I Loves English

I can not spell and am what is known as a dyslexic mong, who without a computer/type writer creates these great big crayon drawings in place of letters and words. Monkeys write better with sticks dipped in their own shite than i do etc. But If i read this right good old ken is promising lots and lots of bikes crammed into small ol London;

"With the introduction of a central London bike hire scheme with 6,000 bikes available every 300 metres, cycling will be accessible to many more Londoners"
http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=15612

every 300 metres-thats alright aint it :) i wounder who they will appeal to? tourist maybe

or drug dealers...perfect!

One of the best drunk/stoned conversations I ever had was that we should get rid of all the tube trains and have an underground cycle network, with hire bikes at each station. It would be wicked. Perhaps I should suggest that to Ken.

Now how about that campaign?

I would absolutely love this, can we have one, please?

It would be like that one they planned for Toronto (but grubbier):

see here for details

As if bladers skate in a straight line.

They also forgot the dogs off their leashes, the dogs on their leashes allowed to roam 10m, the party of chatty women five-wide across the path, I could go on.. but wont.

Whats missing from the bottom image?.... Oh yeah! The gang of little shits getting ready to knife you, as there is no escape from the tunnel... Better cycle fast!

nothing like a peloton of heavy breathers to sniff all the asbestos dust in tube system. would clean up nicely in another 100yrs

that toronto idea's cool. wonder if any of london's proposed cycle highways will be under cover

Sweeeeeeeet. I hope this is what they do for the planned cycle highways. Can you imagine? No wind resistance, no rain, no broken glass....

No broken glass? Ha! Which tunnel in London doesn't have broken glass in it?

Greenwich foot tunnel.

Though you aren't supposed to cycle through it...

photoben No wind resistance,

They are not vacuums.

they should be.

Yeah it does.. I just dropped a pint there.

Wind is different to air. You can have no wind and still have air resistance.

With all the hippy cyclists eating lots of beans and pulses I'm sure there'll be plenty of wind resistance.

aidan every 300 metres-thats alright aint it :) i wounder who they will appeal to? tourist maybe

I'd be afraid of that. Very afraid.

Here in San Francisco, the absolute most dangerous cyclists aren't the messenger wannabes who can't stop their (fashionably brakeless) track bikes, they're the tourists who haven't ridden a bike for 15 years and decide that wobbling around a bustling urban metropolis in the granny gear of a hired Trek mountain bike is a good idea.

I can't count thee number of times I've nearly died because a group of these imbeciles have forced me into oncoming traffic by riding three abreast the wrong way down a busy city street because they're too fucking thick or arrogant to even vaguely respect the traffic laws. If you think that flouro-commuters ride like cnuts, you ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait until the day that a posse of shit-for-brains tourists (probably Americans) comes tootling down TCR from Goodge Street towards Centre Point and forces you to cut into the path of a bus.

I'm all for getting more people onto bikes, but putting them onto bikes when they can't ride the things and are utterly clueless about how to handle themselves in a city as, quite frankly, lethal as London is tantamount to changing the rules to allow 6-year-olds to drive hire cars.

There will be blood.

But the low speeds will mean it'll only be a little bit of blood. Good stuff! :)

Flow of a fluid over a stationary object is the same as the flow created bya object passing through a fluid. My moving you are creating the wind. At best saying no wind resistance is poor use of language.

And it will be someone else's, not mine, good.

BTW, the thread title should be "I Loves The English"
