Also other cyclists moving from the thin cycle lane on Waterloo Bridge into the bus lane without shoulder checking is madness; actually the lack of shoulder checking in general is nuts.

Bought a new (to me) bike last night and is the first one with gears I've had in a long time. I kep forgetting that I needed to change down to a lower gear at the lights and so was one of them embarrassing planks that try to pull away in top gear :( Sorry everyone.

My gf wants me to bring a load back from London because they haven't made it out to Guildford yet. I did try, but I ate them all while sat at my desk haha. Too moorish.

Well that was fun: out in the sticks cycling at 645 this morning on about 3 inches of fresh, untouched snow up to the train station on 25mm gatorskins! Surprisingly grippy to be honest! Not too cold either. Would have preferred a snow day but ironically the trains were running better that they have all month.

damn. That is awful. I'd have said a lot more than that mate!

lowered to £25. Willing to split if you take all the other parts, frame and whatnot as well.

sold.

Ah that was when it was good, but I think the manager changed over and subsequently 'revamped' it (painted the outside gentrification grey and put a few succulent plants about inside etc).

Yea it got done up about three years ago I think, not been the same since. It was brilliant before that, and the manager and her husband were awesome. Free roast potatoes and fish finger sandwiches on the bar on a sunday for all the punters watching the footy and the locals were always up for a chat etc. Oh and it was £2.80 for a pint of sports lager too. I loved it!

@JurekB That pub is crazy expensive. They tried charging me £6.50 for a pint of average mainstream 'craft' beer in there!

Thanks for the responses everyone. Will get on to them now.

did he apologise?

there's a pub called the prince albert on bellenden road - you couldn't even make it up haha! At some point the road was called Victoria road/st and I have no idea when/why is was changed.

Thanks for the advice, I'll now look into the bus route. It was one of the RV ones (no idea what the numbering is)...The whole thing was bizarre to say the least.

also we found mini, cocktail size shroomdogs...they are bangin'
(pun absolutely intended)

Had one of them greg's sausage rolls. God dam it was just as I remembered: salty as fuck, questionably meaty goodness!

On the waterloo roundabout last night I was hit by someone in a merc. I was coming across their right, and therefore he should have given way, except they did that thing that happens all the time on that roundabout which is to slowly edge out and expect cyclists to move into the other lane (I normally do but there was a bus steaming around at full pelt and I wasn't about to get in front of that). I slammed the breaks on and ended up stopped in front of them while they proceeded to keep edging out and then slowly crunch my back wheel - I don't even think it noticed me at all which is worrying. No harm to me or anything, and at the time I thought, none to my bike. I was more bemused than angry so said to the driver that they should give way to the right etc etc. But as I got to waterloo station I realised my back wheel was very fucked to the point it needs replacing. Stupidly I didn't get any details or anything...anything I can do? Or just take it as a learning experience?

hmm I guess if you are coming down from rye park you could swing down Nigel Road>Bellenden Road all the way to the high st? Bit of a rigmarole but is all back roads and what not.

Are you heading to the surrey canal path after rye lane?

Waterloo station dead this morning and so were the roads. Fleet street is a ghost town.

Fuckinghell. Are you road safing that knuckle dragger?

Sat at a red light in RH turning lane when a black cab blasts through the red light and turns left making loads of other cars have to emergency brake. Shook my head at and gesticulated/pointed the absolute fuckery and another cabbie behind me called me out "you lot do that all the time". Funny thing was a car who was now in the LH turning lane said the same to the cabbie hahaha. Full bore gammon rage directed at the car driver about road tax/fuck cyclists ensued - in front of some very shocked looking passengers he'd seemingly forgotten were there.

I'm glad to see a distinct lack of the cold blue and brilliant white LED lights on here; Forum's got taste.

Wet wet wet. Glad I remembered waterproofs today.

Saw the aftermath of an incident on Waterloo Odean Roundabout this morning (the southside of waterloo bridge): red london bus with it's whole front screen totally smashed/cracked and a pool of blood next to a rucksack and a cycle helmet. No sign of the person/bike - just police managing the traffic. Hoping that whoever is involved is ok...

TL:DNR - all people are cunts
