just come back from a lovely early ride which has put me in a sunny disposition so thougth I'd just post a positive one as there seems to be a few posts that have gone a bit aggro recently.
Through this strange little forum I've listened to some great tunes I wouldn't have listened to, been on some blinding rides with people I wouldn't have met otherwise, lusted after bikes that i wouldn't necessarily buy myself and met some quality new peeps.
I'm often stunned at the level of creativity with the jokes, photography, vids and skills that a lot of people on the forum have and various things have seeped into my everyday life - caught myself calling a lairy pair of trainers 'hiphipslaveshoes' the other day.
So cheers to VB for all the graft and the initiative for starting the forum and for all the people I've met and chatted to. And Big Up to people like Smeear and archies who have got off their arses and make amazing hats and bags and to the peeps who organise the night rides and polo.
If there was no forum there would be no night rides, polo in different parts of london, and gangs of cycling nuts meeting up for drinks .
If you're not part of it then roll up for a drink or a ride and you'll find a lovely bunch of folk who are as mad about bikes as you are.
If you're new and wondering why some of the forum tarts are accusing you of killing puppies then here's a few links that'll have you shouting ARROSPOK at complete strangers…
