And I'm re-hashing the eminent Mr Snob.

Terrorists on their way to work?

I rely on my skin colour, facial hair and sometimes a balaclava to reinforce this.

First time I had seen this one. Immaculate.

my suggestion:

over Hammersmith Bridge (as detailed on this route via Barnes)

1>[ame]http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/West-London-BBCish-to-Richmond-Park[/ame

[/ame]

2>Through Shepherd's Bush (Iffley Road> Lena Gardens >Blythe Road > Addison Gardens through Notting Hill (ladbroke road>bayswater>moscow road> HYDE PARK (bayswater gate)>out through the park at PARK LANE/Brook Street gate>Grosvenor Square>Bond Street>Burlington Row>Across Regent Street...

I would show you how to do this on bikely, but i don't remember the interslice knowledge to create new routes.

*Advantages *of the above route: mainly quiet except Hamm Bridge and a small bit near Holland Park avenue.
Disadvantages: might not be the shortest distance/Ken gardens closes at dusk

At present my wife thinks that I spend my evenings looking at Redtube and Youporn. Imagine how shocked she would be if a civil servant were to tell her that I spent my time chatting away with you lot.

Your wife knows!
Splitter!

SSL or otherwise - I'm indifferent. I only come to the site at work/home.

I'm sure other *LFGSScustomers *have phone/mobile requirements.

how bent is this wheel?

I assume you can ride, but there is a wobble?

I also assume you are unable to true the wheel. If it is capable of being trued for a few days, bound to be safe!

i look forward to your law suit against me...

....Map seems to start outside my house...

I swear teenslain, I'm no stalker.

....And the map doesn't start in HH, its a SW9fail.

Remember, the rider has to allude to going to Herne Hill, rather than actually going.

a lot, but I thought other forum chaps/chappesses would know the best *hipster *routes

In honour of bike snob,
http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2008/10/no-getting-around-it-cycling-and.html

Would anyone like to nominate the London equivalent of his *Hipster Silk Route.

• I nominate **Herne Hill to Stamford Hill **(via Old Street of course!)
  
  

This way one can suggest one has been to velodrome, ride slowly through Clerkenwell on to Old Street and engage with the orthodox Jewish community once having passed Stokey N. Bike snob's NYC route has the hipsters and the orthodox crew in some sort of conflict which is why I consider this element crucial

Of course my elders and betters on the forum will make the final call

....I'd neg Arvy for negging you.

I didn't neg! or I don't think I did. I think Oper negged him. * The explain yourself arvy *is, I hope, a request to explain my cryptic message to Skully. Which I have probably failed to do above.

On the red/blue/green. Some people who are colour-blind have difficultly between red/green blocks!

Only joined yesterday. I have never negged anyone. Yet.

Explain yourself arvy.

...The iplayer 11 thing was something they told people about -but didn't tell people about - when it was released. Maybe I'm too media or too ironic, but there was a bit of fuss (or smugness) about it on "launch" -http://snipurl.com/4lgto

apologies for the repost...I tried to search for the said item (using a number of items), but could find no reference to it.

I'm off to rediscover my site:search balance...

15mins in.

A discussion of why couriers are one of the few people that do the same thing in AND out of work.

An academic opinion on the same.

I know not everyone on the forum is a courier, (but you all might want to be), but an interesting discussion never the less, even though the word "sub-culture" is used once too often! And also the potential of more bankers becoming couriers!

All Silver (Chrome) fixed (including all silver drop bars). 3 spoke cards.

Was walking with a mate and went "oo-wee".
A girl walking past thought I was talking about her; she realised I wasn't 10 seconds later.

"Hipster Cyst"

That's why it's important to check your bike for warning signs. Think of it as the equivalent of a home breast exam

Personally - rode one, really didn't like it. The Alu-Carbon mix just didn't work for me.

Steel all the way since.

there is more to life than langster...& similarly priced alternatives available have been discussed:

However I have to fess, I own another specialized (single speed centrum) and I look forward to the "Vegas" version of that!

.....edit... I definitely think they serve their purpose (except for the horrible city-themed versions!).

Vegas anyone?

Link above to some sale bits. Rapha tops
Jerseys, Jackets and Tops.

(I was sent the email this morning, so have no idea how "secret" this sale is.

Hipster flask cages.

Truly lovely idea.
Point of information, I tried to give MA3K some +ve for this, but because i'm too much of a hipster I think it ironic to hit the wrong button
