must wait for Kona to stop farting about. The guy at Evans says they SHOULD be sending my frame out tomorrow...so prob won't see it till next week. Am reduced to driving to work....albeit carefully, checking wing mirrors at least 3 times before turning and staying out of cycle lanes :O) )

Don't spend a load of £ on your first bike. You'll only realise that lots of stuff annoys you about it and you can't afford to rectify any of it :O) )

That IS funny shit

Didn't fall over the 1st time but after a few days I did pull up outside the Boots/ Superdrug at London Victoria (CANED AS FCUK)
...thought about leaning up against the window, clipped in, but misjudged the distance and fell in a heap, still clipped when I hit theground....
.....in front of Friday's last-train-home-after-a-night-on-the-lash crew.

Clearly all the ladies who had previously been queuing up to offer themselves to me (in my head) were now giggling or looking sympathetic towards the poor, intoxicated, over-confident cyclist twat.

Thank you TIME, THANK YOU!

Been lurking and not posting myself. Now taht I got the chance to write something I managed to fcuk it up....wrote a long post an dthen got logged out and lost it :O(

http://www.mud-dock.co.uk/ is good. In case of Emergency, check Evans down on the Horsefair. Bike, on University Row (oppo Habitat) always did me alright back in the day, and there's a semi-decent place at the bottom of Park Street. If you're coming down the hill, it's on the left, just before the steps onto Forgmore Street. Used to be called Bike Tech but not sure if it is now.

Hope that helps

Yeah, fcuk a cycle lane. They're usually full of pot holes and glass anyway. Sod ripping up £20 worth of tyre and ton of wheel I'm at it.
