Anyone going to the London Freewheel?

I'd have to google ad hominem and equivocation so perhaps you're not the expert on communication you think. Those words are too long for an Australian!
Maybe it means you are the expert and I'm no longer fit to judge. Lets survery the riders on the day and see what they think..

Did you perhaps think the light hearted nature of the site might just be an attempt to get away from the angry, lycra-clad roadie type, the angry tattooed ped killin' courier type, etc?

No, because you were too busy faulting the cartoons and complaining of browser incompatibilities. Whatever, a bunch of us are riding, hope you have a fun day!

yeah, it's a shit bike.
no-one's gonna buy that, I mean, look at the geometry!

now, er what were we talking about again?

oh yes! beer.

hmm, beer..........hic!!

Yeah, sorry 'bout the fridge situation.. the weekend emptied me out. Next time.. ;)

just as well i filled mine up earlier then....

I like the attitude you two boys have when it comes to beer.

Beer is good.
Beer is grand.
Beer's better in ya guts
than it is in your hand

here, hic, here

is everyone/most people from this board meeting at a certain place/time? and will there be polo afterwards?

hippy Did you perhaps think the light hearted nature of the site might just be an attempt to get away from the angry, lycra-clad roadie type, the angry tattooed ped killin' courier type, etc?

While you are looking up words, look out for 'straw man' fallacy/argument.

Because I found that website to be lacking in may ways I should not mention it here at LFGSS ?

:)

Maybe you should ride with deraillers for a while.. you seem to be taking this all too seriously :P

I do ride with deraillers.. I chew them on the way to work.
Anyway, I like arguing. I know it's pointless but it gives me something else to do while I clear down my recordings of the Vuelta..
I'll try to avoid the use of strawman arguments in the future - no straw, strammit, hemp or any other related products.
I didn't say anything about not mentioning it on LFGSS, I just disagreed with your reasons for not liking the site. You found the info you wanted after all didn't you?
Hey, there's even a count-down on the homepage now.. now where'd I leave my calculator?

hippy You found the info you wanted after all didn't you?

No, unfortunately not.

Thanks for that.

I emailed them weeks ago, no reply as yet.

Probably the dodgy website they've used.. they're busy dealing with everyone else's questions lol :)

So I managed to arrange a borrowed bike.
Whats the whens and wheres of this sites input?
Or shall we all stay in and argue about it.

Argue!! Argue!! Argue!!

Title: Hovis FreeWheel
Date: Sunday September 23, 2007
Time: 10:15 am - 4:15 pm
Next reminder: The next reminder for this event will be sent in 4 days, 4 minutes.
Location: Ealing Town Hall
Street: Ealing Town Hall
Phone: David Eales
Notes: We're off to the FreeWheel in London. Cycle from Ealing Town Hall to Ravenscourt Park before heading off into London to see the bicycle fair in St James's Park and cycliing nine miles of car free inner London roads seeing sites like Tower Bridge and the Tower London as they should be seen - on a bike!

But that's me. See what your local LCC branch is doing.

so what now? i haven't registered and so i can't ride?

i blame the print ads for not making it obvious that registration is necessary.

is it REALLy necessary?

I don't know how they could police 9 miles of roads to make sure everyone is registered, are they gonna stop non-registered pedestrians?

If I wasn't working in St James Park, I'd turn up for the ride unregistered anyway....see you all on the LCC stand on the day.

Freewheelengers

winston . . .are they gonna stop non-registered pedestrians?

Do you mean fakestrians or pedestrengers ?

i got a parcel in the post, i was like, what the hell is this?

turns out it's a red linen smock/bib thing with a letter and a pack of top trumps and an old skool bell.

i can't go anyway. i must have registered way back when.

sniffle I want my bell.
