2008-10-15 - The Bridges V - East to West

@JOL - only just seen your post. Looks like the slaughtered lamb isn't happening now. see you at the ride.

Just be aware that the security guards at Boris' house will ask what is going on when you all meet. If they don't like the crowd they will call the police.

So before anyone gives smart arse answers..
"We're just meeting up here for a ride. We'll be off in a few minutes." should be mentioned. Followed by "that's a big nightstick you have, doesn't it get heavy carrying that around all day?"

Murts and co. do you actually know where the morpeth is?

Just left of Mordor.

it looks like it's on the north/west side of vauxhall bridge from the map i'm looking at.

Millbank

looks like its 5 bridges after the start to me. on millbank.

me and jaygee are meeting up outside clapham north station at 8, if theres anyone else coming past that wants to ride with us.

From what I remember of the last time, they weren't so much worried by the crowd, more the fact that we were blocking the embankment and people couldn't get past, as long as we keep a nice unoccupied area, we should be fine.

ahh..
cheers fellas
i may head down.
i'll be on a bad boy lefty with yellow continentals.

nay problemo with the beers!

i'm biding my time in buying my first ss. i wanna be able to ride one properly and not like some shoreditch twat for cool points.

Ummm, I don't think this is really the right attitude. I would like to think Im not a twat (most people will disagree with me there) and Im not from Shorditch (so I am not biased) but you are kind of allianating yourself before you start. Having said that, come along, have a good time. See you there. I will be the twat ( ;) ) on a pink bike.

seriously what would the arrests be for?
more than 10 people together? unlicensed congregation of cycles?

(anti terrorist?)

Riding furiously.

Drunk and disorderly.

Criminal damage to the car that gets D-locked for trying to push/squeeze past 150 bikes taking up the road.

Looking Middle-Eastern in a public place.

The list goes on...

but theres two twats on here that ride pink bikes.....how will he know which one is you? ;)

Who's the other one?
I mean I'll be a cunt on a bike but it's actually black with pink bits!

He'll probably be sporting a cravat.

I will be the bigger twat!

Riding furiously.

Is it wrong that i've always wanted that on my criminal record?

He'll probably be sporting a cravat.

I will be. No trilby though.

I will be. No trilby though.

Rapha hat then? :P

hoops and jaygee, i'll tag along from clapham north if you don't mind!

When not wearing my helmet. Safety first!

Its why Im packing plastic for you Spins! ;)

apologies if it came across as alienating.. what i mean is that, i want to ride a ss properly.. kinda like a bike messenger, where as now, when i ride one i am so nervous and constantly thinking about slowing down and thats in a park!!
of course the hipster in me wants to look good.. but first and foremost i wanna ride fast and do tricks.

With a fixed it is easier to slow down as you have so much more controle through your legs. A lot of it is anticipating what is ahead and managing your speed/ cadence acordingly. It is something you just need to get used to and you can only get ued to it with time on the bike.
