Gotta mate who is looking for a singlespeed bike, he's a big chap and needs a frame about 60cm, he went to the usual bike shops but non have any in, he tried a few smaller sizes, but think it'll be uncomfortable pretty soon.

He's got a budget, ideally wanting something with bullhorns, and pretty tidy. Didn't see anything in this section when had a quick look.

Cheers.

Typical, the one day I leave the golf pants home and it's pissing down, morning was lush... Damn this weather.

Cheers fella, that would be useful, even if just for initial visuals.
my email is tom@thedesignconspiracy.com

Yeah, i was thinking it would be much like doing a micro site, design time wise, so gonna quote on it from that perspective.

I know there are a few fellow creatives on here, have any of you designed an App for the touch/iPhone?

I have proposed this solution for a pitch we are going to be involved in, and the pitch partner has asked for a budget proposal, thing is, never done one and wondered what sort of design time (not developer build) these things take? It will not be a massive app, probably broken down into 4 sections.

Anyone got the knowledge I need? Much appreciated.

Sorry, I was absent also, just missed a train back from Brighton after a photoshoot, got back at 7!!
Have read the above, will check the website.

Just linked to this from David's email, I have a studio in Covent Garden off Drury Lane, but can only do Wednesday. Have a large space and did have an idea for a guerilla type campaign?

A top tune from my Manchester days.

YouTube - Robert Owens I'll Be Your Friend

Um, pushing left with your right hand and going left is just normal steering. I think that's what DFP meant?

Pushing left with your right hand and going right is counter steering.

Oh yeah, sorry, not concentrating.

dunno how to embed...

Most do it without realising they do it, more experianced riders will be more aware of it, I didn't realise it was as effective on a bike as i is on a motor bike.

DFP, Push left with RIGHT hand.

Ok, it only works when travelling over 12mph or so, but if you push left with your right hand, the bike will steer to the left and visa versa.

Anyone use this technique when riding at speed?
Been training for my bike test and it's one of the things they teach, never thought about it for use on the fixed, had a little dabble riding back last night, and if you're spinning, it makes corners much smoother.

Just spotted these...

Full of admiration for Wiggins, think he has had a great race.
I think the miles might have taken too much of a toll for a big gap buster tomorrow though?
Still, should be exciting.

Interesting listening to 606 they said "Today wasn't about breaking the Schlecks for Astana, it looks like it was about getting Bradley out of top 3 because he is the threat."

Just bought a D80 - in fact asked about this very camera on here!
Shame, as I would have snapped your hand off, ended up getting mine from the US with multiple lenses, good luck selling it. There are plenty of buyers on Ebay and Gumtree.

Interested to read this tread, I like most cycle daily and for leisure, I also go to the gym 3 - 4 days a week, 2 days I do Gung Fu training, and try do 2 days weights. Started the Gung Fu in Jan, since then I have dropped a stone in weight, and am currently about 9.5 and 5' 9", would taking a protien shake make a difference, I am thinking I might be too thin, but eat plenty. Not very clued up on supplements etc?

I've got the horn(s), great for long and short rides, good choice of positions, I've got 38cm Nitto RB-018 as not keen on them with a drop, nice width for traffic too.

Don't pull up. Just push down with your back foot.

Gotta say this method works best for me, had ops on both knees and find this keps them working!

I thought it was much closer to me in Covent Garden, looked like Endell ST from our roof, guess the wind is blowing it over!

I edited the link to go back and find this myself, hope no one else did this at work!!!
Quite an eyefull!!!

Very brave post indeed, I still don't understand why people pass down the left, or get ahead of vehicles, I for one make sure the driver can see me, it's a survival instinct?

I hope your partner can come to terms with this awful event.

Got no chips, but did suffer cable rub on my s/s bitsa which our lass now rides on the trainer as an exercise bike. Planning on braking up and selling, need more space in the flat and I have a £1500 MTB gathering dust, gonna stick a slick on the back and she can use that to exercise on. So might have some wheels and bits to flog soon.

Got this email at lunch about this, terrible, and I hate to say it, but the fatalities are mostly women, this one looked like she knew how to ride, the pics show she was wearing cycling shoes, surly she must of known the dangers of passing on the left?

Cracking day, longest I have ridden fixed, and didn't find it too tough, the first 20 miles was sooooo slow due to the amount of people, had an 8am slot, had to queue on the first 2 hills? The last 30+ miles I did in 1:45 and got about 200 meters from the top of the Beacon, but couldn't turn the 46/17 any more, got pink arms today!! Saw a fellow fixed rider at the top, he too pushed the last bit, said hello, he loked to be enjoying himself.
