Gonna try one soon...

There is something to be said about the popularity of anything bringing along the douchebags along with people who are genuinely chill and just want to ride their bikes, whatever such bikes may be.

I have seen people do silly things on the road trying to bike faster than conditions allow. I think everyone in the world probably pulled a stunt on the road after which they thought - "Now, that was stupid." I imagine some of the animosity between bikers and drivers does have to do with the fact that there are plenty douchebags pedaling and driving.

Anyway, I think there are plenty of good things that com out of more people riding, probably more than what is negative or annoying. As I meet ore and more people who ride in different cities, I realize that there are too many cool people who could fit a certain stereotype, but don't. I have run into messengers, road racers, commuters and hipsters who are fantastic people, and others who are just complete asses. I don't particularly care about what someone does for a living, what kind of frame or bag or cog they have. What matters the most is whether you are good company on the road and on a pub.

So, Jos, I'd take you up on that chat, but not just to debate the finer points of cycling anthropology. I am just always up for a ride and a cold one.

You too, Bill. I gotta buy you a beer to thank you for pointing me this way through the 'Stache.

How about meet at Brick lane around 2, and ride to Plumstead? The bonus would be that I know where Brick lane is, and knowing where things are makes me feel all grown up.

I can see now.

No wonder the cabbie acted like that.

I just woke up, and will try to adjust my chain tension and take it for a long test ride. Gonna be around for a while, or can check my eail on ny blackberry if anyone wants to join.

It's a plan.

I am getting off work soon and will probably hit a pub with an intent to ride thereafter. I have no preference of route, speed or anything else, as long as I am on my bike and with (new) friends.

If anyone wants to go, whisper me your number here, or send it to me at alex.miranda at the google email thingamajig.

Ohhhhh..... ride! Quicky ride... I was thinking something else.

Nevermind. Not that kind of forum.

It used to happen to me too, when I switched bikes. After a while, it stopped, as if I could feel wich bike I was wearing.

I definitely want to try to make it

I was gonna go, but I got side tracked to yet another bar, and never made it. Maybe we should try an easter event. Rabbit roast and beer anyone?

great ride guys. we should definitely plan a few more, maybe make a regular night for them *different pub every time, perhaps, so that the rides have an even greater purpose).

You guys are crazy and you are going to get killed.

I'm in!

Count me in! Where I hail from they used to do friday midnight rides (AKA dateless wonders night)

Great biking scenes:

Don't forget http://www.fastermustache.org, in Atlanta. That is actually where I found out about London FG/SS (though a post linking to Moving Target... the web is incestuous like that).
