    This will be the fourth Wayfarer tour of the Chilterns, so more fgss members this time. Travel news, engineering work on the Met line. See my post (16) for train times.

    Come on they need to be exposed,who are they. They are a menace to new fixed riders. Maybe I could go round there on my converted road frame, and they could tell me what I have been doing wrong for the last eighteen years.

    As above, another great Wayfarer ride. Sorry I had to bail out part way round. Made it home with the help of London Midland . Note to other forum members large kite referred to is a Red Kite a large bird of prey. It is worth a ride out to the Chilterns just to watch the Kites. Sorry watching to much Bill Oddy

    Cog-U-Like Cogs-R-Us Then I had this brilliant idea BIKE SHED.Set up a national chain of shops with distinctive orange and black colour scheme. Eye watering prices. Staffed entirely by spoty 17 year olds with absolutely no knowledge or interest in cycling.( OK I know this is ageist and complexionist,but im a grumpy old sod).This is such a great idea may be some one has thought of it already.

    Just seen this thread. Spa cycles , use them a lot. Never had a problem. They run a double page ad in the C.T.C mag worth looking at if you know any members, as it has some items different to there web site. Phone your order in there friendly and helpful. Currently using pair of there wheels .RIgida Chrina and Zenith hubs.OK not very sexy ,BUT tough and reliable.
