2011-04-03 Sun - Cambridge ride. Fixed-wheel bicycle required

^
yep.
i'm now in for the gsiad as well.

darn! we will be riding from berlin to london at that time

That sounds great fun!

I'm moving to Berlin in a few weeks and I was thinking about doing a tour of London-Berlin via Amsterdam and Essen over the summer. Can I ask what route you're taking? It seems like there are plenty of beautiful long cycle paths on the continent.

Dude, when are you moving? You have to meet us there and cycle some of the way with us. We get there on May 2 and start cycling back on May 5.

ohhhh..... I really want in but I doubt I can do the 8th... Am supposed to be doing it Sunday actually, but my body is still a little tired and my shoulder's a mess. Not sure how my shoulder has taken the brunt of the ride?!

why does everyone leave just after I meet them?!

Shoulder: Bars not at the right height?

I think she pulled a muscle pushing CB off his bike

:d

Why does that make people leave?

@Shinigami:

Alas, I have a flight booked for 2nd May and I think I will be without my bike for a few weeks until I've found somewhere to live. sadface Your cycle sounds much more fun than being stuck on a plane!

DM me though if you fancy a drink while you're visiting. :)

think it's more combo of bad desk position and left shoulder messenger bag.. after four years of carrying too many changes of clothes, make up and tools it seems to have resulted in something painful...maybe I'll leave the eyeliner at home for the next long ride...

pah! I barely even sneezed on him and he toppled over...

it's ok, you can always borrow mine...

Dude! Our flight is booked for May 2 as well!! Around 10 am. We won't be cycling much while in Berlin, just getting wrecked and eating chicken. Save our legs for the ride back.

Dude, I am also on a 10am flight. How bizarre! I'm on the Lufthansa flight from Heathrow.

Maybe we could meet up before you leave Berlin and I could cycle out a few miles with you? I'm definitely going to have to bring my bike out with me now. :D

Sorry, just rechecked, we're on the 8:50am flight. BA.

We're starting the ride from this place

YouTube - Big Stu - Hühnerhaus

Ahh, in lovely Kreuzberg! That's where I'll be looking for a place to live. I keep hearing about how great the food is there, I can't wait to get involved in some falafel.

Very kind, thankyou. I know a couple of people out there so I'm hoping I can find somewhere quite fast, but I'll certainly be in contact if it all goes wrong!

I'll keep an eye out for Sumo then. Would be lovely to start my life in a new country with a bit of London fixed gear fun!
