a samosa and a tank is all you need.
ha!
on the topic of well behaved riding, i swear there was nothing risky about my crossing that bus at E+C, by the way. you squeaked like a mouse.
KT Bee repped. Katie-Coo i can't, must spread etc, but masses of real life rep to you both.

that's ok- before we'd even got to the first tag I'd led everyone through a big junction, lights firmly on red.
no need for rep- life or forum- we really didn't do anything other than bring a map and start a thread. KT B did bring some awesome stickers though, and everyone loves a sticker -
and it was the most sober, law-respecting forum ride i've been on, and pretty much the most fun, which just goes to show.
you don't need to be drunkenly RLJing to have a good time; a samosa and a tank is all you need.And the riding skills and discipline were amazing. Riders were taking the lane and most interactions with the few drivers we encountered were positive.

i know this is a very popular tag. has anyone been to the fake house at 145 rue la fayette, Paris? i looks like a big multi-storey house with rows of windows, but inside is one big chamber not divided into floors or rooms. it's a ventilation shaft for the Metro. i wonder if it is also popular with prank delivery orders.

fake house at 145 rue la fayette
Ha, was at Gare du Nord couple of weeks back, but didn't know about it, next time...
It does a pretty convincing job, open windows, shutters...
The distinct lack of flower baskets in the balconies is just lazy though ;-) streetview -
Good thread dredge! I'd be up for it.
Same format as before? We bring a map, stickers, meet at a pub, choose the places we want to revisit, and take it in turns to lead from one tag to another? Last time it took quite a while to revisit not many tags, so might want to pick a general bit of London we want to do. At night again?

aw wasn't it fun? I had such a good time, although as per usual, very frustratingly started several promising conversations and didn't finish them. next time must finish earlier, and in a pub. although primrose hill was top-notch.
I've been thinking all day about which bit was my favourite- can't decide between the graffitti tunnel, st katharine's dock + bridge, and the back of leincester gdns. and the tank. and the shouting at a bus driver on the way home.
plus pretty much everyone who put their name on the list turned up- some sort of forum record? and it was the most sober, law-respecting forum ride i've been on, and pretty much the most fun, which just goes to show.
