Swiss Cottage roundabout, always a sketchy manouvre to get through on a bike and the other morning I was on the bit that turns into the finchley rd and goes past the odeon.
I absolutely despise that section with a passion. Seriously, I want to wipe off the face of the planet. I have never felt safe there and is one of the few sections of London tarmac where I will not hesitate to blow through the lights at every opportunity I get. Going up towards Finchley Rd from Camden is fucking hideous. Everything coming from everywhere. I still don't understand the point of the lights around that bed (I've nearly been flattened so many times there, no idea what makes people think they can overtake) They go green, and so do the main ones next to them. All hell breaks loose. If you can't torpedo it off the lights instantly, you're swamped by Coaches going 40mph.
Hideous fucking section.

Today's oh shit moment ......
Can I follow you around with a camera please? It's for a Mad Fixie Tribe documentary I'm doing....
-
I'm always quite realistic about the materials used on my bike, so yeah, it's quite materialistic....
-
dunno, up to you guys, but we are just 3 people....im having breakfast right now...what do you think? let me know x
I will happily carve a place for this every week on my behalf. I just live far, so need to be sure it's happening early-ish. Tis all I ask.
-
Still happening? I come from afar, so would be nice if confirmed?
-
I come to you once again, great lfgss-verse.
Really didn't get along with these. No idea why I even thought I would. Not used much to be honest. They MIGHT be missing a couple of the bolts/washers, but these are standard biz you can find for pennies (or I will). I'd like to swap them for some horizontal ones if anyone has any lying around. I be in the baker street area if anyone wants to gaze upon them.
Hit me up

You guys seem to have missed my point - shouting out plates and telling people off is a fairly dick move, but does that detract from the driver who's on their phone going dangerously near an unprotected person with 2 tons of metal?
We shouldn't overshadow that. I mean honestly who doesn't see at least one incident of illegal and/or dangerous driving pretty much every time you go out?
Completely understandable, even the plate shouting as a deterrent, it works. When it evolves into a tool for some people to use it as a basis to criticise everyone on the road, that becomes a problem. Also not sure about people knocking on windows and having a go at people for using phones. Yes, its wrong, but If everyone took it upon themselves to be a person of authority, carnage will ensue.

Mad risers innit.

No point lying and saying that's in any way gonna stop me eating meat, but two things blew me away. First is every time I harden myself up enough to go into a super store, it always decks me out how much FOOD there is in there. Like...where does it come from? Especially the meat which has a short shelf life. So much, so often, and this is just one store!
The second is the infrastructure in that video is astonishing. The mammoth sized centrifuge looking mother just feeding and collecting...
If anyone's seen (I haven't read it) Cloud Atlas, this video reminded me of the bit where he leads her into the factory to witness the re-cycled butchery.
I wonder how long before we're all Soylent Green...
-
AlPHA PAPPA BOLLOCKS!
I want to be there when it happens to someone, so when they start reciting the plate, I'll shout out random letters and number to help them out.
-
The trend of shouting out the number plate at evey car that makes the tiniest of mistakes....
-
Yo, can I get the crosstop level and caliper please?
-
Not so much as a tune, but this...for all time...

Just finished building a spinny beater so hey ho why not. Where and when?
1) io (with one extra mallet)
2) Lois
3) Chak (With mallet) -
Christ Husy, you've had quite a time of it.
Seems weird, confronting police like you just did, but I guess I've forgotten the UK context. Talking to a copper like that here in Kenya would quickly lead to a bullshit charge and either a night in jail or £70 bribe.
First time I read that I genuinely thought you mean "a bullshit change". As in, you're standing in court and the judge says " Mr Ndeipi, you are hereby charged with bullshit...."

Hallo fine peoples.
Anyone got a single pivot front brake caliper? My polo bike begs for your help. It's a scrappy bike, so anything scrappy will do.
Muchos thanks

Have a bump for a stellar sale. Thanks man.

I have a cinelli vigorelli 2013 for sale on here let me know what ur budget is
Fuji Feather = £450 complete.
Vigorelli XS = 52cm tt. 50cm ST. He is 5"10. It wouldn't be a comfortable ride, unless he's got stunted limbs. -
Describing hobbies or a bunch of tech users as a "movement".
The only thing moving are my goddamned bowels in complete disgust you fuckig cretin.
-
Yo good people.
One is after a 94BCD chainring if anyone has one lying around. Polo bike duties will also require it to be less than 40t. I know tis a long shot, but one has to try.
Thanks

Okay :(
Why would you roll around on worn tyres? It's the only point of contact between you and everything else! There's no excuse for it
If you own a bike. -
Every year there's a "cyclists should be registered, cyclists should be trained, cyclists should pay tax" article.
Realistically, who is going to pay for the implementation? It's a total non-argument as the costs and policing would far outweigh any return from the cyclists.
Meh. Helmet debate >>>
This a million times. Cycling is allegedly getting more and more popular right, thus more people on the street. Bikes are small/multi use vehicles. I.e they serve multi purposes for transport, recreation, fitness etc. bought new and second hand. So how do you enforce a tax on all these bikes being ridden at random times and sold/bought randomly
Too. Cars have a large footprint, bikes barely any. Itll be like the 30's prohibition, a futile excercise that will backfire.
Education, education, education.
