The only bike reference I remember in a William Gibson novel was a laminated paper frame ridden by a courier.

Not much room for adjustment there.

If you have absolutely nothing else in your life that is stressful, you'll be able to cope with this landlord, but otherwise I'd be careful.

That comprehensively rules me out, then.

Sounds like a great flat, with a serious flaw.

Was in Norwich this weekend, saw a lovely old chrome Bianchi chained up near The Bell. Anyone on here?

I'm down there a lot - we should arrange a ride one weekend.

Guys, apparently a presidential candidate just baked me a pie.

2 gear fixed? Black magic!

I've got a funny knee thing going on since the crash, will see if I can make it down.

I really like that Bob Jackson, about right for a 6' 2" ish lad like myself, no?

What is with those drop-outs, though? Should I be suspicious, or pleased?

I'd love to watch this, could pop into Brockwell Park - I live right next to it. Not sure who's in there at night though.

photoben One of the best drunk/stoned conversations I ever had was that we should get rid of all the tube trains and have an underground cycle network, with hire bikes at each station. It would be wicked. Perhaps I should suggest that to Ken.

I would absolutely love this, can we have one, please?

I can see it from both angles - to chase up every theft and crime to a happy conclusion would cost billions more than their budget allows, so I understand why stolen bikes don't get recovered.

Also, running red lights is illegal - we may all do it occasionally, but we shouldn't be surprised if we get fined.

Not that I enjoy fines or stolen bikes...

Funny story, I have actually had pig cum on myface.

but that is completely different story.

Woah woah... did we miss something here???????[/quote]

The pig obviously didn't miss

TheBrick(Tommy) Did you know a pigs cock is curly like it's tail.

Strange but true.

I think this is a story we all want to hear

I'm freelance self-employed, which isn't as complex. I spent months worrying about it, then finally asked for some help from a family member who knows about this stuff and it wasn't too bad. Far simpler than I thought it would be.

Don't pay someone too much to do it.

I would be interested, but it's a little small.

Oxford Street was closed off today. Looked like a bus had hit something/someone, maybe a cyclist.

Does anyone know what happened, and if everyone involved was OK?

Bike was OK, but I lost the jacket on the way home. Not sure how to feel about that...

Nice idea, i'll come along.

Had to leave the bike in Soho square tonight - no fit state to ride. Lets hope it's there tomorrow.

Not too bad thanks. I've got sore patches, and I get annoyed every time I see my coat, but like provenrad says; at least I've got all my teeth!

I took a corner way too fast on the way into work this morning, going through a park. I hit some mud, then moments later I also hit the floor, with my face. And knee. And Arse. And shoulder of my lovely Howies jacket. Now they all have little holes in them. I am very pissed off.

That is all.

By far the most sensible plan I've heard is to tax petrol more heavily, and scrap road tax and congestion charges altogether.

The further you drive, the more fuel you use, the more tax you pay. Similarly, if you drive a less economical car you automatically pay more tax.

Simple, and it cuts out hundreds of bureaucratic jobs, which is probably why it will never happen.

The congestion charge covers the last two miles of my commute only, and central London is always going to be busy, what with very wealthy people/commercial vehicles.

Extend it to the M25, and maybe I can have some fresh air on my way into work.

Forget this reduced congestion charge for smaller cars, too - only electric cars should be exempt. I know the long-tailpipe problem, but this is about congestion and quality of air in the city, where I do all my breathing...
