....all my spoons are bent like tyre levers too, guess I get new spoons some day too?

Tramps and the gang did a bit of home anodising when I was in the States. They used my favorite baking pan, I was sad, but then he bought me two new baby blue ones, and I was happy. Now I bake more and make twice as much so I'm pretty sure he would consider the anodising a success.
He also has shiny bars.

Anyone going to the Snow tonight? I'll be there fo' sure. It'd be nice to have the ladies present. Rumour has it, at least one of the TC's is racing tonight.....

Ok so does anyone have a drill?!? We lost ours...actually we've only lost the charger so bring a drill and matching charger and we could go drill crazy!! Are we building at mine?

What's going on this Sat ladies? I have heard conflicting plans, and I'm a simple girl, it's confused me....

might?!

[gasp]
There's only up from here...The only way is up....erm, eh...
[wow]
ummmm, ugh. hmmm....
We try really hard....we're hard workers....we know how to take a hit.... um, eek.

Well,
[sighs]
I got it!
"Clefty, you edited together the outtakes! you clever girl holding back all our magic moves..."
[relief]

Yeah, there we go! Maybe Trixie Chix Piss Up Round 3 is called for.
Let's get Lily drunk and make her ride on the wrong side of the road. ha!

winston my great grandad did...

it's an interesting phenomenon....but like all trends it has a time limit, plenty of people on here claim they're not into it because of it's current high coolometer rating....I can remember saying I'll be a punk forever... how long 'til ebay prices come back down as people move on to the next thing?

Hopefully there will still be a decent amount of human fixed wheel conversions after the exodus.

We have a long way to go before the "trend" dies. On top of that, hopefully it will be like skateboarding and slowly just become a thing that people do, and not a "dying trend that was stupid and dangerous" as people first thought.

And plus, you are still the most punk rock guy I know, so we are all good!!!!

I hadn't seen that before. I've never felt sorry for a langster before, but I actually feel bad for it. It's like a dog that the owner cuts it's tail and ears off when it's a puppy... Oh man!

I have pix up as well

Tramps and I went to the Eden Project for a cycling getaway. Looked up lots of sh*te about cycling around there and it looked great. Booked our B&B right on the SUSTRANS "cycle" lane that was made to take people in a sustainable way to the Project.

Got about 50 meters on to it and it turned to fist sized rocks. Not pebbles or gravel, friggin' rocks. Perhaps the odd Mountain biker would enjoy riding this path, but even Mr. Mountain Biker probably wouldn't want to ride it to get anywhere. Now obviously our track bikes weren't made for this, and someone could make an easy argument about us riding Cornwall on track bikes, but that argument doesn't really matter. The path was to get cyclists from point A to point B, and if you are SUSTRANS you should probably make sure that that means all cyclists. The only other vehicle we saw on the path was a motorbike/atv thingy.

We ended up having to back out and ride with cars around busy back roads and blind corners. The trip was roughly 6 miles and ended up taking Tramps and I over an hour and a half of getting lost, back tracking etc...

I complained to Eden Project about the lack of signage on the roads (there's a point to meet up again with the cycle path from the road for the last mile), and they said the council won't let them hang signs in the road pointing to the cycle path. Certainly it's worth SUSTRANS time to put pressure on them considering the amount of tourists that go to the Eden Project and it's sustainability stance (i.e. bikes = good)

I also complained about the so-called cycle path, they said that they too are disappointed and that it was a SUSTRANS project.

So between that experience and the absolutely insulting and dangerous cycle paths on the London roads I'm not really sure SUSTRANS understands what cyclists need.

To be considered a cycle path I would say it needs to have three main attributes; It won't destroy your bike, it takes you out of the path of danger, and you can get somewhere useful by riding it. I know that SUSTRANS were very proud to hit the 10,000 miles of cycle paths mark in 2005, but I know of lots of miles that they consider cycle paths that most people wouldn't.

However they are competing against the EDEN PROJECT'S THE EDGE Project, which sounds pretty frickin' cool, and is looking towards a sustainable way of living.......

50 Million is such an incredible amount of money and I think that it'd be amazing for that to go towards taking England's cycling forward. I may even vote for SUSTRANS but I would hope that they take a pretty huge step forward with it, because so far I'm really unimpressed.

The plans above look frickin lame besides the Westbourne/Paddington one (I hate riding around there).
And while I agree with Mr.Tom saying that whatever wins should be more national, I disagree that the plans should be about kids and casual cyclists. They can have the parks to peddle around in for fun. Cycling as commuting is imperative for the future of London. It needs to be taken seriously as a form of transportation and not as simply a fun thing to do on the weekends. Making a few pretty paths does nothing to make it safe and easy for Joe Bloggs to ride his bike everyday to work and to the shops.

Dr. Oblong, has an awesome point that the paths are already there, they are called roads, and drivers need to be given the rod when it comes to their terrible treatment of cyclists. It would be great if we could get with lots of the great cities in Europe and make completely separate paths for cyclists, cars, trams, and peds, but that takes revolutionizing how urbanites think about cycling first. Make it so that the average motorist understands that more cyclists means he can get to work faster in his car and you got your first fight won.

winston I ride a fixed wheel bicycle coz my dad did and his dad before him......it's not trendy, it's dangerous.

We know it's not your fault it's trendy, no one's blaming you, but oh it is trendy!! No point in denying that if a student from Preston (cause she can't be arsed to leave) is doing a project on it because her prof told her to do so. That's friggin' trendy.
My dad rides a bike, my grandpa rode a tractor.

Aw Shucks [blushes]

Hey All,
I was on the bike show last night. Didn't want to tell you guys ahead of time because then I'd know that you'd be listening and I'd be nervous. So shout outs to Bike Polo and Trixie Chix are here, under Fixed Fever:
