Frequent Fixed gear rides in/around london at weekend?

Hey, im from Portsmouth way and have been riding fixed gear a lot recently. I went to London last Saturday and loved it, such a fun place. I just wish I had some others to ride with!

Are there any frequent rides at the weekends just for fixed gear? I just wana go for a blast round the city.

Ive been riding/racing road bikes for few years so have the fitness to keep up with you lot I hope!

Cheers.

Dan.

p.s - im thinking about coming up to ride London this sunday if anyone is about....

Hi Dan

Welcome to the forum.

I think a regular spot we fixielords and fixieladies know we can turn up and ride with others around the city would be really cool.

A while ago this sort of thing happened lots, ma3k's rides sort of uphold this tradition. Also the christmas day ride.

I think a lot of this forum bought roadbikes & spandex and got all 'serious'. Like they're doing a 'sport' or some shit like that.

hmmm where was I? Oh yeah, about having fun on bikes ..,

Maybe there could be a regular meet on a certain night of the week, like Saturday. Quick blast around a route devised ahead or just riffed on the night, ending with beer/coffee/party or whatever's cookin in the Kerazy World Of The Cycle Scene. Maybe we could do a massive group bike tag each week - tag could be a really good way to carry this idea, come to think of it.

Great start to a thread Dan. Hope something comes of it.

Yeah this would be good. Will have a look through previous newbie rides and Within-Zone-3 type of rides and look to set something up.

A group bike tag would be GOOD FUN!

Somebody puts up 5 tags, say in zone 1 & the group have to find them.
The tags get posted up at the time of the meet, so no insider cheating & the 'Tag Master/Mistress' for that week could ride along & give clues when the group get stuck.

^ taggy-cat! Kinda

^ but then that becomes more of a race, rather than a ride…I'm selfishly saying that because I'm too old & fat to race now.

A group ride without the lycra massive sounds cool

This sounds awesome but what was the out come?

I think it became this.
