Welcome

Hi everyone. Like the forum. Long time lurker etc. from exotic SE1.

there are drinks right there if you want to join in on the real fun

Hello all! greetings from Glasgow

Hello, I am veteran cyclist of around 40 years. I am 46 years old. I now ride a single speed fixed gear bike because of the lower maintanence compared to other kinds of bikes.

Hello everyone,
I'm Gloria. Started riding fixed (or bicycles in general) when I moved to Beijing about two years ago and I've just moved to London, originally from Singapore. Right now going to school at Central Saint Martins. Got into an accident last month in Beijing and think my crank might be bent? Can't get my handlebar to be where I want either with the replacement fork... After crawling this forum a bit I've decided to visit the London Bike Kitchen today to have Le Petit (that's the name of my bike) checked out. I'm not very good at riding and use it solely to get from point A to point B. I used to ride with Big Dirty (http://bigdirtycycling.com/), a cycling group/collective made up of foreigners in Beijing, 95% dudes. They do a ride around the city every Thursday night and end the evening with a couple of beers at a dive bar. Been riding my bike around London this past week and a half and I have to say it's terrifying!! Hope to meet more riders here and go on rides regularly! Cheers!!

Welcome, Gloria. The London Bike Kitchen is good. You can also try the Hackney Bike Workshop:

Hope you get it sorted.

Greetings from a place very, very far from cold and snowy London!

Within the Milky Way or... Exactly what galaxy are we talking about here?

Thanks, Oliver! Showed up late at LBK but will go there again tomorrow. Will check out Hackney Bike Workshop next time!

Hi all.. great blog..

Hi all, decided to join last night. My single speed is in bits all over the garage and I dropped the frame off at the powder coating place today, hope to get it back next week and I'll post some pictures of it then, it's only a Trek Soho S but it's had some upgrades, just looking for some nice wheels now.

Oh god. Grateful dead reunion... Circa 08?? Fuck...

And South West?? No such place. Try south's or west's beers as the old lot hang out there.

Hi all, I join from Madrid Spain.
My English is not very good, but I try to follow you for months.

Morning All,

Been lurking for a while and seemed rude not to join in. Got the usual shed full of bikes from from fixed to full TT rig. Race regularly but ride for the hell of it.

Great site.
