Sounds v. cool. Praps throw some pics up on your site if you get a chance?

I really should go get that bloody GT from Witcomb..

natureboy [quote]htay Pretty much how i feel.
Has anyone been to HH track for training- can you just turn up and ride?

you have to go to the induction session at the godawful time of 9 o'clock saturday morning. Thankfully you only have to do this once - after that you can turn up any time between 10 ish and 12:30 on saturday and join in the fun/pain depending on how fit you are.[/quote]

Cheers.

scott not scot the sooner i get my shirts printed....the better!!!!

I was gonna do a similar thing on a bumper sticker... in purple and lime green!

photoben Don't know if this is relevant, but 'bout a month ago I was walking past the tate modern with a friend and my fix, saw two Eastern European couriers chatting. Eying up their machines, I said "nice bikes". They replied "yours is shit". That wasn't very nice so I shouted "your mum was shit" and carried on walking...

mate of mine has a massive blonde curly afro, the amount of shit he gets from people all day every day is unbelievable. one night walking through a park, group of about 7 chavs on and around a bench drinking their stellas being loud etc.. as he walks past they fall silent. one of them says, 'who the fuck cut your hair!?' andy turns to him and simply says, 'Your mum.'

All the other chavs turn to the instigator and fall about laughing!

that's good, but could've worked out pretty wrong..

ah, just realized today - I wear a helmet, that pretty much excludes me from the fakenger community..

Here's what I moved. If you want to make a wiki page called fakenger, go ahead. But put in the right place.

A Fakenger is a copycat of a london bicycle messenger. They ride fixed wheels and dress in a hipster uniform. The uniform consists of rolled up jeans or tight jeans, a courier style bag and a cycling hat. You can spot the difference from a real courier by lack of radio, relative sobriety and clean fingernails. Oddly they all seem to be of slight build. They like to fashion themselves on a messenger. The word fakenger was created by Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill was a London bicycle messenger for years and is now a controller at a courier company. He created a blogg for london messengers called Movingtargetzine and it was here he started the term Fakenger. The term was first derogatory but is now accepted as a descriptive word in messenger circles. Fakengers sprung up at the same time that commuting in London became fashionable. They started to appear about 2 years ago and now there are many. There seems to be a lot of Fakengers living in Hackney. The fakengers have a forum called londonfixedgearandsinglespeed. They like to chat about repairing punctures and chain tension. They also like to take photos of their bikes and upload them onto the forum." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buffalo Bill (talk • contribs) 17:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC
