2009-08-22 Sat - The Bridges VII - East to West

Cool pics but I saw a guy videoing everyone riding across one of the first bridges, anyone know who it was? That vid would be great as everyone's in it!
maybe another of this might pop up soon

it's a shame the music has been diabled

. Everyone knows it's people riding brakless who are shit on bikes.

Like Hoy, Pendleton and Wiggins, you mean?

Let's leave generalisations alone for a while shall we? [Said in most offensively patronising manner possible]

Yup; especially Pendleton. A woman AND brakless... look out.

A woman AND brakless...
AND lycra clad - not quite my cup of tea, but some seem interested.

I don't think the double irony works, Soul.

I'm a girl and I was there! I had a wicked time, it was my first forum ride and certainly won't be the last. Must remember to pack more of my friend mister famous grouse next time though and less utterly useless shit

I'm not sure my sense of humor is appreciated on this thread. It was more sarcasm than irony anyway :)

I, for one, welcome all people to the fun of cycling.

Yup it's blanket alright.... includes you.

It's only jokes anyway. Everyone knows it's people riding brakless who are shit on bikes.

Come come now mc mad rapha- everybody knows it's drunken hipsters that are shit on bikes...

I hope you are not directing 'hipster' at me!? I'll have you know i couldn't fit in skinny jeans if my life depended on it. I also only own sunglasses which are practical and not in a primary colour.

Don't get me wrong, I do like a bit of oblique humour, but I think this didn't quite work. Someone who didn't know that you generally post sensible stuff might take it too literally.

A bit of video here, camera makes crap quality ones, but it gives an idea though...

Calm down G it's pretty clear you're not a hipster... It wasn't directed at you so much as re-directing it from a brakeless me...

...generally...

Bit harsh :)

leave it guys, it would be cool if we could keep the comments 'bridges' related.

oh and diapo, don't be shy, please add to the vimeo group.

Christ i'm joint last with superprecise in that video

The guy clipping the curb doing a spectacular flip to re-break his collar bone in front of me - slightly less fun.

For anyone's information, THIS is Simon J who broke his arse to bits by hitting the kerb. As you can see he spends all day and night on the forum and is rivaling hippy re; post count.

Gutted there's no footage of it.

Oh yeah, with my annoying voice fully audible.

Glad to avoid a slap with a swift and humble apology. They were very angry though... Must have been a slow night.

Note to self: drink less and grow up more.

Damn straight they were angry, i was standing close by when i heard this little set to...not sure if it was the cleverest thing you've ever said to a woman just passing by

BUT

the timing was impeccable...

Nice vid of the first bridge diapo. I did a quick count and its >250 riders (Started to lose count in places) and it doesnt include you.

No, it doesn't. I've changed the credits to 250 riders ;)

Here's what I filmed and "edited" on my phone - so apologies for the crap quality (especially the sound)

great vid.

Guys, I'm a little new to all this forum hooha and was kind of hoping someone would just point me in a right direction..... calander says drinks south every monday.... I'm not originally from London, but south in a city like London is a bit vague isn't it? Can someone tell where I need to go to get lessons in cool?

great vid.
