Hey Ollie. I've ben out of cycling for a while - I screwed my back and cycling was making it worse, so I had to knock it on the head completely for more than a couple of years.
But I'm BACK! With a new set of TwinRails on order for my trusty Charge, I'll be back on a fixie by next week!! :-)

A friend of mine posted this to Facebook 4 hrs ago...
"Just missed seeing an accident at back of St. Pancras / Kings Cross bridges. Cyclist lying on the ground, bike bent up. Definitely just missed it as the traffic is backed up but not by much. Cyclist was talking to people standing around so I'm hoping it's OK. Feeling shaken and not like getting on my bike anytime soon..."
I asked the exact location and she described it as:
"Under the bridge on St Pancras Road, corner of Midland Road, behind St Pancras stn."
She also added, "By the way, car drivers. If traffic is stopped and not going anywhere, using your horn is unnecessary. There could be someone lying in the road in front of you, like there is now."

I haven't been to the site in ages - everything bike-related has been put on hold due to buying an old house needing a lot of love and so I've become a builder in my spare time. However, entirely by accident, I found this collection of frankly bizarre bicycles created by Italian designer Gianluca Gimini whilst searching for something completely different and I thought it needed to be shared somewhere.
He asked people to draw a bicyle from memory - and then turned a number of those drawings into actual bikes. They're not all entirely structurally sound and some look a little uncomfortable to ride, but it's a thought-provoking set of designs and well worth a browse. Enjoy.

The site's changed a lot in look, but the general categories seem the same, so I'm just posting this under General - please move if it belongs elsewhere.

Words fail me...
Although I will NOT be making one of these stupid things as my next build project.
