Names and faces to bikes

man you says you were born in London but damn you do sound very LAish.

do i really, i new it would happen the longer i stayed here, i fuckin hate los angeles. I am still not a citezen of america so i would say i am still english and always will be.

im sorry to mess your forums up with my american ways, i just wanted a little help on getting around.

thanks.

oh and is there a big age range, kids my age?
I haven't seen many youngsters on the social rides. Only one kid actually, but he was with his dad.

Here are a choice of 2 routes from Archway to Bricklane.

You willl need to get re-accustomed to which side of the road to use, before you do night rides.

Just a friendly tip.

I think it's your name dude.

i think everyone's thinking "low-slung balls".

if I reply to "fun between my legs" is that technically "grooming"?
google maps will give you the distance between your 2 spots, but it ain't far...

I guess a 15-year-old calling him / herself 'Fun Between My Legs' isn't really aware of the average age on here..

course it could be a copper posing as a kid. I heard they do that.

Not to entrap paedos, just to perv off on it.

I no im on a london forum and i should have thought about that, because in la "putting the fun between your legs" is a metaphor for a bicycle saddle.

it probley looks really stupid and my user name makes me look like a want, but i just came on here to ask a question.

but now since i have changed my name, may someone explain a little about the bike scene in london?

no worries dylan - there are younger riders around too - come to POLO on Sunday or tricks etc...
As for the distances - maps.google.co.uk

Aw, Dylan you made me laugh with your very first post. Have fun in L-town. You'll be fine.

Sadly Dylanrides means a lot lor worse in london talk. you might just as well call yourself. CheapfilthyFelcher.

The bike scene is what you make it Mr Rides, a % of which is covered all over this forum. from spinning and skids to Polo and classic restoration

mikey, gus and oscar are your age dude.. they often come to trixiedix on a Tuesday, nice guys.

Polo is a general meet on a Sunday, Brick Lane.

thanks for a bit of amusement dude - read the tags on this thread and you'll understand the kinds of silly minds involved.. be careful on forums..!

hahhaha thanks for your input, ill check out those rides, and hope it goes well.

Gus and Oscar are part of the Fixed Gear London crew as well;

I must says having been to LA, it's a fucking strange culture there, I mean I never seen a city full of people who are trying to be someone they're not, it's the most pretentious city I've ever been to! so any cities in comparison to LA will be quite different.

(not that I'm calling you pretentious of course).

damn I feel left out :P
dylan, i live right by archway (tufnell park) and I make pretty much a daily commute to that area, so drop me a message when you're around and I'll be happy to show you how to get there.

ps. i loved the name 'fun between my legs'

Come to trixie on tuesdays and we're having a session at southbank this sat (today). We'll be there from 12:30 (I'll be there a lil earlier though).
Good crowd here, just get used to the humour :)

All you farts were just jealous of the most witty username ever.

I hear you are allowed to post photos of geared bikes in here. Well well.

Here is my mish-mash wonky sized Pinarello; don't laugh at it, please, it's been neglected in the basement for weeks.

face is still the same, bit fatter maybe

Most sensible post regarding Fun Between My Legs was from a 16 year old.

Mikey Merk FTW!

Thanks - it's better than it used to be since I changed the stem to a shorter one. It's mostly OK now, though whoever decided to put 172.5mm cranks on a 49cm frame was clearly being a little bit optimistic. Still, I like a nice bit of toe overlap.

It's a temporary stopgap (quite literally) - my ex moved out the other day so I felt obliged to fill the gaps where his CDs used to be with something

filling the gaps left by an ex with beer? hmmm, I've been there too :-)

man you says you were born in London but damn you do sound very LAish.

that happens really easily.

when i moved to america i picked up the accent a lot after a while people didn't believe i was british

i'm coming too!
we're gunna give you the Grand Tour funnylegs.

Hi all. I have been hanging around like a bad smell for about a month. After a few weeks of blood, sweat, stupid questions and (mostly) tears I finished my first ss bike! Not been out on it yet as I am pretty sick and dont want to aggravate the situation.

Anyway here is the bike (props to white_flower for the sticker design on the frame, props to me for covering up the pink forks...) I want to put a black chain on it, put in a matching set of brakes and will eventually change it to fixed once I am used to cycling round london.

And here is my ugly mug - if you see me out and about in London gimme a shout. I am pretty friendly (most of the time).

Matts.
