met someone on a black fixie (what is it with black bikes..?) coming along passed st peter's church. i was on my ridiculous yellow lo pro. is it anyone on here??
If you said "nice bike" as you passed, and the reply sounded like "likewise mate", then that was me - unusual looking handlebars you had? I've been going up and down that road for years and I still meet people who have been doing the same!Could be due to the fact that I can't really cope with chatting and cycling in traffic at the same time, so I generally don't - shame really but it gets a bit hairy sometimes!

yep, that was me. ride that route pretty much everyday, and yeah, conversations and traffic don't mix..
maybe see you down the track sometime, or on the social ride this wednesday if it's still happening?? anyone still interested in popping for a ride and a beer after watching a few races at the track?
-
and i also saw a guy with a (surprise) black fixie, no brake & bulllhorns riding along the promenade (maybe with yellow tyres??).
there seem to be more of us cropping up by the day!
yeh its black and with yellow tyres, bullhorns nad a yellow tube pad, its McRae's ghetto paddy wagon, he has been in the shop a few times!
-
and also see the same bloke on a fuji riding up towards the station between half 5 and 6!
if its a dirty red, tube wrapped fuji thats me as thats on my route home, BTW is it me or has Western Road become impassable sometimes due to backed up buses, whats going on?[/quote]
yeh mate, sounds like the one, your normally spotted outside bikehut....overtaking the badly planned traffic

the southove race sounds good!! i've been up it a few times on 42 x 16, but i usually take elm grove to avoid nearly dying. when my friends from london came down last i took them on a round trip up elm grove and down southover to give them the real flavour of cycling in brighton. Needless to say they weren't very pleased (especialy going down southover brakeless teehee!) Apparently brighton is the SF of the UK.

im in for wednesday, see whoever turns up at the track for tea and cake, watch some crazy fast racers then ride/pub. thats a good plan!
-
pissed off I can't make wednesday. have a good one people, lets make it a regular thing.
i saw the black bike with pursuit bars and yellow tyres today. there's also a chrome pista with the stickers removed knocking about too.
p.s. i think i'm going to have put risers on my fix. oh the shame!

the shame indeed!
ps - I saw a girl outside Taj with a yellow-framed fixed with tapeless drops and bright shiny red-ish deep Vs. Brakeless. Is that a full hipster alert?
My arrospoke is on order...
;-)
Shame not to see you tomorrow Paul. See everyone else at the track around 6.

Hey guys.
Just looked at the track timetable. Tomorrow doesn't start until 7pm. If we don't meet until 7, that won't give us much time to ride after watching a couple of races.
What do people think about meeting earlier (say 6) and then finishing up with cake at the track?
Happy to play it either way, so just let me know.
Cheers,
Max

i'm up for a 6pm ride tomorrow. cake and tea at the track after.
crustlord - not sure i have any spare lights to lend. i'll probably need to get a bright one myself...
the southover challenge sounds hardcore, but i'm up for it. probably best to try it fairly late in the evening so there's no traffic!

bloody black bikes eh ;) I kind of wish mine was British racing green now.
RichC, not a great choice mate, those used to be my commuting roads. I guess I try and use the back doubles as much as poss. Are you able to climb Southover?
