Let's do another one soon, maybe something a bit longer!

Thanks so much Clefty and Miss Socks for sorting out - I shall sport the spoke card with pride.

Definitely up for something longer and slightly pacier next time - and sorry I had to skip out on the beers after.

Does anyone want to arrange to meet-up for the ride in? I'll be coming in from Herne Hill/Brixton, leaving around 09.30 I guess? I'll probably be on the geared bike since the layer of dust its sporting means its overdue for some use...

Should have checked out the forum a little sooner this weekend! I'll be coming from HH - reckon I'll head up Brixton Road towards the river and then over Lambeth Bridge and up Whitehall... hopefully see you on the way! On a black track bike with green bar tape.

I've also noticed the women only beers next tag.... Sounds like a good idea!

I think this is an excellent idea!

This is such a nice idea - haven't met anyone from the forum yet. Looking forward to it.

RIP this is awful news, when will these HGV related deaths stop! I mean seriously, what can we do to help prevent this happening to more cyclists, maybe this isn't the place to bring this up, but i'm getting more and more angry and frustrated about all these seemingly preventable deaths that keep involving HGVS!

I don't understand why the frequency of these awful accidents isn't being picked up by the national media/high profile politicians at this point. RIP.

what i do is i write to my mp asking for safer streets / safer community etc.

it does make me feel a little better. like i am doing something. rather than doing nothing.

Somebody's point is a really good one - particularly people who live in the Camberwell and Peckham constituency (Harriet Harman MP).

There was a Bike Show podcast a while back about how the GLA are trying to tackle the HGV vs. cyclist issue, but clearly things are not moving fast enough...the more pressure we can put on our politicians about this, the better.

I'm looking for a 62-64cm steel, lugged frame for a geared project - or perhaps a complete bike. This is for my husband, who is a giant (6'5").

Anyone got one lying around/seen anything recently?

Thanks!

Yeah...summat about shorter top tubes and that kind of thing, isn't it?

I don't like "women's" bikes either. They always come in a putrid pearlescent pink or turquoise, as far as I can tell...

...so they're not even keeping the shop open in London? I think that's pretty sad.

I've got a Brooks B17S that I love. Have only had it a few months, but no breaking in issues and it has been perfect on my commute and longer weekend rides. Tis great!

How much are you looking to get for the Holdsworth frame? I'd be interested if it's still available.

Thanks both - wiganwill, you're probably right. Without doubt I wouldn't make it to both the Forest and the Carrefour in time :) I'll take your advice and aim to do the latter rather than the former, and I'll be sure to pick up a Michelin map of the area.

Can't wait!

I'm going to watch Paris Roubaix this year, and have decided to take the bike as renting a car is just nuts expensive. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and has any good tips of where to catch the race, logistics, recommendations... have found a few bits and bobs Googling around, but I don't really have much of a plan except buy L'Equipe on the day and try and end up at Le Carrefour de L'Arbre/Arenberg Forest...

Most Boots still stock twin packs.

Brilliant - I'm definitely gonna check it out. Thanks!

Are there many women who ride on the Saturday with Dulwich Paragon? I'm interested in giving it a go as I live local, but am not sure how I'd keep up if it's all blokes.

Cheers!

Has anyone actually had any wheels built by Sam? I live round the corner in HH and am going to need a replacement back wheel sooner rather than later...

Hi, I'm a girl, looking for a club (pref South London-based) that isn't out-and-out hardcore too...did you find one in the end? Any good/bad experiences to report back on?

Cheers!
