Stiil hundreds of thousands of Polaroid film in stock though...

suggested before. I think the general consensus was to yell either 'arrospok' or 'oi cunt, your bike's shit'.

This is gonna be interesting...

I am less worried about someone else's possible view of me and more so about both their safety and my own.

If you hurl abuse at them they won't think about the fact that they are wrong - they will just think the cyclist is a wanker. Yep you have to give up the satisfaction of yelling at them if you want them to remember for the next time, but that's the deal. Anger will resolve nothing, however satisfying it may feel in the heat of an argument.

If people were all just that little bit nicer to each other instead of grabbing the first opportunity to lose their temper then maybe peds would have more consideration in turn and not make the mistake in the first place.

It serves a very good purpose, it informs the pedestrian that what he or she just did it entirely unacceptable, dangerous to both of you and serves as a reminder that when you wonder into the road people are going to get very very pissed off for very good reason.

Like I say above, to not shout and make a scene is, to me at least, irresponsible. To smooth over the situation and let the pedestrian leave with the impression that 'all is fine, everyone carry on', does no good.

Maybe I am running into the idiots that you have already run into then and let wonder away with the impression that to walk into the road with a carefree abandon is 'not such a big deal'.

;P

Suggesting that you have to rant in order to inform the pedestrian that they are in the wrong does not say much for your skills of communication.

If you get the point across calmly but making sure they know they are in the wrong, then they may remember it for next time. If you just shout abuse at them, they'll just walk off thinking 'what a cunt'.

There is a gang of bike thieves in N1 area that nicked a firefighters cutting tool about a year ago. The place has been plagued with bike thefts ever since. However, they used to target bikes locked in quieter areas, so it may not be them...

... the cutting tool does go through most d locks in around 5-20 seconds though. Boooo.

Good work on the new forum, it looks ace.

This is an interesting article re: Dawkins et al.

Or get some proper rims, like Mavic Open Sport...

Better safe than sorry, I reckon... the TV show sounds great

Monmouth Coffee House is indeed ace, BUT for the very best beans or ground coffee in London, go to the Algerian Coffee Store on Old Compton St.

November was WET...but yeah good fun as well really.

Am going tonight, so holler if you see me - I will be riding my new iro that I put together a few weeks ago (look out for tall skinny bugger on a black iro). And I've committed the sin of breaking the 5th commandment: Thou shalt not put risers on your fixed wheel....

That's a pretty good deal, and Fujis are good for a first fixed. well, that's if you insist on going OTP of course...

I don't need any of it, but it's good to see people just sharing stuff they don't need anymore, rather than trying to whore it on fleabay for 50p. All together now... "ahhhhhhhh."

Sorry for the bluntness, but christ that's an ugly bike...and I'd really recommend not riding a singlespeed with a freewheel without a back brake - it is unsafe.

Ditto on the colourblind, sometimes makes the colour co-ordinate holds at the climbing wall tricky .

Is there an arrospok in that pattern somewhere?

Take them to the V&A perhaps, they'd be interested to see them. However, the sad likelihood is that if you gave them to the museum then they'd get filed away in a dusty box. I reckon you should get them framed properly or something, they really are wicked photos.

T.O.M.B Well, apologies dood, but I really enjoyed...

s'alright - but you will probably find the answer to your question in the links. I put them there for that, not to make some kind of petty internet forum point...

Yeah, 175+mm on conversion frames with nice low bottom brackets

scrrrrrrraaape....crunch

How odd - he seems to have gone quiet.

Hacked may be feeling a little hacked off at being rumbled.

Now stoppit

Get thee to a doctor/osteo/sports physio etc. There's not much medical advice that you should trust over an internet forum, and also seems as if you have tried the standard variables. Good luck.

What's all this crap about cooking the porridge oats? Daily breakfast should be raw oats, plain yoghurt, sultanas. Cooked breakfast over the weekends. Sorted.

I'll have it for sure if there are no other takers. Can pick up today or Sunday...
