Are we allowed Jpegs of these? I fancy a change of desktop wallpaper on my 28" screen. Some obscenities would go down nicely, ta.

This thread is making me worry about getting run over every time I get on my bike now, which means I'm enjoying it less.
And now there are pictures of people who have been in an accident? Is this a bit too far? Why would you take a photo of someone who's just been run over? I think this person died too.

Clearly the answer is stop reading it isn't it.

Ta buddy!

2nd dibs grips.

Because I'm old enough to have had these in my BMX yoof, I'm going down the nostalgia route and would like them on my fixed.
I'm not even sure they exist in this colour way. Anyone seen them or even have them to sell?

Long shot.

Are those Risers the same one?
£10.
PM'd.

I'll have if Chris isn't interested.
Ta.
And Sorry Chris!

Anyone registered on https://www.immobilise.com as recommended in the article? Clearly a long shot but has to be worth it.
As another incredibly long shot, I have one of those UV pens to mark your phone number on valuables. This was given to me by a copper friend who said there are hundreds of recovered items in police shops that they have no way of tracing the owner.

I'm thinking of hanging a banner on Cygnet St calling the people who buy stolen bikes worse than the thieves.

A taxi driver had the courtesy to beep at me before nearly running me over this morning. I think they're getting the message.

And no, I wasn't in the wrong.

Apologies for potentially turning this thread in to the Ranting Page.

Smooth.
I have a small concern about the plastic loop in the top of my foot. Do you think that would be an issue?

Wondering if you have a rough price in mind.

And remember, take care of yourselves, and each other.

one pratt got his phone slapped out of his hand for being REALLY stupid, and almost causing a major accident,

Quality!

I ride through bank everyday and do the lemming run where twat peds jump out in front of me every other second in between the traffic. It makes me laugh (read as; shits me to tears) the amount of people who are looking in the wrong direction. I find a nice discreet BOO!* often alerts them to the fact that they should be looking at the oncoming traffic.

They should thank us for teaching them a lesson and possibly saving their lives.

*follow by the mutterings of cunt under my breath.

Saw this at the weekend. I think someone either has the wrong idea or has gotten too carried away.
It's a poster for Notting Hill Carnival under the Mayor of London banner with the Danger HGV sticker.
I think this sort of activity is only going to aggravate the situation.

Perhaps we should all take to flinging an assortment of condiments at offending road users? That'll learn them.

I have (almost) learned that being aggressive never works. On the odd occasion that I have calmly explained their error to them, it's ended in a reasonably conversation. Apart from when one bloke said I should get a car so I called him a fat C*nt that should get a bike.

I think we shouldn't let them drive on blissfully unaware but without making them hate all cyclists, innit.

+1 on the guinea pig Scot. :)

Interested in the pedals if you still have?

Dude, don't stress it, a bit of sarcasm and piss taking is par for the course here.
As Fred said, just rock up with your camera, get to know the guys, bring cake/beer/weed (or other appropriate polo related drugs), and start snapping away, they're a friendly bunch and i'm sure most won't mind.

Cheers James.
Think I'll still sack the photography and just come and drink, eat cake and be merry!

all my medium format cameras have manual controls, and kodak portra is still kodak portra whether its 35mm or a roll of 120. that is until you creatively cross process it.

Quite, I just said they're different manual controls.

i know exactly what a holga is and what lomo camera is. i just refuse to accept that vignetting, sharpness fall off, added saturation, lack of contrast, lens artifacts, uncontrolled flare etc etc = creativity or you suddleny become a better photographer when you use one. the argument that some people use of " it makes you take your time and think more about your images" is bullshit, just take your time and think more about your images with your 'normal' camera.
a holga placed in the hands of a monkey doesn't make a creative monkey.

I never said you become a better photographer because you use a Holga, and that certainly is not my opinion.
As I said before, it was by way of explaining why I''m 'taking snaps' if I'm a 'professional photographer'. I simply meant it to explain that what I wanted to do here is take some photos for fun, rather than the (semi) 'professional' stuff I'm commissioned to do.

I don't think your rant was aimed at me, particularly as I haven't ever used that argument, but I apologise for hitting a nerve here.

I"m thinking I'll just leave it.

Sorry Balki, I've made a food fail.
Coconut tubey things only.

Shit, I'm just back from Cyprus and I only have those coconuty tube things.
Shit.

A holga does not have the same manual controls as (D)SLR and therefore they're non-comparable.
The results you get from these medium format films are entirely different from manual cameras because of their make up. Therefore they are not generally used for portraiture in a professional camera.
I'm assuming you know what a Lomography is so you're equipped to have this discussion.

I some how knew my request to take some 'snaps' wouldn't be a straightforward one.

You can't buy creativity obviously.
I was making a comparison between this camera and a (D)SLR.
I'm sorry if I didn't convey that to you.
If you would like me to explain further then do let me know.

I know mate i'm only playing wit ya ;)
I'd like to shoot film sometime, but i'm just too damn impatient, and there's always something else that I need to spend my cash on lol.

I know you're playing mate, was playing back.

Photography and cycling are financially crippling me. Loves it though.

now that's just being silly.

Why on earth is that silly?
