@flickwg - pedal strike to awesome highside = broken collar bone

You know, maybe we could have continued to Kew and then rode back.
Seriously, that was quite a challenge as I've not rode with two bikes since my old BMX days. Makes trackstanding easier though.
Amusing moment when plod stopped us by Buckingham Palace - had not problem when they heard our explanation but seemed less impressed with my Tynan designed "Old Bill are fucking jokes" T-shirt. -

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but there you go. I've never been embarrassed to be a cyclist before but seeing the CM tonight at HPC really made me wish I wasn't on my bike. What a complete bunch of wankers. How the fuck does moving at a snail's pace promote cycling? All your actions achieved tonight was to make other cyclists targets for the motorists that you pathetically pissed off. Cunts.

Words fail the amount of anger I have at the moment over that article.
Why? You want helmet wearing to be mandatory? Fuck that. You want to to wear a helmet? Go ahead, no one's stopping you. Like everything in life, assess your risks and act accordingly. I'm sure there are some cyclists that probably should be forced to wear helmets (actually it would be better if they learned how to ride better and improved their awareness of things around them) but I'm getting severely pissed off with the constant introduction of legislation in this country to cater for the lowest common denominator of fuckwit.



Will add some tomorrow.
and yes.
