Don't think so, it got as far east as Old St roundabout, and turned around, I think. I left it there.

Looking ahead, April's CM could turn out to be interesting, considering it'll be on the evening of t' Royal Wedding...

How awful. Thoughts going out to the riders.

^ Nice picture. This was at the moment where CM almost turned Camden Town into a street party, very surreal.

CM was great last night, luckily the weather was on our side, especially for February! Not sure about the decision to ride the wrong way up that narrow one-way street off Oxford St, but what's a few more angry cabbies between friends.

Frames designed and built (or at least on behalf of) Luma.

Agreed, I think it's quite an oversight of the website to not mention the manufacturer. It says Columbus tubing, so that's something. I don't know if they're a new manufacturer or if they're just some OTP frames that have been sprayed up.

I'll try to do some digging...

A friend of mine was recently commissioned to create a custom paint-job for a frame, along with a host of other artists. These frames are now available to buy here; http://store.luma-bespoke.com/

Not sure if some of the designs are a little too hipster for some, but they're at the very least individual. Enjoy

^ Full recovery expected. Phew, lucky lady.

There was a doom-monger on Twitter, but I think it was just a presumption rather than fact.

Saw it just a min ago, never seen so many police vehicles at such an incident. Hope whoever's come to grief is OK.

oh bugger...minimum sponsorship of £175...

Or you can just pay £80 and raise whatever you can.

Looks like a worthwhile cause and quite an enjoyable ride. Think I'll do it.

There is also the option to ride for a charity of your choice, so Herne Hill could even be an option....

Apparently the woman is being treated for leg injuries: http://bit.ly/gnGVaA

I think that^ was this;

Think I rode past this this morning, couldn't see for traffic though. Hope she's OK.

fuck, rip dude :-(

actually makes me feel a bit sick that they quoted from here.

Cheap journalism

'Cos outside of the adverts it didn't actually work.

Yeah, I think on the corners the centrifugal force instantly pushed you onto the outside lane. Nice concept though.

They should've got TCR to do it; lane-changing would make it so much better;

Nice video, captures the day perfectly.

It truly demonstrates the randomness of the web, when a well-intentioned plea for a bike's rightful owner ends up in a discussion about race and Pearly Kings/Queens.

Yes Nikola bought a stolen bike, but all things considered, if it had been anyone on here's pride and joy, something they'd saved a long time for and lovingly built up, I'd say they'd be over the moon that someone had the foresight to buy it instead of it being sold on to someone perhaps a little less appreciative of a good bike.

Ideally there would've been a copper walking by at the precise time the thief offered the bike, but hey, if they were that plentiful, maybe the theft wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Well done Nikola.

Ooh, and in my defence;

Knew I wasn't going mad (yet).

Thank god. I thought I was even more out of touch than usual. You have to be careful at my age.

So anyway, I don't do tricks or anything cos I'm shit at them, but I commute into the city every day, usually on a fixed gear. Of course I'm short fat and bald, but if I'm of any use flogging the man's ting then let me know.

Cheers BQ, I'll bear it in mind if or when they decide what they want

It's got to be shit Dubstep too.

For sure, I think the Magnetic Man album should do the trick

Glad to hear things are going OK, hope the recovery continues to go well. All the best to you both.
