Record The Naff Factor and watch it when you get back.
-
• #210
I'll take it....
I'm new to this though, both Fixie( so I may crash into people) and this forum.
Been bumping into lampposts just trying to get my paws strapped up
I'm a bit weary of the naff factor... but I guess naff is the new "pink"
Just being an idiot aren't I?Everybody is welcome but if you are that maladroit just stay at the back and don't try to show off.
-
• #211
uh?
How am I meant to record anything?
I'll be lucky not to hurt myself with both hands firmly on the bars...I don't know what that is supposed to mean but you will feel like a prize-cunt if you cause an accident.

No more than your daily commute, Herr Lipp.

My standard disclaimer updated:
A few things to read before you go:
**
Check over your bike
Make sure it is roadworthy**
-Check your tyres for wear and glass/flints/sharp objects
-Pump up the tyres(correctly inflated tyres puncture less)
-Check your lights and batteries
-Check for loose bolts
-Oil the chain
If you are not mechanically competent, get a friend to help you.
You have over 3 days to check over your machine.** Prepare for self-sufficiency **
-Bring a spare tube and tube changing tools
-Bring some basic tools
-Bring spare batteries for your lights
(for the way home)
-Bring warm clothes
-Bring a rainjacket
-Bring a Fully Charged Mobile
-Bring a map/gpsRiding in groups
Also, if you are not used to riding in groups, watch out for those riding with you.
Check that it is safe before overtaking, turning, track-sliding, wheelies, 180's, whatever.Brakeless
If you want to come brakeless,(as I will be) you introduce an extra element of risk for those riding with you.
Unless you really(really) know how to control your bike under pressure don't show off too much in the pack and either get to the front or right to the back on climbs and descents.** Help out, sound off about hazards and if people have been dropped of the back**
Usually if we are riding the first person over a nasty bump or hidden grate, sudden drop, glass, whatever will let those immediately following them now about it by shouting or pointing.
I will shout my loudest if I come across an imminent hazard, my voice, loud as it is doesn't carry all the way to the back.So if you hear about it from the front, pass it back.
Conversely if you see people being dropped off the back, at the lights or because they are slow or having some mechanical difficulties, pass it forward so the people leading the ride know and can take steps to either wait up, slow down or go back and help them out.
** Get other peoples mobile numbers**
You can collect these in either the numbers thread or at the beginning of the ride, worth having in case you get lost off the back(or front).Take a few minutes to check out the route
http://www.bikemap.net/route/299411**Be sensible**
Do not bring arcane or speciality equipment that needs non standard tools or esoteric knowledge in order to sort out failures and malfunctions.
Of course if you can change a 650 tub at the side of the road in under ten minutes and have all the tools and glues, be my guest..

I'll take it....
I'm new to this though, both Fixie( so I may crash into people) and this forum.
Been bumping into lampposts just trying to get my paws strapped up
I'm a bit weary of the naff factor... but I guess naff is the new "pink"
Just being an idiot aren't I?uh?
How am I meant to record anything?
I'll be lucky not to hurt myself with both hands firmly on the bars...maladroit?
That's a big word!I can skid though....
Isn't it a bit cheesy cruising through london with bangin tunes and.... weird looking bike chaps? "with funnysocks"
I think I'm missing the point here, being out of place is the point!
I'm just being a cock, don't diss it till you've ride it.
I don't know anyone though...?Oh fuck off!
Are you bumping me off the ride?I have already said you are more than welcome but I must insist, if (as you say) you are that crap controlling your bike, that for the safety of other riders you stay near the back of the group.
-
• #218
...
so what if I crash into peeps. they just going too slow!
...Just re-read your posts and tell me what I am supposed to think.
-
• #219
This isn't a race either.
-
• #220
I know... I know.... just kidding...
Just a bit nervous cause everyone seemsto know everyone else. Don't want to be the one dinking orange juice on the sideYou will be more than welcome³.
Come up to a few people and introduce yourself.
This isn't some snobbish cycling-club, you will find people to talk to.
There will be a few fast sections but most of the time it is just an easy-going social pace.
We will have a great time. -
