  • buddha: You weren't doing that down Oxford St around lunchtime were you? I watched someone pedal fixed one-footed west near TCR..

  • I live in Paris these days I ride down here each day its a bit mad... oh I don't use the 'cyclespace'...I am riding one legged in with the cars

  • Paris eh? That's not near Oxford St. is it?

  • nah, not really, coming on here makes me feel a bit homesick really

  • No more talk of L_ndon or anywhere else in Engl_nd then!
    Meat pies cobber, afl, Falcon vs. Commodores, Vegemite, VB, Aussie aussie aussie
    You (I mean me) tend to assume people on here are local.
    What's Paris like then? I skipped it when I travelled. Will get there one day.

  • London is hip and edgy and happening

    Paris is slower, smoother and a little more chic

    I like both

    I could murder a meat pie

  • shhh.. there's vegans on this forum ;)

    i'm eating that gazpacho soup.. cold.. it's odd..

  • I love Paris, it's just a shame it's full of Parisians.

  • I'm sure that's what they say about London..

  • why? London's not full of Parisians

  • haw haw :P

  • I often pedal around fixed one-footed. Not for any good reason, I just find it fun. Probably makes me look like a dork, but hey, it's still fun!

  • Me too.. when I unclip accidentally. :)

  • me too, when I just can't get my foot clipped in properly.

  • just over 30 today. To Romford and back. I went out to pay the council tax and then just didn't stop till I got to Romford. Took about 3:45 including lunch stop and a puncture (+ walking 20 mins to find a bike shop because i didnt take any tools). That was with no gloves + risers. Ouch.

  • Smiling Buddah I run 46 x 18 on my Ron Cooper

    TheBrick I've heard that fixedwheel nut skitches alot. Cheat.;)

    "OIH" what is skitching?? ;)

    I have just been rebuilding my front wheel the rim started to bow out where it has worn, just got to true it tomorrow night ready for Saturday :)

  • furthest I've ever gone was chessington and back (about 9 miles each way) every day for a while.

    it's not very far, I'd like to do longer rides but my toeclips start digging in after a while

    Good luck for sat.

    Skitching is grabing hold of a car or van and beeing toed along. You see people doing it on these videos from the states where they have nice wide roads. Whe was a kid I would skitch behind tractors all the time. Dearing.

  • i've ridden from london to near vienna brakeless, in 10 days.

  • Hey that's impressive, what did you do for sleep?

  • crystal meth

  • Does cristal meth help you sleep?

  • yes..it solves the problem

  • Crystal Meth helps with EVERYTHING

  • Furthest is now 105k. No crystal necessary.
