Spoke Cards Printed

Sorry for the delay on this. I was away for a long weekend. Spokes cards are printed and ready (2500 of both winning ones). Apparently they look very good but I haven't seen them yet.

As I mentioned before they are like normal postcards, full colour, thick card, both sided but not laminated in plastic. That everyone would have to do individually. However we got them for free. Maybe some we can just use as postcards and leave them in bike friendly places.

Howis Brown mentioned he wanted to pick them up from the printers on Hatton Garden and store them in his office.

The printer is called Oldarcres / 62 Hatton Garden / speak to Richard or Miranda.
its a big box they told me. Probably too heavy to carry on a bike.

PHOTOBEN! can you still send me some please:)
i only know one other fixie rider in "my ends" and
ill get him to rep one(he is a pro skater).

shit i dont even know if it was photoben who said he could
send me some? it was someone with free postage at their work?

Yup it was me. Whisper me your address and I'll send them to you when I get them. This goes to anyone else who lives in far off lands and wants some.

Photoben, I'm in Barcelona!! Hopefully " Far off lands" means overseas too, cheers man, i'll whisper you!

joe_b: Are you the dude in Bath I was gonna deliver to?

do i just go by and ask for richard or miranda and they'll hand over the box? if yes, then i can do that either today or tomorrow.

now we just need to sort out lamination. it may be easier for people to get their card and laminate it themselves as finding a large enough laminator to do all the cards might be difficult.

Hovis, cheers for picking them up. Pub then to pass em out? I've already got a few requests to abuse the free post at my work.

Pub to pass them out. will need to get the ok from punkpixel to pick up the cards and i'll get them.

hippy joe_b: Are you the dude in Bath I was gonna deliver to?

yeh you were. didnt think you were planning a trip up soon though?
its a serious ride!

I'm a serious rider. :P

Well, not this weekend as I've got DD. If you really want them quick you best bet is to get Ben Photo to send 'em.
I'm still gonna ride to Bath at some stage.

yeh ill get ben to send em so i can spread the word about londonfgss as best i can!

BUT there is another discussion topic about a ride to bath! it should be done!

Diary permitting I would be up for joing you on a ride to Bath hippy, but I would do it geard myself. I am not that crazy.

Sorry, brakeless unicycles only. Oh, you have to have dreadlocks too.

Do anal dreadlocks count?

Anal beads are fine.

.. but yet it feels so right.

I'm not riding near you Tommy! ;)

Something to hold on to if you need pulling along...

Yes its fine to pick them up. I told them. They know me for years. Downstairs you can also speak to Sue. I give them a ring now. let me know how they came out.

Re Lamination: I have never done much plastic lamination, but I suppose it would be easiest if everyone does it himself. Or we check with places like Servicepoint where they normally laminate restaurant menus how much it would be to laminate a few hundred.

i think my mum has a shoddy laminator somewhere

hey. how about I send you a self adressed envelope and you send me one ?

Can we use sticky backed plastic?

I want to get a blue peter badge for this project...

yeh sticky back would work.
be careful dont wanna ruin them

well...i just went to pick up the cards from the printers and the cards look great. the boxes were a little heavier than i anticipated but they are now safe and sound in the office.

now it's a matter of distribution...

oh: and i think it's three cheers to punkpixel from everyone.
