Anyone here live in Hertfordshire?

hi, is there anyone on here from hertfordshire? or more specific north hertfordshire? i live in stevenage but work in london. i have a friend that i converted to ride fixed and also paddy whos on here is from hertford but i was just wondering if there were anymore lurking around that fancy coming out. as far as im aware us 3 are the only fixed riders around here.

let me know

thanks

The Proclamation of 1897 decreed that "no man, woman or child shall, from this day forward, ever bare such a burden as that of riding a fix-ed wheel whence alternative geared means are available." or something along those lines. Fixed is illegal in Herts.

thats why i keep getting chased by the rozzers then! haha.

what makes you say that? apart from the hills.

No, I'm just a twat. You'll find out soon enough.

Don't live out there but sometimes ride up that way. More west though.. Aylesbury. But since I'm foreign scum, I don't know the borders of Herts anyway.

haha, ok. it was funny tho.

i live here and i dont really know either. its a cloudy mist that ive never really looked into. maybe thats why ive not found more fixed heads!?

cheers man

I just moved from Chesham, which is only about 3 or 4 miles from the border.

Spend a lorra lorra time in West London though. And still visit da boyz, me home-slices in da hoodz of sahff Bucks, innit geezer. Oh fuck, I seem to have come over all "Guy Ritchie" and shit. Five minutes living south of the river and look what it's done to me!!

So... you looking for homeez for rides and stuffs?

Sorry to cast resurrect but I'm from Welwyn Garden!

My gf grew up in Harpendon. That's literally all I have to contribute.

i do! but you said that :-)

Yeah.. i've been riding illegally for years now, only been hassled once for riding fixed on the pavement in Leverstock Green.. I explained to the young WPC that i was on the path because my bike wasn't road legal !! she didn't know what to say, then i came clean and explained that i was on my way to my mates house as it was his turn to drive to Welwyn Track.

I'm in old welwyn, used to live in St Evenage.
A ride in the sun sounds swell

I used to live in brickett wood, close to garston

My parents live in Hatfield. I often ride out to visit them, on SS not fixed though. No crazy hills.

i live in herefordshire
people always mix up hertfordshire and herefordshire
any good ?

your'e verging on my territory there dicki

We need to do a ride!

The summer is coming, and us Hertfordshire hedgehogs need to come out form our
shadowy undergrowth and embrace the open road.

Yeah, a ride to Hatfield Galleria! Then on to Watford What What!

I am both in London and Hertfordshire.
London Borough of Barnet, County of Hertfordshire.

I have a total of about 500 metres of riding fixed, but I am a bottom bracket away from completing my fixie build (damn you, cheap Ofmega crank off fleabay), but when that is sorted, I will (attempt to) head out into the sticks.

Probably sticking near to the train line into Kings Cross because a) Its flatter (I hope) and b) It gives me a bail out option.

Ahh it's good to know local people are around.
If it's only 3-4 of us it'd still be cool to go on a ride.

Ha, i was thinking more rural but a few laps of the galleria would could be very entertaining. Where abouts are you?

Ah the excitement of the first fixie build, nothing quite like it.
Shame about the crank, be sure you get some foot retention if you haven't yet.
Hopefully we'll see it in current projects.

Did you Tring?

When are we going to do this Hertfordshire ride? I'm feeling that home counties love!

I'm about to move down to Potters Bar which might be local to some, would be up for a meet sometime, does anything regular happen in the area?

I used to hang out in Potters Bar, a lot of my friends lived there (I lived a couple of towns down in Hatfield). Haven't been round there for a while although I cycle through on my way to my parents every so often.

cool, well if a ride does go off then pencil me in
