It's east today isn't it?

yes indeedily.

I know, about time. I only bought her a bike about 2 1/2 years ago. Might have to get her a little SS or somant now though, that thing she's got really is a tank.

@ NurseHolliday, If you're rolling back down to Easts before 7pm come to Trafalgar Square and roll on back with us.

@ Mobidog, see you in the square then?

Since I'm back in London for a while I think it's time I made some bike riding friends. Where we meeting or should I just look for a group of chain smoking tattooed people on bikes?

some may fit your description but seeing as I am not tatooed or a smoker you'd be best going to trafalgar square as stated in the opening post. Peeps will be by the fountainy statuey thingy.

Which point on the compass you headed?

Never mind that swine flu, man flu is far more serious.

Get well soon eh.

LB Lambeth are doing pioneering work among local authorities at the moment, and while this can probably be improved, it's an excellent start. More LBs need to follow suit.

My girlfriend just got some cycle tuition from Hackney free of charge, and as she currently works in Lambeth she can get another 2 hours free as well.

The tuition is top notch, before going on it she was absolutely shit-scared of the traffic, made worse by the fact she doesn't drive and therefore doesn't understand it so well. Now she's got so much more confidence, and is always bugging me to get on the bike and go somewhere.

So it would seem, there has been less fanfare than usual. I saw your post on the compass thread. See you there about 6.30 mate.

When's the next Tour De East London scheduled?

No wuckin forries!

she'll be right.

Forecast is currently sunny on Saturday according to BBC weather, roll on summer.

I see your [rim gag] and raise you a [pumping up inner tube gag]

Cool. The rude fisherman is classic.

New members compass beer rides on this week. Any newbies who'd like to ride out to East beers, or any other (Norths, Wests, South easts etc) for that matter post up your interest in the thread via link below:
http://www.londonfgss.com/post814740-864.html
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread15291-18.html

As stated on the other thread I can meet peeps tomorrow for a ride into Easts. If you can't make it to the centre of town that's fine, just head down to the pub. Usually gets goin about 8-8.30pm.

This is a great way to meet other forumengers and get actively involved in something on a regular basis instead of being behind a screen all the time.

We have a TT every week at Easts - 1.4km circuit, start/finish line outside pub. Great fun, run what yer brung. Participation at your own discretion.

If we get sufficient Newby interest is anyone up for the compass beer ride from Trafalgar Square tomorrow?

I can be at Trafalgar Sq tomorrow night if any new forum members are interested in coming down to Easts.

There would appear to be less interest in the compass beer rides than the last few times, being summer I guess everyone has stuff on. Nontheless with sufficent interest from Oldies and Newbies alike there is still time for this to happen.

This is a great way to meet other forumengers and get actively involved in something. I did one of these myself in the winter as a noob, and i didn't even have a fixed or single speed at the time.

So c'mon then peeps, post up if ya want in.

Neat design and concept. London desperately needs these installed everywhere.

His other idea is good too - exploding bike seats via txt FTW!!

Haha, Stopping out for a quick one on the way home just got a whole new meaning.

Nice one mate, they were no doubt in awe of your superior TS skills.

My bike:
Frame before paint - £20, with paint £88 total
Back wheel - £120
Front wheel - £10.

A £10 back wheel would have most certainly given up by now. My deepV is still perfectly round and true, and i expect it to be for many miles to come. I spent the money where it was best utilised. Price of this or that doesn't matter so much, as long as the end result looks fine and functions properly.

I have a pair of these, 661 Filter SPD's. Got them about 2 weeks a go. They have a little window you remove under the ball of your foot for the cleat attachment. Sole is solid as. Can walk around pretty easy but you wouldn't want to run a marathon in 'em. Am as yet to try out with spd pedals as i only have clips and straps at the moment, but the power transfer is awesome over ordinary shoes. They are very well ventilated, but trade off is they are not waterproof.

If you get a pair order 1/2 to 1 euro size above your normal size. The fit is tight. Even with doing this when i first got them I nearly sent them back as my toes were still squeezed a bit, but given they have a leather upper it does give & stretch and now they fit great.

With the last 2 long rides being a mix of weathers I for one am looking forward to a scorcher for a change. I loves me heat.

Totally mint way to spend a Saturday. I nearly didn't find the polo courts, was searching along Brick Lane itself for a bit, worried all the while that the posse had already left. Cheers to Corny for being (fashionably) late, meant i was there in plenty of time ;-).

My knee even sorted itself out with a few tweaks in my riding style enroute.

That Fish N chips at the end was epic. One of the best i've had in long while.

Thanks to Corny & Skully et al for the organisational stuff. Everything went pretty smoothly and remains one to remember.

Bring on Brighton!!!!

They are in fact real words, albeit a little confusing. I looked them up.

At least he actually did ratify Kyoto and apologise to the Aboriginal community. Something Howard didn't have the balls to do, and in my opinion both were seriously and embarrassingly overdue.

Howard was far more of an embarressment to Australia. Just watching him at major events he'd make me cringe, didn't know what to do with himself.
