i got one, you in hackney?

i'm interested if their not taken

had a little spin with my lady friend, training up her traffic skillz for a jaunt to holland in july. saw a little boy on an awsome thingy-whatsit like two micro scooters that share a front wheel stem and handlebars, told him it was awsome and got treeted like i asked if he wanted a sweet from my van.

whenever a slightly ridiculous looking bike is brought out a race of epic proportions should be arranged on them to test the bike/amuse the world

Any one seen/riden/own one of these contenders to the brompton crown? the web site is http://www.fluida.it/en/index.html they are sold in design shops as well as bike shops so recon they'll be pricey but i couldn't find them for sale anywhere. I have seen one on shaklewell lane chained up so at least one londoner knows if this is ground breaking as the website seems to claim.
it comes with a reverse pedal break but i recon riding it fixed would be like a glorious pedal powered segway. sorry can't upload photo

the figures that suggests car passengers are worse off doesn't take into account differing breathing rates of cyclists and car passangers. I didnt care one bit about all of this till iceland blew up, all that dust ragged my lungs like no ones business and i was wheezing and coughing blood after a particularly hard cycle on a particularly dusty day. after that i got a pollution mask but that makes breathing harder and 19 rides of 20 i leave it behind.

what needs to be questioned is whether cycling in the city has an altogether possitive or negative impact on your health, personlly i would geuss that it will be a dramaticly possitive thing

i am talking from experience of the 2007 create/unipak bike not 2010 but what was wrong was:
front brake holes not drilled straight.
left crank arm is very weak and twists about BB (problem not isolated to my bike)
chain ring bolts love getting loose and lost (don't even know how this happens)
rear wheel nuts don't have enough grip to hold the wheel straight even if you put the weight of the world into tightning them.
the failure that meant i haven't ridden that bike since was when my chain snapped because it was a piece of shit and it was flexing because of the loose chain ring bolts.
i ended up with my stem and testicles, momentarily passed out and miraculously stayed on my bike.
i am sure there is something i have forgotten that went wrong as well as silly little things like the crank nut covers falling out too easily

in short i would only buy this bike for someone who likes eating road

cheers, that makes me want to try one out even more.

i got a 2007(?) model of what was to become create bikes, it was a really fun bike, but only because i enjoy repairs. i can't say that the problems still exist in their bikes as i don't know but i recon leopards and spots and that, they're crap bikes

is there not a lurch in your pedal speed whenever you change gears?

i have ANOTHER puncture, i'm riding session 700's and they have bothbeen really strong i got no punctures for about two months now my rear tyre is a bit more worn i have got two puctures in as many weeks, is this co-incidence or has anyone else noticed a sharp drop off in puncture proofing in these tyres?

I have lived in east end my whole life and my family have always had bikes, dirty thieving bastards have always been a problem but there seems to have been a recent surge in thieving, if you can bring your bikes into your house, do it. we need to be placing "lures" bikes locked with booby trapped shit locks.
