They approved it initially, before Ealing Cycling Campaign pointed out what the problem was. This is old but: http://lcc.org.uk/articles/mcdonalds-appeal-against-safe-superhighway-dismissed

About time. Peter Mynors of ECC deserves a medal for his efforts on that. Or a new bike.

The only good thing about these is they make me speed up when one approaches from behind to escape the stupid things.

The lights alone are perfectly good, and the founder is a very affable and competent woman, but I can't see how the green laser thing does anything beyond distract and confuse (primarily other cyclists). I don't know what TfL were thinking.

Serious beesniss.
Am enquiring about beekeeping courses instead, think that might be a safer approach. Bees are, after all, not just for Christmas.

Thanks! I did actually utfs but looked for beekeeping (one word) because I am illiterate.

I'm considering buying my dad an apiary for a combined 70th birthday/Christmas present. Given that I have left it a bit late to do any proper research, anyone have any suggestions for a good starter kit?

Sorry you couldn't make it @ChainBreaker :(

Good to see everyone else and meet @mattioats, heal up soon!

I'll be there about half six too I think.

I am wearing my Christmas jumper especially.

Buses also have CCTV, in case any were in the vicinity at the time...

Oh god. Hope you're OK - shout if you need anything.

Anyone got a 19" hardtail around £500 for sells? My brother in law's on the lookout.

Thanks. I downloaded MapMyRun today and used it for a km of my run home before I gave up (long story). Then I told them I didn't like it because of the infuriating adverts. Now deleted.

Now on a bus. Not the greatest start but tomorrow is another day.

I've been super lazy/greedy for the last four months and have lost all motivation for doing anything other than sitting around and eating cake so I need a new thing. Thinking a running streak (at least a mile a day) to Christmas might do it. Any recommended apps for tracking runs beyond Strava/whatever the Nike one is called these days?

oh god my head is broken.

Am impressed but saddened by this news.

Many people are here, it is very excellent.

After extensive research I've come to the conclusion it was probably an alpaca. Lovely to meet you, enjoy France!

In. Good work T4.

Yo @KC!

This isn't a ride but I'm not sure it warrants a separate thread and I couldn't work out where else to put it. Anyway, Assos are doing a women's night (I'm afraid I have no idea what that means, but apparently there will be prosecco 😐) at LMNH on Monday. Unclear whether the Assos lady will be there or not.

Mild heckling aside, it might be good, and it's always fun to meet other women who like bikes. I don't think I can make it but thought I'd share. http://www.lookmumnohands.com/events/womens-cycling-celebration-with-assos

Edit: that was supposed to be a separate post rather than a reply to @mildew but seeing as it's local I guess it's relevant :) welcome!

Just in case anyone else needs inspiration for a ride I ended up doing Herne Bay (and train back) via @pootsmanuva's route from here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/228047/

Really good route! In my head that bit of Kent is all full of dual carriageways and industrial estates but there were loads of really lovely lanes and vineyards and orchards. And it was flat. Recommended.

(Though not sure I'd recommend the shared use path from Whitstable to Herne Bay on August Bank Holiday. Nice to see lots of families out on bikes though.)

Actually having just looked at the train fares I might attempt Whitstable and back instead. I am pretty unfit though so this may go horribly wrong.

Edit: or Canterbury! Somewhere in that general direction, anyway.

Think I'm doing Margate tomorrow if anyone fancies joining me.
