I ride my bike for work. Public transport on the weekend FTW (I am joking)

I want a bargain bucket now, look what you've fucking done.

What's a bargain bucket? It sounds like something I'd like..

Lo-pros are shit.

it's a big leap from a plate to a bucket, but a small leap from a bucket to a trough

The hippy in "What's a bargain bucket?" shocker.

UnDibs. KFC is not NJS.

I love it when people get all worked up over their fashion bikes and try to justify them on grounds of practicality. Please don't or we'll all end up on dutch bikes like edscoble.

Since when dutch bike aren't practical?!

I'll put a coaster hubs on your bike next time you lock it up in Wimbledon for that remark.

KFC is fucking awesome.

I couldn't care less what people want to ride, just don't try and justify it with practicality when it's clearly about looking cool.

And you're not a cool East London hipster, Phil, you are a dour, middle aged brummie with athletes foot and an overdraft.

What a load a horse shit. Professional cyclists are just as fucking vain as your shoreditch twat. To point the finger at hipsters on lo pros when Briko clad Cipollini is mincing around in a fucking Tony the Tiger one piece is truly taking the fucking piss. As I said before vanity is not comparable to performance. It works both ways.

Haha, excellent!

There's nothing funnier than seeing someone calling RPM a Shoreditch twat.

Ordinata, turn off your computer and take your low-pro out for a walkie.

Hahaha. Cipollini's job was to garner publicity for his sponsors. What's your fucking excuse you Shoreditch twat? :P

I highly doubt pros give a shit over what their bike looks like. They'll care more about how light/stiff/aero it is.

What a stud.

As long as you see it as an excuse, I won't be needing one.

I can't remember the last time I had KFC. I think I was probably about 10.

West Kebab ftw!

West Kebab ftw!

Racist.

What? Because I prefer a kebab over yankie chicken?

i like lo pros. i like the look of them. i particularly like them when they've got tubing that curves somewhere on them. i wanted to build one and ride it and see what it was like. i did. the frame i eventually found in my size was flourescent pink, in columbus slx, and i got it for fifty quid. i got it set up right and with some good stuff and it rides great, really fast, really nippy, so much so that it's a fuckin blast and on top of that i think it looks absolutely awesome. It's great around town and good for thirty miles at least.

I suppose in a way I'm riding it to be on the money and in that sense for every person that thinks it's dope there are probably twenty that think i'm a fashion victim or whatever.. it's a shame cos for me it's about how cool the bike looks, i'm even aware i probably sell it short, with my age and lumbering size.

But what I'm not going to do for a good while is get bogged down in plain, purely functional fair and lust after the kinds of bikes that a section of this forum's old men from the south and west seem to deem worthier and more admirable than the ones being ridden round the east. Give me a choice right now between riding round town on a lo pro and riding round town on two grand's worth of a bike I consider boring and far beyond my needs - well, the latter for me is far more of an affectation.

I sure there's a serious debate going on here........................but all I can think about is fried chicken.

I like lo pros, but I'm a racing cyclist so appreciate the design principle that is trying to build a bike that is as aerodynamic as possible. To suggest that they are ideal for mincing riding around London is risible though, something I think pajamas himself recognised when he chose the dress code for the lo pro ride he organised.

Ride them, enjoy them, but don't spout bullshit that says they are ideal for London's streets. They are not.

.....do KFC still do that special edition hickory flavour, That was lush.
