TFL's London Cycle Challenge

Nah turbo trainers, static bikes, rollers etc all count I reckon because otherwise it excludes groups who enjoy cycling but can't cycle on the road for legal reasons - like my mate Ben who is blind who ocassionally does a bit of tandem stuff with me but otherwwise isn't able to go on the road.

Has he considered driving a cab for a living?

/Coat.

Oddly enough he does still have his driving licence... for 'comic' reasons only I hope.

Interesting point, but Rolla miles should count for half as there's no wind resistance and mostly no rolling resistance...

My mum is probably joining the team!

'London Cyclist' team have now overtaken us too!

i say we sign up 40 more members, then we'll dick all over islington

4miles a day, my retired mother will do more miles than that this month...

Sign her up too..!!! That's 170pts+ FFS..!!!

So you only have to do some of your miles this month in London for all of them to count? I will be cycling from Richmond to Oxford next weekend, so there will be a couple of miles in London. Does that mean I can log all my miles for the month? I normally do about 140-160 miles a week, excluding the little trips to town etc. I daresay I could rack up a few points...

If you live in London you can log all the miles you cycle.

Except possibly rollas.

Yes, mooaarr. Come on people JOIN UP. This thread has had 2757 views, if you'd all signed up we'd have won by now!

Had 9 more people join since last night. We are now at 60 people. well done!

We're 4th in our group this morning. A few 100 points behind Andreas and his London Cyclist blog team, and far behind Used to Be Something and those Silly Commuter Racers. Damn them all! We all need to some serious mileage this weekend if we're not going to fall permanently behind.

Maybe we could all do some kind of epic forum ride together to bump us up en masse? Hackney to Old Street, that kind of thing.

People keep on joining and not putting there miles down. Making it harder and harder to win. Put your miles down!

Would it help if this had a 'sticky' so it was always up on the board? I mean we could win a whole £150 (for the server like).

That is only 120miles! I hope.

Why is everybody in this thread so obsessed with cycling a lot?

That is only 120miles! I hope.

Maybe v is going back to brghton after the end?

(or maybe he's got his km and miles mixed up?!)

oli am I to take it you are in another team?!

Paris-fucking-Roubaix.. 175miles. Not to work though, oh well.

Nice. Did you log it anyway?

Can't really be bothered.. unless I'm missing something, anyone could just log silly miles to 'win' the thing.

It's not the winning that matters... It's the coloured stars.

Signed up and logged some miles for last week, not many (was only out on the bike 2 days) but 'every little helps' and will be more this week. Go team!

Has anyone pointed out that, technically, you should get more points for riding fixed?
