I'm in. I remember doing a Circle Line ride with about 9 others and we thinking we were smashing it around. I think it took only a little more than an hour and twenty or something? That was wicked.

Are you joining the Saaf London feeder squadron, or the Paddington bear patrol?

I think it would be terribly rude to ride all the way to Paddington when you're essentially on my doorstep. I'll see you all for the feeder

Man I can't wait for this ride. Looking forward to it all week. I'm even going the long way to and from work so I don't look really really silly on the hills.

I have a silver langster, I ride NW, Euston to Kilburn, where did you ntice this? Fairly sure my sprocket is good though. BB has developed a noticable tick though.

This was on High Holborn. The chap on the black langster like a checkered flag (what is that 2008 or something?) mentioned it was time to change that sprocket after a terrible clunking noise. I would never offer unsolicited mechanical advice unless it was a slack chain in which case I am unable to control myself.

Chap with a dodgey sprocket on your Langster, does sound like it's time to change it. Have a nice day, and oh ARE YOU ON HERE?

Male, white Wilier Road bike. Moving, many on scene. Police just arriving.

Yes, put it in the project section and then change the bartape :)

For I rise to this occasion good souls as I am indeed a moist hardened forum animal!

Rest in peace dear Sofoklis. My thoughts are with your friends and family.

Bernie you with your creative accounting, your fuzzy math and woolly hats.

I know the way to Cambridge and would probably be happy to help lead. Someone should do something about this. I mean, really.

Just because there have always been lying cheaters out there doesn't reduce them to anything other than what they are: lying cheaters.

I'm not saying Vino is, but it's sounds like he's got some allegations worth responding to.

Not sure it should be merged with the doping thread - it's only tangentially related to doping. This is a bribery case uncovered by a doping investigation. As a librarian and indexer I remain a (powerless) authority on the topic.

Doesn't the UCI also occasionally accept private donations from successful Tour riders as well? #zing

Thanks again to MA3K, wicked ride, good speed and I was drunk by the end so that's perfect. I particularly enjoyed playing 'circle the wagons' outside the Tate Modern and seeing Rob. and vunugu for Dunwich memories.

Man you just can't fuck with quiet London at night. Always a pleasure.

Sorry OLC, less esteemed now.

^ Slanderous. We'll be at at least half way over Putney Bridge MAYBE Wandsworth if we hammer it for a while

Any ride report on this? I'm very keen to do it next year and would be curious to know if this route demands gears, and therefore would push me over the edge to finally getting some. Would love to hear about it as it looks beautiful regardless.

If you like it build a huge fucking motorway on it.

If you like it put a roof on it.

Thanks for bringing this to the forums attention. I have demanded dedicated, traffic-free cycle lanes lead up to, on or under any bridge or tunnel and safe exit to cycle lanes on the other side in my views (and thought funding should be toll-based).

Tom I agree with you on every aspect of your post (thank you), save for one point: I can't say I agree with you on on the barriers and cycling provision in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. Making it cycle-only hardly makes sense for peds - clearly on the weekends and in the summertime it's busy with walkengers, esp now that the Cutty Sark is right there on the south side. As for sharing, It's easy to get up to 25 mph on the the descent to the middle and that's not safe for other users. The barriers prevent that. At the moment walking it only takes what, 7-8 minutes? I think it's a compromise cyclists should make to offer fair use for what is a tiny tunnel. Lack of foresight when it was built? Yes, but that's most things in London built pre-1940... Which of course leads to the conclusion both you and I agree on: a new cross-river transport option is needed because it is definitely insufficient and unsafe for cyclists at the moment.

I'm glad it was good B-S, and those kind of things (posh eats, gifts, stamps etc) can really add loads to a ride. I'm just wary of hustlers in general I guess...

So was it fun because it was interesting and well organised, because the food was good, because it was a good destination and a good route OR was it good because it's just fucking awesome to ride bikes with your mates, and riding through the night feels epic? Was it fun because they made it fun, or because you were doing a fun thing which they charged you £45 to do?

I'm not hating, I'm just saying if you find a nice route, pack well for the night and bring some good friends you can blow an organised ride out of the water

This dude is a troll, seen his work elsewhere. Leave this be.

Look the man has just had a £9,000 bike stolen, it's super rare and he's devastated. A cyclist, maybe not like us but a cyclist nonetheless.

....And yet I'm finding it difficult to drum up much sympathy for him really at all.

Last night at the junction of High Holborn and Grays Inn Road, round 715. White Fuji Track Pro (maybe?) seriously deep carbon on the back, some carbon spok/HED on the front, it was all very slavey and wet. If you're not 'on here' you should consider it.
