As mentioned in some other post, write it as if you were a retired sergeant-major from Tunbridge Wells.

Well, I'll make the final decision tomorrow, to get the latest weather forecast, but if nobody has any major objections, it looks like Sunday is the better day at the moment.

Ok, so there is some rain forecast for Saturday, but sunnier on Sunday.

Would people be happy with Sunday, or for it to be moved to some other time?

Personally Sunday isn't amazing for me, I need to be in Oxford overnight, but if needed I can probably make it back to be at the start point for 12.

Another numpty.

Or, you could leave the personal attacks, and debate what I said, if you don't agree with it.

I'm not blaming the cyclist (or anyone) in this case, as we don't know the full facts, I'm just saying that being right in the eyes of the law really doesn't help me when I'm splatted across the road, hence it's good to assume other road users won't always stick to the law.

For example, what if the driver had had a heart attack and was unable to control the vehicle. Or what if it had a Toyota style braking failure? There are many situation where a driver might do something unexpected, but it's not their fault either.

Are you saying that you always stick to your right of way, and I'm a numpty for not doing so? In that case I'd rather be a numpty.

Give us hope, please explain.

Obeying the law doesn't make them blameless - it would have been sensible to slow down, given the fact they were entering a roundabout & that said roundabout had at least two cars approaching it - are you seriously disagreeing with that?

I have to agree with this. There are laws, and there is common sense.

I used to row on the Thames, with big boats coming past. As a non-motor boat I had certain rights of way, but I always remember what my coach said to me "Being right doesn't help if you are dead, stay the fuck away from other boats".

And that's the same principle I apply to cycling.

Mine will never get made...

You better, I want one.

The weather isn't looking great for Saturday at the moment. I don't think this is the most pleasant ride in the rain, so if it stays like that, I may have to look at postponing it. We will see later in the week.

Places to go if you wan't to meet up with non-hipster trackbike people are the polocourt at Nørrebro Parken and the polocourt at Nørrebrohallen (both should show up on google maps). In the summer time the polo crowd often play from around 16pm to 20pm.

Yeah, I was staying in Nørrebro, but didn't get down to the park, which was a bit weak. Next time.

just as well considering 5 of the girls were mown down on a training ride last week in Belgium.

I'm not entirely sure how that impacts the ability of the others to do a skid or not... In any case they seemed in good spirits.

Maybe I've missed the point of your post and had a sense of humour fail...

The GB cycling team in Copenhagen airport. I didn't ask them to do a skid as they didn't have any bikes on them. But mainly because I distracted by Shanaze Reade...

Both of you then? :P

probably.

I'm sure Velocio can tell us how many people view the site on Linux...

It's a Firefox plugin so should work on any operating system which supports firefox

fixed for the linux geeks out there...

You made polar clock? Wow, half my office has it.

8am is all good with me.

Saying that I forgot that was that weekend, I need to go home either that weekend, or this weekend, and I'm organising a ride this weekend. bollocks...

I'm going there in May for a week. I've been before, but never long enough to justify bringing or hiring a bike.

This time I would like to bring my bike, but for various reasons that's not going to be possible this time, so I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to hire a bike. A fixie would be great, but I guess that's unlikely.

Well I got a hire bike, just a normal danish city bike.

I hated cycling there though, I hate not being able to cycle on the roads, and everyone cycles at 2 mph.

It looks like the fixed gear scene has exploded there, last year I saw a handful the entire time I was there, this time I saw 20 on the first evening.

I also went to the track bike shop on the Rantzausgade. They had a good selection, though 50% of it was just BLB components.

Next year I will bring my bike for sure, even with the annoying cycle lanes.

The format, time and route are going to be different next time around.

Fair enough. I look forward to see how you can make a bridges ride different.

My flatmate has bought a single speed after not riding a bike since he was a little kid. He's mainly doing laps of the park at the moment, but I'm going to try and drag him along for the May version of this, for his first ride.

hahahah ey!!! i wasnt upset or anything!!! i knew! i was just busting ur balls mate!!! ahhahah ey ozzy's rulzzz mate!!!!

I think you should get your keyboard fixed, it seems to have some problem with the exclamation mark key.

Anyway, John, for the 10th one, I assume it will be West to East... What about an organised East to West preride for that, I need to go that way anyway, so might as well make it more fun and do two bridges rides in one day. You could always go on the opposites sides of the river, so that it's not the same in reverse...

Now I'm not quite so annoyed I wasn't in London this weekend ;)

Sounds like a genuine accident, and he did the right thing. Fair play

Not according to our accident thread. What does that say about calling the police, and not accepting cash...

who loved mental arithmetic, which is apparently frowned upon by real mathematicians.

Yep 'tis true, a lot of excellent mathematicians are rubbish at arithmetic.

I'm out. Spilt boiling water on my foot yesterday at work, now have a huge blister which hurts a lot in cycle shoes on the 1 mile to work, don't want to test it no 40/50 miles.

Pfft, excuses. Cycle barefoot...

how bonkers am I for considering whether my bike is a tax deductible expense as self employed? I mean, I do really rely on the thing.

depending on your job it is.

If you rely on your bike (courier) you can claim the entire bike, otherwise you can claim a 20p tax rebate per mile you cycle. Not sure if you can do both.

I went there today for lunch.

Really nice sandwiches, I had a roast beef with rocket and horseradish, and a tomato/basil/mozzarella. £2 each. Also a really nice blueberry muffin.

They were really friendly, prices seemed reasonable for the area, and of course the workshop and big screen cycling is nice to have.

I will be going there again [/advert]
