Anyone going to the bike show at Earl's Court this Sat?

I'll be going along to look at all the shineys and lovelies. How about you?

Mr and Mrs Boodangle are going if they manage to negotiate their way to That London...

10 Minutes slow walk from my flat, so I might try to shinny up the drainpipe to avoid paying for entry. See you there Van.

So I make a couple lists, and then everyone procurs the urine. :(

I'm disappointed, that nobody made a funny about a paunchy fella shinnying up a drainpipe.

The comedians must be asleep at their desks. Tis a pity. I wanted a bubblebath.

It's only affectionate jossing - well, it is on my part anyway...

Plats, I know you're okay mate. I like the jokes.

I wish I knew what Farid thought of all these lists. Now, THAT would be funny. I'm grinning at the thought.

I'll keep an eye out for you Ashe. How will I recognise any others should our paths cross?

I suggest we all wear a big red S on our chests. I'm sure that's never been done before. :))

Just saw the bbc London report on it.. Apparently they'll be show-casing the 'electronic shift system'

"The shifting is mind-blowing: I mean, you just touch the button, and it shifts."

It will be full of cycle-nerds.
At least on the street I am fast enough to pedal away from them, at a bike show you would be stuck elbow to elbow with the dozy pricks.
A bit like stopping at a red-light and the ASL keeps filling up with morons, but this time the lights never change.

I doubt there'll be any nerds. I'm only going for the chicks. Chicks all love the sensitive beauty of fine engineering tolerances.

I was there today, and there are no chicks.

Just nerds.

Including me.

Quelle surprise...

lots of nerds
lots of ugly bikes
lots of idiots but x100 more tomorrow.

there were some chicks but bike porn was probably better.

it was ok this morning..

girl with plastic boobies on the conti stand, not much else to look at, bar a few nice track bikes (track, not fixie fashion bollox)

awesome!!
how cool is the charge stand!

On a one to ten scale? Maybe six - tops...

I loved the Charge stand, irreverent and well done, there's even a steam outlet......certainly different to the norm and stands out.

a plethora of Condor fixeds...think they've struck the balance between current trends, their history and individuality pretty well.....

apart from getting through my list of people I needed to see I spent the rest of the time looking at kid's bikes and working out just how soon I can get my 5 month old his first three wheeler.....tour de ville were roaming and chatted with Tom on BLB stand who managed to get a snap of me on the "interesting" BC powerbike thingys.

got beaten by RPM bythe way.....
