That bike is pretty cheesey

^^udderly brilliant idea

Those awful things are a fine example of how to do things wrong and a waste of resources. Surely you can get your hands on something better?

Can plod stop cyclists without needing to have a reason, as they can do with motor vehicles.

It used to be that they had the power to give you a fixed penalty.

Goddamn, glad that's not in force anymore or LFGSS would have to be all secretive and underground, like that episode of the Goodies and the outlawed scouts. I guess the flip flop hub must have been invented to keep away the fuzz.

Couldn't make it tonight, soooo busy with general life shit at the mo. Did anyone lay a sub 2 mins?

I've got a Freestyle Pro at the moment. May be interested in selling it for about £30.

London Fields Cycles is so busy with repairs that their waiting list has been very long for a couple of years, which is why there are now dedicated repair-only businesses in Hackney, i.e. Bike Yard East or Bike Mech. Lock-7 also do repairs, and no doubt others will spring up in due course.

Kiwi cycles are literally around the corner from LFC on Darnley rd. From what I hear Paul is a good mechanic.

We did lose a couple of regulars too in the form of Kattt and Teddy who have moved on to pastures new in Berlin.

Does anyone know the landlord down there?

Absolutely wicked. Start 'em young as they say. I doubt they have any insurance issues with riding on school grounds then.

tub fail. rim win.

Love the expression on the LH riders face ooohhh faaaarrrk
Mint pic.

Yeah the ooomph seems to have gone out of Easts.

Wha'pen?

There are less people showing up on a regular basis, but i guess a lot of peoples calendars are full at the mo, and the weather has been real patchy.

There's plenty of ooomph, Easts TT is ooomph in it's purest form ;-)

Tiller FTW

About time. I hope this is the start of something bigger and is not just a PR stunt. I still feel that cyclists need legislation to help protect them from the most dangerous road users - motor vehicles. It may make drivers look a bit harder and drive appropriately around us if there are large penalties for colliding with cyclists & peds.

The type of incident highlighted in Dancing James's thread yesterday happens all too often, and I would think have turned into a hit & run had he or his friend actually been driven into.

Oh, they have come out nice.

Racist

Personally I would have been completely knackerd on 49/15. I was on 48/19 and it's sweet. As above, there are some hills to get up but nothing super long.

Just went back and checked, took 7 seconds out of my last time.

Not sure if it's the lower GI, the beer and gin, the amount of riding I've been doing recently, or just a healthy dose of HTFU.

Definately the gin. Gin for the win!

I might come have another go at sub 2 next week.

That's more like it :-)

Ok then, Easts TT lives on despite the pretty average weather we bin havin. The track dried out enough last night and the times were as follows:

Mobidog: 2:08.41
hoonz: 2:14.78
Nurse Holliday: 2:18.97
The Schick: 2:25.25

I have a confession to make on last weeks times, if they seemed a little fast that's because they were fudged in the interest of trying to heat up some competetion etc. All involved agreed that we would have to come clean so here are the actual times from last week:

Reeen: 2:10.44
Ehren Fried Chicken: 2:19.12
Oliver Schick: 2:26.75 (full weight wheeler)
OKwithmydecay: 2:34.97
Bluequinn: 2:37.44 (geared)

Would be cool if we could get more than a handful of times laid down each week. Come on you lot, htfu!

Either/Or I guess. Has stereo brakes.

Day recognise fail. It's Wednesday and I'm not coming to Easts :p

piker ;-)

No worries then. I'm leaving work now, will be en route in some shape or form. If anyone wants to know anything else, utfs.

I'd say about 30 mins from the square to the boozer depending on pace, but no slower than that. So leave at 7, arrive at 7.30 unless someone has other ideas?

kaki green t-shirt, camo chrome bag and a purple Falcon olympic. Exactly, fakengers the lot of us.

I'll be there from 6.30ish for a 7pm departure.

I'm a noob to east beers, was thinking of turning up. I can't make it before 7, so might come straight there. What time do you expect to start?

seeing as we'll be rolling from Trafalgar Sq. we'll be there at about 7.30. Others may be there earlier but this can't be guaranteed.

^^I'm saying we'll up there, no-one has 100% committed, at least in a post so it might be a solo compass ride for me yet.
