  • I bought a Brixton Cycles jersey the other day, and liked the fact it came with a label saying "you are now representing Brixton Cycles please ride with consideration to other road users". I actually ride better when wearing it, I think. When I want to ride like a dick I wear my LFGSS top.

  • Well, that^, for once, makes sense.

    Also, maintaining the consistency of style and content to be able to be part of both sides…, which for winnifred is the main root of life.

    So, overall, I would say 10/10.

  • ...I should buy an LFGSS top

  • You don't just buy an LFGSS top. You get bestowed with one.

    You have figured out the first clue and visited the grotty grotto haven't you? In which case you are well on your way to Lynching the Man. You should be elevated in either fifty or fourteen days.

    The spok is in the box.

  • Am I the only one with déjà vu?

  • I know wearing my club jersey I behave my self more. If the committee get an email saying saw one of yours behaving baby around sudbury Glemsford way they will think Malcolm. So I don't behave badly.

    The main cause though for poor behaviour is that the roads are designed around the car. That is slowly starting to change but it is still no excuse for using the pavement. The way we do tragic lights though needs to be looked at. They need to pick up cyclists and change when there is no one about which some do but not all. Also allowing left turns like the Americans do (Right turns) will help a bit too. If traffic flow is eased then the poor behaviour will demish if rules rules rules continue to prevail which impede traffic flow for everyone then all you get is frustrated bike riders and frustrated car drivers making sweeping generalisations about the other when tempers flare a bit.

    Gold. :)

  • Are the brixton cycles jerseys available for anyone or just club members?

  • I would really, really like one. I've wanted one for years. It certainly used to be club members only.

  • Also the timing of lights is wrong for most cyclist and there are far to many lights all because motorist can't work out right of way at mini roundabouts. If I had my way all traffic lights would go well most of them and if as a motorist you a found not being to handle the junction some pays you a visit takes your licence and crushes your car into a cube. Firm but fair way of getting more people on bikes. In fact that how all motoring offenses should be dealt with.in my world my licence would be taken and my car would be a cube. I would still vote for that though.

  • I just walked right into the shop and bought one. £80 or thereabouts, which I was happy to pay because I like supporting the shop and it's a nice looking jersey.

  • Saw some awful club riding on a ride up here called 'Spadger's ride'. It's a memorial ride for a yound rider who died and loads of Yorkshire clubs ride it. Considering that it's a charity set up and just about tolerated by the public, you would think people would ride it with a bit of consideration. It was fucking disappointing to see Liverpool Bravehearts cutting up a Sainsburys van at a junction, I'm amazed he didn't take a couple of them out. Also watched 'Beverley Knights' being absolute dicks all the way round. Holding up traffic, riding into oncoming traffic through villages, crossing wheels etc etc. Didn't help that they got dropped on every hill and then forced through on every flat.

    Anyway. Very specific rant, but people seem to let their mob-mentality override their sense of 'I'm representing my club, and this huge mass start event, I should probably behave.'

    Looking forward to my new club kit arriving so I can reign in some of my swearing at dickhead drivers/cyclists.

  • Short sleeve? Good quality? It is a lot...but yeah happy to support a good shop

  • You can just steal it, or rob it from another cyclist, even using violence. Just make sure that you're wearing a LFGSS top, and you will be excused with honour.

  • Made by Santini in Italy, seems sturdy / well put together, breathable, colour still bright after a few washes. It's 100% polyester. They come out quite tight- Im usually a small or medium but in this I'm a large. Yes short sleeves.

  • If the committee get an email saying saw one of yours behaving baby

    True, true, that is a well-known way for riders to behave. :)

  • I think this was predicted, hence people being encouraged to have their name on the back.

  • Your jersey personalisation is more of a disclaimer, no?

    They're really nice jerseys, mine fit better than my Rapha ones.

  • You should drop the clubs a line and let them know.

  • Also the timing of lights is wrong for most cyclist

    So true, they always seem to be red when I'm riding along. Why can't they be red when I'm not there?
