No Bike Week

JackT

I will take part. I will have to walk if it's really wet, or skateboard to work. I'm going have a great week! I've been so unfit since I took up a more efficient mode of transport.

I know a group of girls doing PhDs in (respectively) ponies, kittens and being cute.

where's the photo of them on ponies holding kitten? that would be cute...

i miss riding even if it's just a weekend. when i first moved to london i tuybed it all the time, then the bombs happened and i bougth a bike, it arrived the day of the bombs on buses, one was the 26 on my street, hackney road... cars are arguably more dangerous than terrorists to me in a day to day but i cant stand the tube, dirty and disgusting as it is, and i notice not catching i am signifigantly healthier, buses are ok, prefer to walk over that if i have time...

I have expeirienced not riding whilst broke (financially and skeletally) I can only assume that you idea comes out of never being forced off your bike... or you are a masocist and sadist (for doing it yourself and suggesting it to others)...

Scoota's idea is genius though... with the adition of signs on the cars with cyclists in (as it would be hard to tell the difference between cyclist enduced gridlock and the normal gridlock) I think it should be done...

I can only assume that you idea comes out of never being forced off your bike...

On the contrary, I have been forced off the bike on several occasions, but this is a much a mental test of 'can I manage a week' as anything else. If forced off the bike I have no choice. The tough thing is going to be seeing that lovely bike standing in the hallway and passing it by as I walk out of the house to go and ride on the Tube... so maybe yes, a touch of S/M, but all in the cause of self knowledge.

I'm willing to downgrade my request for a pony to a large dog; I'm very skinny and I reckon a Doberman or similar could easily carry me for one day whilest I go about my work-of-national-importance.

No Bike Week will soon be upon us. It is an experiment in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asceticism"]asceticism[/ame] and an attempt to subvert the tired notions of government-sanctioned “Bike Weeks” that take place from time to time.

Here’s how it works. You - a regular cyclist - vow not to ride a bicycle, tricycle, unicycle or other pedal-powered mechanical contrivance from 23.59 on Sunday 8th March for seven full days and nights. You may ride again from 00.01 on Monday 16 March. During this period, which you might like to think of as a “bikefast”, you will keep a record of how you manage to get around, how you’re feeling, what’s going through your mind from one day to the next. Your expectations, frustrations, unexpected pleasures, unbearable torments…. whatever they may be. The best way to do this is using a voice memo function on a mobile phone, or other recording device. Failing that, a pen and paper will do. The results will be compiled into a No Bike Week feature on The Bike Show.

I am inviting all those taking part to be my guest a “Last Supper” on Sunday evening, 8 March, somewhere in central London, quite possibly at my house. If you don’t live in London or even in the UK, you can still take part. We will find a way to connect with you. If you’d like to join the brave souls who have already agreed to take part, please get in touch by email bikeshow@resonancefm.com.

but will you be giving us ponies?

I thought child labour was outlawed (in Britain).

Big picture for a big dog.

BringMeMyPony

Oi! Don't take the lord's name in vain, you cunt.

I can help if you want, I've just slowly gotten my confidence back on the bike.

If it wasn't for a TT on March 15th (that I'll also be riding 40 miles to get to), I'd do this; aided by the fact I've never really applied for jobs beyond about an hour's walk (ergo 20min bike ride) from home. Oh well.

Good luck with the experiment.

No Wank Week will soon be upon us. It is an experiment in asceticism and an attempt to subvert the tired notions of government-sanctioned “Wank Weeks” that take place from time to time.

Here’s how it works. You - a regular wanker - vow not to ride a bicycle, tricycle, unicycle or other pedal-powered mechanical contrivance from 23.59 on Sunday 8th March for seven full days and nights. You may wank again from 00.01 on Monday 16 March. During this period, which you might like to think of as a “wankfast”, you will keep a record of how you manage to get around, how you’re feeling, what’s going through your mind from one day to the next. Your expectations, frustrations, unexpected pleasures, unbearable torments…. whatever they may be. The best way to do this is using a voice memo function on a mobile phone, or other recording device. Failing that, a pen and tissue paper will do. The results will be compiled into a No Wank Week feature on The Wank Show.

Asceticism = horse-shit.

I thought I caught the smell of transcendent/metaphysical shit when this thread started.

I'm going trancendentistrialalism this weekend.

An 'al' too many?

Or was it meant to be 'trancendentistrialololololololololism'?

JackT - I'd like to volunteer a forum member called Delphina for NoBikeWeek...

Repped. Where's my glass?

Smashed into a thousand shards by your fat drunken hand.

Long and strong baby!

I think Tynan must have been bitten by a Buddhist as a child.

How about a 'No Internet Week' ?
