One Percent Bicycle & Drinking Club

Come on those in the know, spill the beans and let's build the club. Yes ImOnCrank, I'm looking at you!

The most motherfucking fearsome group of village-pillaging, sisterfucking, drink-all-the-beer-in-your-house-and-piss-on-your-flooring, hooligans ever to set tire to the streets of London. Got a problem?

Damn, you wouldn't be saying that if you saw my sister... if you ever cross me I'm going to give her your number.

Hahaha, with a comment like that you may qualify for admission. Next up, the amputation stage.

PS where'd you get that picture of ollies bike?

Some random thread from bikeforums.net the last time a few of us suggested getting together, drinking and riding in London.

We didn't learn much that time around either ;)

We'll have to create a splinter group if you don't spill enough beans.

I'm not actually in London anymore and one of our other members is down in Brighton now but look for a big goofy ginger fucker on a blue Jackson, a scrappy american messenger fuck on a black and white gitane, a stoned man model on a blue debaged raleigh, or a little japanese guy on the hottest bikes you've ever seen.

1% will ride again though, this I promise.

I am goofy ginger fucker (not that I fuck gingers unless you count masterbation) and I like to do my ride home to Plumbstead drunk, spinning seems easier, unfortunatly stopping is not.

beans.

since jack left and he was the most pushy/organised/colour co-ordinated 1%er the disorganised dregs have fallen to the side. we still meet, just not very often and not en mass- just a friendly pint or meal etc.

also there is a bigger 'community' of messengers and bike geeks at the duke that was established long before- 1% really started as a spin off from BF.net

I am the goofy tall ginger man. I also have a black brakeless track bike with yellow tyres and risers that you might see me on. At the moment I roll the old man style on the Jackson - wide drops, two brake levers and a Carradice to get ready for my upcoming tour.

As salmonchild said, we have degenerated into an occasional drinking club with little in the way of bikes. That's partly because two members have been hospitalised and operated upon since November. Go bikes!

Fuck yeah we have! From Gangland warfare motherfuckers!

What was that about color coordination fucker?

dude, is that a schwinn?

hahaha schwing yes, schwinn no. Bareknuckle.

Animal Chin is the Don!

Hells yes.

:) giger goofy Brick if you are in Plumstead check out the the Old Mill at the top of Plumstead Common, our club have a Tuesday night pub run and we went there a few months ago, the landlord insisted we take our bikes through the pub to the garden.
He had a chat with us and told us all about his bikes and more importantly beer festivals.
His last order bell is him and his girlfriend with Celtic drums dancing behind the bar and then he bought us a round while he went and fetched his old Dawes complete with 'Carbide Acetylene' lamp.

As we were leaving coming back through the bar he said "you can't leave without doing the pool table challenge" at which he hopped on his bike rode through the bar around the tight passage around the pool table and back to us.
So one by one we all obliged, four straight runs and two with faults

He took the pub on three years ago and had every intention of getting 'Good Beer Guide' approval, something he has achieved admirably.

All in all a great no nonsense pub with a great atmosphere and great well kept beer.

Cheers
Steve

I miss the pub a lot right now.

well, thanks to velocity boy, this site is here to encourage group activities right?

so how about a planned group trip to the badlands of the south east to check out fixedwheelnut's suggestion?

Damn good idea... I'm up for it even if it is a 40-mile round trip for me just to get there :)

worth it just to build up a good thirst- the first pint will be oh so refreshing...!

sounds good to me too, depends on when your thinking of though?

Next weekend? But not Good Friday as that's Herne Hill.

could be good for me, depends on whether i decide to escape the smoke for a couple of days...
but provisionally count me in

I'd be up for this some time, but next weekend am escaping to the coast with my bike and my girl. Otherwise, I'll be up for the next ride.
