Hmm...
I was pretty sure that it was illegal to sell a bike without the pre-requisite bell and reflecters, but owning a bike without them wasn't such a big deal.
Will, you must have seen the thread on moving target about the HGV/Cyclist safty days, yeah? Reckon this was a part of that? Funnily enough, the first thing Selimski said when he saw it was that he was going to ahve to put his break back on....

Hey y'all, not sure when your bridges ride starts, but you should at least be able to fit in the Fluffy Cat and the 6 for a 5er before it. Whether it's a good idea to ride that many bridges after that many beers...
I can out awesome your 531.
My bike is curved 531.
That's like 531 in sexy underwear, if you ask me.

I haven't seen Jos on the road in yonks, reckon with the bike shop business he's too busy for Metro, although getting a Metro rider would be ace, they cover so much more distance than most couriers.
My only comment on this sort of thing is it seems like alot of really grainy video gets made this way, but if your putting a nice camera on a bike the chances are goo that it'll not come through the experience too well.
Will is a camera guru and a courier, perhaps he's a good bet.

Just read last weeks post about the rude courier girl...
Any clue who she is? I thought I knew everyone (especially the girls) on the road, at least to the point where a description triggered something.
Ok, she was super super rude, but surely your reaction is a bit much. Piss in her face? Come on, no matter what her sexual preference is she's a girl, and there is somethings you really shouldn't say about/to women.
Maybe i'm just too small town of a girl, though.

THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!
Team Totally Awesome are having a day of drinking and games to convince all you all to be more awesome.
It'll be on the fifteenth of november, in London Fields and will include:
The Great Big Fluffy Cat
a race for people who don't race, a race for people who do race but have NEVER won.Track Stand Stare Down
A track stand competition and a staring contest all in one. First to blink or put a foot down looses, winner moves on to the next roundThe 6 For A Fiver, Mate
Can you say team beer sprints? I knew you could! You will need to form a team of three for this, so start practising your chugging and riding skills with your two best mates.The House Of Pistard Sanctioned Skid Skittles
word has it you might want to bring a bucket of water with you.Meet at london fields at one, it'll be a jam packed day of AWESOMENESS!!!!
Prizes will be by TEAM TOTALLY AWESOME, because corporate sponsorship isn't awesome. Although you should buy everything that House of Pistard has ever made, cause it's cool and it keeps Xander off the streets and away from small children.
It's £5 for a whole day of fun, plus we'll hole up in a bar somewhere after (a bar with kareoke, hopefully!) after. Don't forget it's £10 for ADBC members, due to their general lack of awesomeness.
See you there!
PS, sorry for posting this in the wrong place the first time, it wouldn't let me start a new thread, and I didn't see that I was in the bike polo bit till it was too late. Muppet.

"'notorious pink bike girl' was that you sat on the steps as i came out of my office last week?
thought i noticed a pink bike, mine was gold..."oh yeah! was that on g. marb? I was writting courier haiku...
BTW bill, not all couriers are ungratefull, at least at cyclone we seem to take care of each other to some extent. There's a great food round robin happening at lawerences desk....
I bake vegan choc chip cookies an in return I get camden pick ups ;-) -

Umm...wow. Yes, very very flattered.
I am a courier, I work for cyclone, I'm sorta married but very single, ride a very pink bike, and am not sure I qualify for tall and skinny, but am flattered none the less.
I am so so sorry if I wasn't as friendly to you on the street corner, yorge, my controller and I just had another blow out on the radio and I was trying not to take it personaly. Normally i'm very friendly, I promise!
Bike polo sounds fun, but as I re-break my elbow every few months I don't reckon I'll be doing it for a bit.
I know this is once again off subject....especialy on this forum...but do you know who count basey is?
