when you spend half your day on this website rather than doing what you get paid to do

Tell me about it. I'm waiting to get fired because of these forums. "Marisa, that paper work...did you finish it?"

"Um yeah, about that..."

edit But truly, I'm a damn good employee.

Somehow I managed to get my stem loose enough to swing the opposite way of my wheel as I was coming to a stop, and over I went. Damage: Face, arms, tummy, left leg elbow, ripped shirt. Result: Two black eyes, road rash on my face, arms and leg....and a new shirt.

I work in an office as an Assistant, and also do their International Customer Service. I'm going to school for Photography and eventually creative writing. If I had it my way, I'd have atleast one book under my belt.

^haha. The weather here is nice around that time I will say that. But so is change. I'll be sure to pack wisely this time. Eeeks.

I must say, the fail thread on any forum peps me right up. You'll hear a little giggle from time to time coming from my cubicle.

^ Yes, I have to say I am pretty fortunate to have a job in the current state that we're in. Then again, it would be nice to be outside on these sunny days.

I really like the forum a lot, glad I joined! Just wish it was February already.

^Thank you! I'll look into that....No British charm for me. Perhaps I can bat these eyelashes?

Hello hello. I'm Marisa, 25 from LA. I ride a converted Nishiki at the moment that I've been riding for almost a year now, and onto a new project. Very new to this forum, so bare with me. I originally joined in order to meet other riders when I'm traveling. I'm planning a trip for February, it will be the first time out of the states with my bike. I was in London about 6 years ago, and aching to go back. Hopefully I will have the pleasure of meeting some of you when I visit. I know this post is useless without pictures, but I'm in the office at the moment and don't have much saved to this computer. Soon...

I plan on visiting in February. It's been quite a while (about 6 years). I stayed with a friend who was living out there at the time, so I can't say how much it would be now to lodge. I suppose a hostile will be my best bet huh? Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll be making this trip alone or not, but it would be nice to meet up and ride with some of you:) Any and all advice/suggestions are very much appreciated!

I've never been out of the states with my bike before, London will be the first trip, does it cost much to do so?

I've heard its pretty difficult to be a cyclist out there, I'm from LA and I think that people just plain and simple are not even paying attention out here, they're on the phone, doing their makeup, changing a song....or dumb.

There have been so many incidents where drivers try to speed up and scare a rider and then end up hitting them on accident. Phone drivers are the worst. I went to cross the street one time when I noticed this lady in a nice Jag on her cell inching out of the parking garage only looking one way, I sat and stared at her till finally I knew she wasn't going to see me and I slammed my hands down on the front of her hood. She looked pretty scared, I just rode away. Look both ways people. Seriously.

hippy Have you seen Human Traffic when Koop's mixing? I fscking love that movie and that scene!!

Best part ever.
