nah - i'll be pedalling there

Dodge/daftness alert: Yesterday afternoon I spotted a lovely turquoise Bob Jackson, small frame, parked outside the Brixton McDonalds with the key left in its lock - house keys also attached.

I hope whoever left it this way had a lucky escape, but the likelihood is it's now being ridden by a guy seven times too big for it with streamers billowing out the bar ends.

This belonged to a friend - and she's gutted as might well be expected
Here's a couple of crappy photos

Audax frame - 20" mavic rims campag throughout
If you see it could you give her a call ?

Thanks!

Finally gave up on running cottered cranks on my old Claud Olympic Sprint. They looked the part but the endless hammering and spannering to keep them tight took it's toll. Just fitted a Sugino Maxy Chainset from http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopcrank.html
(brilliant - next day delivery) and it runs so sweet I can't imagine why / how I lasted so long on the old cotters...

Day off and heading south-west to Peckham and our meeting with the
Southwark Refugee Committee Forum last Tuesday 18 March at about 12
noon, Rotherhithe New Road was all taped off under the Bermondsey
Bridge. I spoke to a CSO. He told me a woman cyclist had been killed by
a lorry earlier that morning. I followed the Galleywall Road diversion.

Jon Surtees article on page 2 of yesterday's Southwark News. 30 year old
woman cyclist crushed between an Economic Waste Management skip lorry
and the pavement railings here:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=534919&Y=178339&A=Y&Z=1

I spoke to Jon yesterday. No cyclist name yet released.

The cyclist was apparently heading north up Ilderton Road and turning
left onto Rotherhithe New Road just after 9am as the lorry overtook and
hit her.

The driver has been arrested for causing death by dangerous driving.

Simon Hughes MP is asking the Council to review the junction.

Angry local residents quoted how they regularly see lorries fly (sic)
round the junction.

On the way home from a Friends of Burgess Park* meeting last night I
stopped at the spot to read the cards etc on the 6 or so wreaths there.

Colleagues notes there show that Nga (no surname quoted) was a nurse in
the Guy's Nuffield unit.

A card from her mother says how proud she was when Nga made her a granny.

Ilderton Road and the area is notorious for speeding lorries and this
junction is much too fast. Our questions to Southwark Council (Paul
Noblet especially) about why similar new railings are going in on
Southwark Park Road/Grange Road/Long Lane as those on Walworth Road come
out have never been answered.

It's too early yet to know what really happened last Tuesday morning but
we'll ask Southwark for a full review of this dreadful incident and that
junction.

And of course all our thoughts go to Nga's family, friends and colleagues.

man that sounds shit - drivers should have to spend a week cycling before being allowed on the road
it's like if two people behaved like that walking down the sreet it'd be an assult
i was keen for the ride but the dark and the rain amd getting older etc
hope y'all get home safe

nah the bus will be vile....
left at 7 in work at 7.30 and hardly a thing on the roads
it's not so bad just wet :)

it's all happenning at lidl next week
