yes - that would be brilliant, thank you! see you sunday

does anyone have a copy of nicole cook's last book? i'd love to read it.

she isn't famous, but my sister recently secured a podium finish in stage 1 of the tour de bintan (in singapore, where she lives). so proud!

that bike is incredible! but too small for ladies like me with all the leg :'( whenever i used to try @xsvcx 's bikes i would remember there's almost 10cm between our CTC size and feel like this guy

#longlegprobs

still looking for a M pompetamine as the last seller pulled out, @jolyon can you link/pm me with details if you're still selling? wanted to build fixed but would consider road bike. thanks

nice one ed! what are you getting?

after talking to thomas bates and working on a design for my stomach (similar to this but larger and with a geometric print) i now won't be well enough to get tattooed for months which absolutely sucks.

@heavisides always a fan of your tattoos :)

i got this a couple of months ago from a friend visiting from melbourne:

haha thank you chung ! am i a real forumer yet? i don't think i've been indra'd, in fact he normally fixes things for me and buys me cake, immune2da curse

i should have said - i've technically been on the forum for a couple of years but only really bothered reading what i needed (very little). since becoming a postgrad student i mysteriously now spend all my time on here.

@anidel i've got my grandma's 1938 women's raleigh which i've been "halfway through restoring" for about 18 months as i somehow mislaid the original chainset and cba replacing it (mostly out of chagrin - it must be in my house somewhere) so for now it's upright in my bedroom acting as a place to hang bags. i've then got an old MBK road bike which i want to respray at seabass cycles's new place in South East as it'll be the cheapest option for a road bike. i've also got a fuji track laner's lending me but it's got a seized seatpost so nothing doing while i sort that, and i'm just about to build a winter bike.

tl;dr - boring unfinished projects

dibs bag, pm'd

this is, at the moment, my only functioning bike:

and me:

thought i'd stop derailing the ladies ride thread - really happy this is going all through the winter, i'm going on sunday. anyone else planning to?

can't make turbo now either, argh i hate cancelling things. but i'll be at track on sunday with a few others, have a lovely ride and see you possibly next sunday :) really looking forward to getting back into some kind of routine...

that theme song is truly disgusting

(subconsciously creates montage of cycle ps / SEs to it)

both of them doing a lot of internet this:

and pretending to ignore the other, i think

i'm enthralled by this SEs hollyoaks drama between 6pt and elra

cool, thanks everyone! gonna catch up with sam on friday #wheelsinmotion

also women's track sessions on Sundays are running all through the winter if anyone's keen. being cold for a little bit is crap but it'll be good

in for a swift pint after 8, @branwen can bring you a record if you're around

yeah i know gears would be better but i only have track at the moment, just checking with them. see you tomorrow hopefully!

ooh lovely! in that case maybe see you there if i get a bike sorted out in time - what bike are you using?

anyone interested in doing turbo training (wednesday nights) at HHV with me soon? i'm going nuts not having a commute any more

ah cool. can't make tonight but next time definitely

what kind of time?

tuesdays i have yoga (smh, etc) so i'll cast my vote for mondays or weds/thursdays but if tuesday works for more people go for it! will catch up with you

not a couple but did hear you, pro motorised DASing!

<3

also just to reiterate,

Although we have a specific focus on female fixed gear cyclists we also welcome
all female cycling enthusiasts even if you ride with gears, singlespeed, BMX etc.

fixed gear gets a lot of trolling if it's seen as insubstantial but personally i feel that if taken in the manner of a balanced diet (ie, a bit of everything) it can be super beneficial, i've learnt a lot about what i like and want to work on. without forum ladies i would never have tried cx or track or bmx, or look into longer rides, have people to ask about saddles and women specific clothing. i'm happy to support that and i worked hard to get more women involved at the last track day when there was only sam and jess - we ended up with a good field. learning more about riding fixed gear is part of that equation (for me, at least), and if a slightly corny video highlights some key issues i'm cool with that
