yep not many out this morning. Some of the ones who were out never fail to suprise me though. People riding in a cotton t-shirt and shorts!! Saw someone in what must have been their work suit. What the hell are these people up to?

Well, I can tell you that Herne Hill has been absolutely packed the last 2 Saturday mornings. Possibly due to the British exploits at the Games. And there are more and more cyclists on the road, seemingly by the day

I am liking the look of those towels

I think it's great that top flight cyclists come down and are so approachable. Can you imagine Beckham, Lampard, Terry, Cole et al turning up for a kickabout? I know the money and the appeal is not in the same league but it's still truly inspirational and makes me really chuffed to be into cycling. Winspar, that's a pretty cool achievement for Rollapaluza - you guys should be stoked.

100% agree, it would never happen.

I can't believe that guy got up to full speed within 2 revolutions! Fantastic stuff

Provisionally sticking my name down.

But Object,

Did you not know that it is the famous people who have started this new bike craze.

I for one would be lost without these celebrities

^^^ Arrgghhh DIE CAPITALIST you should be ashamed Roberto ;)

I never noticed that Gordon Brown had that weird shit going on with his mouth. Since a work friend pointed it out to me, I am unable to actually listen to a word he says as I am too busy concentrating on when he is going to do that weird thing again. What a freak

^ Genius

But do you really believe that you, or I, or anyone, can really change the way things are? Of course, you can choose not to buy the scarf on moral grounds, and I can choose not to buy the scarf on account of it being ridiculously overpriced, and I don't need a silk scarf. However, there will be others that will buy it, regardless.

I believe the world is run by a select group of fuckers, who control literally everything. And although you may think you have a choice about whether or not to play by their rules. Ultimately you have no choice and nothing you do will change the way things are.

Except maybe a good riot like the poll tax riots. Now they were fucking great

There's enough people who care about me so I find that I don't have too. And if I don't have to worry about myself I have a lot more time to put into doing things about greater issues and this minimising the effect on others that I cause just by living a life that I never asked for.

Its only a scarf, at the end of the day. I am always surprised that people are so passionate about the problems in the world and get so worked up by them. I have a hard enough time just sorting myself out, let alone caring about a few worms.

The first comment after that article is pretty amusing

you can have it for less. Say £15. Its a quality sprocket, have a 19t of my bike at present
PM me if you are interested. I am in Shoreditch during working hours, but its at my house in North London at the moment

I have a nice machined Condor one brand new 17t 3/32 rrp £20

I know what you mean, I get kinda bored with it after about 20 mins.
Anyone meeting in Lambs Conduit Street before hand?

I am up for it this eve. Not staying for the whole thing it makes me angry but indeed in : )

I sure would. Looks a bit of a prude, but still, pretty fit

Whats going on in Fulham tonight. I am in the dark here

whats Bootsy Red Monsters birthday?

That is not in the spirit of LondonFGSS ;)

so how do you stop people cheating / shortcuts.

I know 'some' people might not do the entire course, especially the one shown.

even simply going the wrong way round parliament square saves 25 seconds.

you going tonight though Pip? I am. Gotta love those dossers

I have gone from 48-16 to 48-17 to 48-18 and now to 48-19. The switch from 48-18 to 19 was not by choice, but due to not having any other sprockets available. I have to say, it is doing absolute wonders for my cardio-vascular fitness, and there are no longer any hills in London that are that challenging. Coming down hills is a little hairy though. Having said that, I would not want to ride more than say 20 miles at a time on such a low gearing. 48-18 is ideal all rounder

Gives a chance for the soap dodging dossers to feel they are doing something useful

a load of us usually meet in the pub at the top of Lambs Conduit Street for around 6ish. It doesnt usually get going until gone 7

I agree, I cant see it being a problem. Sod Richmond Park, too far and too boring

Why not start at Admiralty Arch, down the Mall - Right at the top down Constitution Hill towards Hyde Park Corner, bear Left ( can jump lights ) Down Grosvenor Place, through the one-way system into Victoria Street. Left at Parliment Square onto Birdcage Walk, right at palace, back down the mall and end at the start.
