Is there a prize for the slowest, or heaviest?

I can eat more you know.

I've been training for this one since before any of you were born.

you're just jealous as it's difficult to pose with a Glider.

When you have a Glider, you don't need to pose. It feels so good that you really don't have to worry how you look - which is why it suits this fat bastard.

I am naturally biasaed against Evans and CycleSurgery. I have to say, however, that I had a very good experience at CycleSurgery in Holloway Road last Saturday. The manager there is a very decent fellow.

Sounds more like the transportation of minors over State lines....

I crave dopage on our RP training rides....

Au contraire! We have them in the US, and we certainly don't pronounce them the British way. That said, not all Americans would probably call them a 'zebra crossing' anyway. To be fair, most Americans can't be arsed to walk anywhere in the first place!

Only in some States and they are generally given a quaint name such as "Ped-Xing". That is pronounced "ped-exing" and not "zebra" .

;o)

Of course. Unless you're in the US or anywhere that pronounces the word 'zebra' differently.

Now that is where you are wrong. Zebra crossings are British and require British pronounciation.

At Cyclefit, you need cash to flash but it is more about riding the very best and they are keen to enthuse you and are extremely helpful and make even the most humble cyclists (like me) feel part of their community. Mosquito are very pleasant and helpful, even if one is only buying spare inner tubes. Condor is, like their bikes, are all about posing and not much about cycling.

That's where I must have gone wrong. Personally I wouldn't give money to the rather snottish mob in there. Mosquito, Cyclefit or one of the small independents welcome customers.

This link about Belisha is very interesting. A decent and far sighted man wronged by evil men.

How does one qualify to be served in Condor?

More pedantically, he was the Minister of Transport when they were introduced. "Belisha beacons" is the name givcen to the orange lollipop-like beacons which ar epositioned either side of zebra crossings. Zebra crossings are so called because they are black and white like zebras (pronounced zebras not zebras as the Americans do). No idea why pelican crossings are so called.

Remember always that approximately 5% of drivers in London have never taken a driving test. A similar number are uninsured. Don't expect drivers to know, still less obey, the rules of the road.

Big as she is, Jade Goody can't sort herself out.

I am taking my road bike in for service today and so rode it into work. First time in over three months that I have ridden a bike with a free wheel and gears. Bloody scary. It keeps moving even when you stop pedalling.

More than my wife knows.

Littigator, you know that Rollapaluza is actually the club for you. Do the decent thing and join.

daccordi, I was the fat slow one. Ride anti clockwise and you will catch me. I am normally too out of breath for a chat but you can do the talking ;o)

I've seen you all a few times in Richmond Park on Saturday mornings.

Not all of us, no more than half a dozen each week so far. Do say hello next time.

Look at British cycling for a full list.

London Phoenix, San Fairy Anne, numerous others.

London Dynamo is the largest and is thought to be less friendly than the smaller clubs but it will depend on your own perception.

Rollapaluza is by far and away the jolliest, has the nicest kit and is the most relaxed. Although formal club runs are a rareity, join and organise one.

Very happy for you. Good work.

Reno 911 is the best and most accurate account of American policing.

A "quart" is a close American approximation for a litre.

Not so slippery tonight but there were two drivers who, quite independently, tried to take me off while I was rding at speed along Commercial Street/Old Street by suddenly changing lane without looking. I am afraid that after a particularly nasty, vicious 12 hour day at the office, I let loose with some fairly choice and profane language on both occasions and did not take into account the fact that the drivers may themselves be having a hard time at work and might be driving home to ugly and unpleasant wives or to a sad and lonely existence (when I at least have the comfort of cycling home to a wonderful wife.)

Sorry, if you read this.
