Not TwinRails. They make a fucking cool sound on a rain covered road... but that's where their wet weather capabilites end. Despite the appearance of tread, this appears to be so symmetrical and non-directional that it's really no different from a slick.

mmmmmmmm, textbook execution. Drink it in. Get none of this contortion with bland right-handers.

Anyone know what causes this weird way of writing left-handed people do? Is it because we write left-to-write or are their brains just wired to make everything really difficult?

Ps. Left-handed people are vastly inferior to righties. There are numerous fictional reports to prove this. Don't give me no 'But Napoleon/God/Marie Curie/Churchill was left-handed' shite.

I'm pretty sure that left-handed scissors are a genuine item because they would be ergonomically different. Not so much the left-handed rolling pin though.

Nice refurbishing, kitchen and living room look great!

I have absolutely no idea how I missed this thread. One of the best.
Hope you (and indeed the Pitlock) are alright, Brother!

One of you lot on a lovely Rossin lo-pro bouling past me in Kennington about 8am and a not so lovely, brakeless, freewheeled mountain bike conversion locked-up in Norwood. Ahhh.

Re: Cannondale replica.
I was indeed referring to the Low. Looking at it now it's not that alike the Track really is it, certainly not like the Peliowhatzzit. Still, I seem to recall reading that the guy who makes them was 'inspired' by them a lot. There are definitely similarities. As it goes I actually quite like them built up. Not for the money though. /hipster

Ps. Please stop posting these raw metal/carbon/stealth bikes, they're killing me to death with boredom.

That Pelizzoli is ridiculously tasty though since that's the second company making a replica frame I've seen in the last couple of weeks it makes me wonder why Cannondale haven't just started making them again?!

Haha, yeah- I totally agree except what I'm saying is.. she didn't really do anything bad.
She slowly changed lane after looking over her shoulder. (It was actually the bus lane/road split where the traffic lights swap priority as well so really if he was paying any fucking attention he would've anticipated that people would move over.)
Anyway, I wasn't affected by her manouvre, only the chump riding too quickly towards her was.
I'd love to see his reaction to an under-taking, blind-fury, lane-swapping, panic-braking type of rider if that's how he reacts in the face of "danger" that his own riding more or less created.

Anyway, sack this off. There's bigger dangers out there for us all. Mopeds, taxis.. reanimated corpses.

Nah, na na na nah
Na na na nah, na na nah, na na nah
Na na na nah

Here comes the Brompton Rider (humming this)
She's the lyrical dancer (sort of thing)
Fold up the bike inna di building (practical)
Still love rolling about (humming this)

All together now...!!

That Mistral is the pub bike of dreams!

Yeah I don't necessarily have a problem with people riding with music at a level where they can still hear stuff, especially on long rides but when you've got them both in and it effects your own judgement/awareness you are officially not allowed to shout at anyone haha.
Particularly if they actually did no wrong and perhaps aren't as "hardcore" a cyclist as yourself.
In fact, you're just not even allowed to shout at anyone else on a bike unless they've nearly made you die.
To summarise, the rules are basically 'don't be an obnoxious twat on a bike'.
Seeya later, yeah.

To the girl who won't be on here but deserves sympathy; please don't listen to pricks like the one who shouted "use your fucking arms and eyes" right in your face at Waterloo. He was riding about 20mph right behind you with earphones in. The fact that he thinks you 'cut him up' was entirely his fault and probably the least he deserved. I hate shit like that when I think it might put people off cycling.

Straight bargain! They weigh an absolute ton but one of these got me well through university and beyond.

DAS-a-blanka'd :-(

Gold.

Milk teeth?

I keep seeing a chap with a white spokk at the centre point junction - he heads west down Oxford St. i think?

Yeah, that could be one of them. He was riding quite slow on a stealthy black track bike?

Weird one; Basically some kids playing chicken with me in Tulse Hill.
About 6 11-12 year olds seem to spot me as I'm coming 'round the corner and begin running out in the road. Somehow I manage to weave and skid through all of them and resisted the temptation to bat one of them over the head. Not entirely sure what they would've done had I hit one of them (nicked my bike? tried to beat me up?) but I can't think they'd planned that far if they were daft enough to play chicken.

Also, hello to two Aerospokkers one white, one green, both in the Tottenham Court Road area!

wuht!

bumpday

Saw the bloke (messenger?) on the red Fort track with deepish rims and a basket again. Actually love the look of that thing. Would do the same with mine but fear baskets may be the ultimate in hipsterdom come the summer. My tight jeans and wanky job are already doing me no favours.

Called the ambulance on this. Looked like the woman unweighted herself looking round and then got hit by a minicab that was behind her as they both pulled away from the lights. (Not suggesting blame either way here, obviously). Anyway, importantly all details were took down by police and she was at least breathing and moving a bit when we returned a bit later. All the best to her, hope she's alright!
