  • roller party on the friday?
    where? when?

  • ms. ulty I'm actually going to watch a friend play at Wimbledon

    This is my domain.

    tennis is rubbish, gimme a shout if you get bored and want to ride or just lime

  • Thanks for all your help, I just booked myself into the Columbia Hotel across from the Kensington Gardens. Thanks for the tip, David! I can't wait to meet you guys. I'll think about bringing my bike and, no, I wouldn't be offended by gears.

  • i live near kensington, ill wisper you my mobile number when i find my phone....

  • I've found a lady in my cycle club willing to lend her geared Condor race bike that she uses for training and commuting. It might be too small though, it's about 51-ish. It'll be for the TdF weekend only.

    Let me know if you want it so that I put you two in touch, or at least let Peta know so that you've bagged it and we can work out the details later.

  • Hah so I just landed and checked into the hotel. Phone doesnt work at all but interwebs up and running.

  • HEy, like the english clouds?

  • it was sunny yesterday, you brought the grey with you :-)

  • Yeah your weathers fantastic. The roads Ive seen so far are pretty narrow and packed with traffic, plus youve got tons more motorcyclists splitting lanes. Are all roads bike legal?

  • think so, have you got a bike with you?
    so you're staying near piccadilly aye? hae aook at regents park, find the cana then head east you'll get to camden town evenctually, or go to the thames and head either way, but since the weather's shitty head east and check out the TATE modern . As you can tell i like cycling along the water

  • all except motorways.

  • whats going on tonight soup?? are you going for a beer?

  • Hey man, no i havent got a bike Im hoping i can bribe one off someone via food, beer (what the hell do london cyclists like??)...

    Someone invited me to a gallery of a bunch of old famous artists. I declined after realizing a 10 GBP cover is over $20. So now my nights clear. So... anyone got a bike??

  • i dont have a bike but ill be up for a ride if you do et hold of one....im sure someone on here has somthing they can lend you

  • what size are you? (inner leg length)

  • All roads legal except motorways, and flyovers (elevated dual carriageways), and some tunnels (look for signs).

  • Im a 33". My roadies a 56, the Pista Concept a 53. I might just rent a bike in a day or so just to get around. Jetlag definitely just caught up so im passing out now. Thanks all.

  • Are flyovers really illegal? I often rode the A4/Hammersmith? one.

  • hippy Are flyovers really illegal? I often rode the A4/Hammersmith? one.

    There are signs saying no cycles, so yes.

  • Awesome, a 51-ish would be great. Thanks! Please put us in touch....and let me know if you guys want anything special from Chi-town.

  • What's that drink that is absolutely nuts and is pretty much only sold in Chi-town and you either love or hate? I'm thinking it starts with an M.

  • Malort!

  • I'd really appreciate two bottles if you can manage it.

    One for the LondonFGSS'ers to feel abused by, and one for my ever-gloating hard-drinking mates to be floored by.

    Happy to cover the costs.

  • Hmm.. never noticed any. I don't ride the A4 much now anyway so 'no problemo'!
