Richmond Park = Full of tossers

:(

I like LBS wars.

Maybe we could pitch them against each other in a series of challenges. On Track, Trail, and Street, then make a reality tv programme about it. Channel 4 go crazy for this kind of shit.

mountain biking?

Oh, mountain biking. I thought you'd gone hang-gliding or abseiling, 'throwing yourself down hills'. :)

Also Lycra is more important for us fatties, than you pros. Imagine how chaffed this guys inner thighs and armpits would be without it!!!!!

Mmmm i blame the parents

More likely closer to 5k with the carbon wheelsets...

Although there does seem to be an inordinate amount of posers with double barrelled surnames in RP at the weekends...

How do you know their surnames'?! Chaleting?

How many poseur hipster scum are there in east London, riding badly like they own the place?

Nope not me Im riding badly like I own the place in brighton

I ride badly around London, but then I DO own the fucking place

I'm gonna guess. But I'd say none.
If you are on a fixie you are automatically a well good rider in it.

IMy argument is that 90 percent of the lycra wearing fools today were fat, slow and obviously unfit. Posers, in other words..

mmmm fat guys posing in lycra

Add me to the list!

Did some circumnavigations last night, in lycra, in the dark.

Awesome, except for the friggin deer all over the road.

"Richmond Park = Full of tossers "

Jeez, what's all the fuss about... I am known to occassionally toss... who doesn't?

mmmm fat guys posing in lycra

SXC as hell, does anyone else sit in the bush's rubbing one out?

I was wondering which thread to bump to post this and this seemed apt.

It seems like the constituents have had enough:

Dear Resident,

I wanted to let you know about an important public meeting I am arranging for Wednesday, December 17th, at the Duke St Church in Richmond. The topic will be cycling - and in particular the rising tensions between cyclists, motorists and pedestrians in Richmond Park.

It will be an open forum, and the purpose is simply to explore solutions to a problem that is raised with me by constituents on a near daily basis. I hope that by crowd-sourcing the problem, interesting and valuable solutions will be offered up, and to that end, I warmly invite you to come along and contribute.

I will chair the meeting, and have assembled a panel of representatives from Richmond and Kingston Councils, the Royal parks, and the police.

Event details:

Date: Wednesday 17th December - 7:30pm
Location: Duke Street Church, Quadrant Rd (off the Green), Richmond, TW9 1DH

I very much hope to see you there,

Best wishes,

Zac Goldsmith
MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston

Ban cars, get peds off roads. Thank me with a key to the city. You're welcome.

Hippy for prez!

^^^ Ooh, that'll be fun. Luckily I expect a sum total of fuck all to come from it other than maybe a temporary increased presence of Parks Police for a few weeks afterwards.

Someone needs to get a speeding ticket for cycling too fast and then have the balls (and money) to challenge it to see if the law really does limit cyclists to 20mph.

Urgh Zac Goldsmith is an insufferable cunt and by the looks of that panel they want to ban cycling in the park or confine bikes to the off road cycle lane.

Well, best that any regular RP riders get themselves in their to defend their right to paaaaaarty.

Fuck him, he doesn't want people to pay for parking in Richmond Park.

@Greenbank Someone needs to get a speeding ticket for cycling too fast and then have the balls (and money) to challenge it to see if the law really does limit cyclists to 20mph.

If I ever get fine (got caught a dozen time but never fined), I'll do exactly that, only problem is the money.

You don't even need to work at it, just relax and let the bike go over 20mph.

The CDF may be interested, otherwise you could probably publicise it and collect donations to fund the fight.

Wait im confused. Are we crowd sourcing money for bike speeding fines?

Never mind all that. I need to know how to do this!

20mph

It's not clear whether it's legal or not to fine cyclists for speeding in Richmond Park.

The only way to find out for sure is to get a ticket and then challenge it in the courts.
