London Clarion 1894 members...

Yes! It's not a proper leftwing group if there isn't splintering. Baggsy I get to start the female caucus that likes cake, ink AND wants to ride.

Would we have to cancel rides every time the EDF (fight the power! What an idiot, I meant EDL) goes on a march? And do we all have to be trade union members or are fellow travellers also welcome?

Would love to join, but I'm miles away.

This is a very dangerous thread. Winter will soon be upon us and here you all are with your left leaning tendencies.

Don't lean.

Curious when new more radical members join in and get rid of the class enemy.

Anyone know about getting badges embroidered?

Yes! Girl Guide link...I know somewhere that will do a fairly limited run too, say something like 50. Will dig(ger) out details and let you have them.

so what's next just apply? have skimmed forum but boss is getting pi**ed with me looking at bike related subject matter 90% of my work time.

Wow these lefty cyclists must be big pie chompers - the small size jersey is 40in

Looks like I'm going to have to split and start the "Patches and wants to ride" faction.

I could screenprint t-shirts (assuming you're referring to the size) or cloth patches. Maybe with the bike angel image?

either I missed it somewhere in this topic or I can't find the date for this ride?

I didn't read any of this thread

It was 1895, mate, you missed it.

1895? Is that five to seven?

all I found was 4th October, but that all I found.

Well, I'll be wearing my Clarion 1895 jersey at Blackfriars tonight - does that count?

T-shirts for riding are a no go. Patches interest me though.

There is no date set as they will only start turning 'their' pedals once the revolution starts

Until then we capitalists were making a list so we could monitor 'their' every movement. Thanks to the obsessive list making on this forum our job is done. As a result we have begun negotiations to lay off all of our list compilers. They have immediately decided capitalism has failed them, formed a union and gone on strike.

I think I saw Comrade Clarion at the Blackfriars flashride. Shouted 'boots!' as customary, but it might have sounded more like 'boo!' in all the hubbub. I was riding the Foffa, which I ride to remind myself of the cruelties of capitalism and the plight of our brothers under the iron fist of Berlusconi...

Ah. I thought I heard a 'Boots!', but I wasn't sure in the crowd from whence it came. I managed a feeble 'Spurs!', but it may not have reached you. I rode across the bridge and back with a member of this forum - very personable and amusing chap - but I can't for the life of me recall his name, I'm ashamed to say.

Good turn out for a good cause.

ha.. badges, ink, branding. Like planning a revolution and wondering what to wear for the post-campaign photo-shoot!

What about starting with some rides... maybe a saunter round/out of town finishing at Karl Marx's grave in Highgate cemetary followed by a couple of beers? Been meaning to go there and check it out since I've been in London-just an idea, I'm sure there's a lot more places of interest that are topical also.

^ This. The leader of the chartists is in Abney Park, William Blake is just off City Road South, and that's just the cemeteries off the top of my head - there are lots of options if we wanted to tour important sites for the labour movement - meeting at Cable Street, perhaps?

I would have stopped to chat, but I arrived at about 5.42 and the stream of bicycles was coming thick and fast by that point! Thought it best to join the column further back. I was amazed by how many of us there were - the bridge was covered end to end - and so densely packed! I think if we'd spread out a bit more, we could have completed blocked both directions, and done laps cycle-speedway style. That might get a bit of attention - I was disappointed to not see any news cameras.
