  • Got the blue, but this weeks and next weeks improvers are full, week after is cancelled then I'm working for the next 5 fridays... so probably won't have pink till November! 1 improvers a week is a joke, especially if its full every week. The whole accreditation process is too drawn out. Think I need to put in a complaint about the 1 session a week thing... pretty frustrating.

    It's a nightmare, just got my pink slip. Next skills is oct 16th and god knows when the next induction is. Gonna be worth it in the long run though.

  • Guy on a big white ss with pink drops riding down Rochdale rd past the marble arch towards shudehill.
    And a green tshirted chap on a green on one, on swan st.
    Thought I'd post you in spotted as I'm yet to be seen, and hope one day it'll be me. ;)

    it's a long long run though, it really does take the piss. it's almost as if they don't want you to get accredited...

    I mean I had to argue with the guy toget my blue slip, when i went to him at the end of the sesison he said "you'll have to come back another time i wasn't watching, you should have asked at the beginning of the session"

    "I did ask"

    he reluctantly then told me to go to reception and get a slip, which he would sign for me. came accross a bit of a c...

    i have to travel over from Leeds on the train, by the time I've got there and paid for a session I'm looking at £25-30 a pop.

  • Guy riding up Cross Street yesterday with cream frame& naked drops & spoke cards

  • This was locked up where I work today, looks fun

    Also bumped into and rode with a guy called Tom on a White BSA conversion. Nice guy & nice bike.

    I'm not sure if that is freaking amazing or if I should be sick.

    Also saw the guy on London Langster in alti again. riding as freaking retardedly as usual. think he works at bike shack ill ask next time I'm in there. grow up you loser, you're no a fixie hipster fakenger messenger, I'm surprised you arn't dead yet. pulling off the pavement into traffic, and infront of me. skidding infront of cars. riding in the door zone. riding on the pavement at 20mph without checking for turning cars at side roads.

  • freaking something.....

  • Think I saw some guy dodging between buses on that thing in fallowfield the other day

    Probably fun to ride but it's not very pretty. Where do you work, rhb?

  • nesbit - Trafford, all over the borough. That was taken in Sale.

    Rincewind - I'm down Alti a bit, any good coffee places? Tried that y-mcgregors but 3 times service in there has been pathetic. Was gonna check out bike shak - it's on an industrial estate I think, but shop opening soon?

    snottyotter, it had an mmu bike club photocard in the spokes so I imagine the owner spends time in the uni bits of town too.

    I dont know about coffee places, to me coffee is coffee. I know where to get beer though ;-)

    It is an industrial estate, on other side of tram line. shop opening soon? as far as I'm aware it has never been closed for longer than usual. It's not that good. fairly small and no particularly nice stock.

    MMU cycling club. I'm pretty sure it no longer exists, I havnt found out anything about it from google and such, last post was in 2008 or something.

  • I've seen the 2 Belgian beer places, look nice. Will save energy avoiding the Bike Shak then.

  • Jacks

  • yeah, looked at the mmu photocard again - has his name on it. "Talented Athlete Scheme 07/08" too. Must be quick, or good at tricks I guess.

    I work at grapevine on the same road as the belgian bar, my colleague set up their wireless CCTV - true story.

  • Mash locked up on Tib st. Lovely build.

  • Some kid pushing a black lo-pro with a purple velocity down Oxford road down by MMU. Looked like a Push-Iron.

    Some of the Team Sky boys on their matching Pinarello's down at the bottom of Birchfields Park.

    Plenty of muppets near the Uni, lets hope the cold thins them out a bit.

    Some kid? Me. Dont understand why Im a muppet though. Care to explain?

  • I give that song 10 out of 10 and not 12 out of 12, but I still don't want to have to start thinking half an hour is only 25 minutes long.

    Spotted...
    That GBH bike with the snowflake wheel rolling very slowly on the pavement on Portland St and later outside Font while I was meeting up with Sarah, still going quite slow.

    Spotted Si heading into Sandbar as we were leaving. Would've popped in and said hello but we were just leaving!

    and, have you guys ever been to that pirate ship in Hulme? with all the ramps and everything all over the show?!

    Found it last week and messed around on it last night.

    That was me on the GBH bike.

  • I think i saw this the other day. does the owner have dreds?

    Yeh it's the basso. Iv a few updates for it to get it back to something abit more along the lines of how it was originally.
