2011-07-16/17 Sat/Sun - Dunwich Dynamo DD19

They just snapped. Only a few grazes thankfully, I guess I should count myself lucky it didn't happen 5 minutes earlier when I'd been coming down the hill from Hampstead.

hey all..Im getting well worried that the coach aint happening! When will we know by!!!?!?!?!?!

katie-coo said the second couch isn't happening. If you really want to do it, still do! there are train stations all around so you can always have a snooze on the beach before riding to one of those.

i have a train question: if we book in advance from say, Ipswich to Liverpool Street (currently £18), and we miss the specific train we've booked for, will the ticket still be valid? and if not, are you likely to get busted?

Technically your ticket is valid for only that specific train. It depends on whether or not there is a ticket inspector on the train and how strict he/she is. I've seen someone on another line get caught for being on a different train and he just paid the difference for a full price ticket on the day.

If there's no ticket inspector then the barriers will most probably let you through at either end regardless of the time.

possibly sustained an ankle injury today... it may be okay but will know more tomorrow... :(

how did you hurt your ankle? hope its all ok

did you manage to try your set of hex things for the saddle bolt on one of the barclays bikes?

and tom K&E hope you and bike is ok for next week too!

The bike I was planning on bringing, earlier;

hiptard: i heard all the cool kids are chopping their bars down

you're doing it wrong

but srsly, glad you're ok

long story, but essentially was towing another bike beside the one i was riding, handlebars got snagged and i came down on the ankle with a pretty huge impact. it didn't twist, but i can still feel it all the way up through my pelvis.

i tried the hex key yesterday and it fits! now to decide whether to change the saddles or not...

are the saddle rails the same as diameter/spread as standard saddle rails is of course the next question :P all well and good getting one off, but fitting a replacement is another matter...

^ there's always one...

can you change the pedals also? straps or clipless would make it a fair bit easier....

you should also put some lighter wheels on and maybe motor :p

yes, same.

no, i was thinking about retrofitting straps but i think that would be proper cheating...

if hoogerland can finish today's stage after crashing into a barbed wire fence. then i have absolutely no excuse for not finishing really.

that man is HARD.

To be honest, it could be much worse if it happened next weekend on an unlit road when you're tired, so consider yourself lucky.

hmm, head of tfl press is following me on twitter.

^ for good, we are interested in what you are doing an would like to use it to promote our service, type reasons? Or bad, we know what you are doing and will arrest you for stealing one of our bikes as soon as you leave the greater London area, type reasons?

Is there a line you cross and then the transport cops pounce on you?! Inconvenient if you live right on the edge of London!

This is going to be your 15 minutes.

its ok. in the event econodog gets nabbed by tfl cops, plan b will swing into action...

What that grime rapper whomturned into a sodding pub crooner in the dying throes of the pop-soul revival?

if they are following you on twitter get talking to them. still a week to convince them!
