LFGSS Book

I think there should be text/prose pieces as well as photos. I know of some very talented writers on here. It also makes production a bit cheaper to have something other than photos. Happy to help with any editing you need.

editing will make or break this. that and good images :-)

And cars, don't forget cars

dons flameproof suit

hmmm

You could do a page on mixed metaphors.

I follow where you're coming from.

How about a deluxe "Collectors' Edition" which would come with it's own kickstand to keep the book upright on your coffee table and a bonus CD of Tynan reading the whole of the Mosque Thread?

in the style of william shatner please

Should contain Ed's guide for changing a tyre....

:-)

still funny!

Tynan should have his own section

Tynan should have his own book

It's good that we are singing from the same hymn sheet on this baby.

Can I go naked ?

I think we should have a bike classified section at the back, with lots of really bad entries from everyone, the worse they are all the better.

I completely forgot the illustrators! You are all welcome to add something too.

You can go bear.

I use them for all my prints and have ordered photo books for family...good quality though not quite what Ben's thinking about?

though this might be: http://www.lulu.com/

I've thought about using lulu before, has anyone else?

Put me down for contributing to the design (book design a special interest of mine)

be sure to include the 'hipster spice route'..

That looks gorgeous.

I'd buy it.

Put me down for helping too... what help do you need? (Credit card for the production run and a payment system?)

+1 very nice cover

Put this quote in, Please!

I just bought myself my first fixed gear bike.
And i'm having trouble braking.
I've tried locking my legs but i cant get the wheels to stop turning.
They just force my legs around.
Any ideas why ?

Its almost like a poem!

I'm liking that James.

prepares for a lynching

can we have a geared version?

...
and +1 on anecdotes!

the thing about geared riding is there isn't much to talk about,
"i like to get my cadence just right... num num num"

fixed gear riding however encompasses every aspect of life ever experienced ;)

fixed gear encompasses all life ever experienced ;)

lol, i think we've got a book right there, i'd buy it!

So Corny and I had our first meeting yesterday (with a little help from Skully), some good thoughts flying around.

The feel of the book is not really going to be about the forum, more a celebration of what happens *because *the forum exists. Almost like a thankyou.

Though we are going to include bits from the threads that work well on their own. As Corny put it "you know when you laugh at something on the forum, and someone asks what's so funny, and you have to explain the whole backstory, by which point it's not funny anymore." That's what we wish to avoid, though I know there is plenty of stuff we can include. Still early days at the moment. Stuff like handy tips and street cycling.

Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas for content and design, all great so far. Keep em coming people!

I'll help out any way I can, Ben... Sorry I couldn't stop and chat yesterday, I was being dragged away by two gorgeous young ladies... You know how it is... ;]
