Hey All
me and my flatmates are organising the Mantathalon on July 4th at London fields, 4.pm.
Racing, feats of Manliness and Bike Jousting. Your basic beer fuelled mayhem.
All proceeds going to Moustache Mikey, cause he's still broken.
All welcome to race, to find London's Manliest cyclist £4 entry. Only requirement will be a moustache on your face, and we will provide you with marker pens if you can't grow the bum fluff.
Shit prizes, no sponsors purely for fun.
Its also Canadian Ryan's last weekend before he rides off to India so if you wanna say goodbye come party. Also if your not up for racing come hang out anyway as we'll have a bike jousting tournament after which should be hilarious, bring a tall bike if you dare.
lots of love
best house eva

As others have missed, unless I'm grossly mistaken, I'm pretty sure Stef is being sarcastic for comic effect.
:)
yeah sure 50 years ago it used to be ok to take the piss out of black people and homosexuals...''what its only a joke mate''...bullshit.
@ stef grow up you misogynistic loser and examine your attitudes to woman
This is the reason I stopped bothering with this forum all the just under the surface anti female 'jokes'.
-
yeah tried that, and tried everyone else I can think who may have tickets....nada.....SH*T
-
Ok have totally mesed up getting tickets for people I was supposed to...sh*t sh*t

If theres anyone pulling out perlease let me know

Hello
there is a lovely room for rent in Brockley south east london going. Its the bargainous price of £348.75 for rent and council tax.
You would be living in a total bike house, part of living room sectioned into bike workshop. It would be with Slamm, DT and Hops, all regular forumengers.
The room is on the top floor, its a large double. I currently have plenty of space for a massive desk and work area as well as general sleeping/living space.
Brockley is 15/20 minutes to London bridge (depending on how you ride) but its got everything you need here, big supermarket etc.. The house is pretty big with two/three bathrooms, good size living room (even with the workshop) and a nice kitchen that tends to be a hang out area.
The room is available from the 1st of May and would want someone to move in for then.
One months rent and a deposit of £350.
Please contact myself of any of the other flatmates for any other details.
cheers

i saw chandra in marylebone, i was locking up my bicycle by a posh, bijou pub full of cunts. she rode past like a ray of sunshine illuminating the sorry scene.
ahh bless, I came back after my drop but only the peugot remained. Catch ya next time luv.

jonny [quote]aidan [quote]jonny just saw chandra spinning down TCR, doing the courier thing on a piece of red steel. what happened to the Dolan?
it broke![/quote]
oops! the skinny red steel looks nicer anyway[/quote]
fanks..yeah I managed to keep the Dolan for three whole months! oops.... but they shoudn't go and put curbs all over the place, particularily misleading curbs that seems to be sloping when infact their just waiting to catch you off guard and wipe you out. I might take this to the citizens advice bureau.
I'm sure my lovely new piece of steel will last longer ;) -
if your a girl their a lot more inclusive ;)
-
yeah there's a lot of romanticisation about the job, it has a great community vibe, but at the end of the day its just a job.
ride bikes for fun! -
yofixie check out moving target forum, its a wealth of knowledge from the proffessionals.
Its tough and badly paid, do lots of research before you jump in, especially with how much it costs to live in london. Having said that it is a lovely job in many respects. Just don't expect to make any decent wages for quite a while. -
My family will be an hour away and it will be my birthday on the sunday. I'm sooooo gonna be there.
Just can't visit Oma and Opa smashed, they won't think I'm a nice young lady any more ;)rpm you forgot clogs, gouda, coffee shops, a liberal outlook and lack of hills ;)
-
aidan i quit but Chandra forces me to start again.
yes I literally hold a gun to his head saying ''smoke or I'll smoke you bitch"
He shits his pants every time
On another note when I did manage to quit for four months, I noticed a definate difference in speed and fitness. Plus I smelt better, I mean I could smell and taste better and I personally didn't smell like an ashtray.

Sarah normally uses this bike to transport her lovely border collie Ben Nevis. She's not had a lot of luck lately, so retrieving this bike would be so so good. Its almost her mobile home as she's between flats. Please please keep your eyes peeled for this very unique bike.
