@chickin: What are the details of the Manchester do on Friday?

Critical Massacre 6pm Central Library
Come in fancy dress for a spooky bike ride around our city.

Then we ride to Jackson's Boat, Rifle Road, Sale, M33 2LX

The idea of the night is to:

*bring together politics, fun, dancing and havin it music.
*promote cycling
*discuss transport issues
*meet other cyclists and cycling organisations
*have loads of fun
*celebrate Halloween

ALTHOUGH THE EVENT IS HAPPENING AFTER CRITICAL MASS EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO
COME TO THE PARTY. We do ask that people consider sustainable forms of
transport to get there where possible.

To plan your route there using public transport see:

You can get there on the Trans Penine Trail and also a short walk from
Chorlton through Chorlton Ees Nature Reserve. See map here:

It is part of two groups: Subvert and I Bike MCR where everyone gives
their time and skills for free. We organise events that aim to promote
social change and thought and discussion around important issues. We do
this in our own spare time because we believe that giving our time to make
a change will be worth it.

It will be a free event in order to make it accessible to everyone no
matter their economic situation. We will ask for donations to go to
helping the I Bike MCR cycle campaign.

I believe you'll find i came 10th.... If you check nasty's blog...

Whereabouts does everyone else work?!
live & work city centre, drink sandbar and anywhere else i'm allowed in....

Whatever you do dangeruss, get your fuckin cash out now lad!
£ - $ = 1.56 as I type......:-(

www.xe.com

I know....! How much lower will it go...? how long will it take to recover....? i f*cking hate having to second guess this crap....

edit... down to $1.51 for tourist rate....!

I see, wait til I've gone then start a forum. Starting to miss Manc already, but I'm yet to get involved properly down here...
and god did we have to wait a while to get rid of you...! Hope the big smoke is treating you well, watch out for those streets paved with gold they get hella slippy in the wet....!

Ok... So i've just booked my flights, i'll be in NYC from the 6th -11th November if anyone happens to be there at the same time and fancies taking a ride get in touch....

Sand bar on friday nights

+1 for SandBar, the Messenger, Exenger, Fakenger and Hipster hangout, in fact any night not just friday, although fridays are the most raucous....!

Pistanator, that's why i'm inclined to stay in Manhattan, Williamsburg seemed cool to visit, but not sure i want to hang out solely with Brooklyn hipsters...

And as i'm gonna be on my jack jones, i'm gonna doss in a hostel as they're always full of people doing the same which always gives you a bunch of like-minded people to catch a beer with....

The place i stayed last was a hostel in Chelsea that had a big central courtyard with benches where everyone chilled. I had a couple of my best (and most random) nights out in NY start there... plus the courtyard seemed pretty secure and had plenty of heavy duty railing to lock my bike to so it's off the street over night.

As far as locks go I'm figuring taking a Mini-U and normal Krypto and maybe a Krypto flexy cable to secure my bike, Does that sound secure enough to anyone? too much to carry around?

Guess the only thing i'm gonna have to take a chance with is the weather, don't care if it drops to zero, just as long as i manage to avoid rain and snow.... (fingers crosed then!!)

Yeah, been before a couple of times but always with work and without a bike... was just planning on bumming in a hostel somewhere, Chelsea possibly? and getting out and riding/exploring.

Not fussed about the cold, it's the wet i don't want to experience... guess i'll just have to take a risk...

Pistanator: do you have any accomodation tips? any particularly Bike friendly places to stay...?

Hi all

I'm thinking of taking a trip to New York with my bike for a few days (5?) in Mid-November & was wondering if anbody else from this forum was going to be doing the same? and maybe fancied hooking up to go for a few rides around Manhattan/Brooklyn?

I had a few glitches, first their server went down, losing my details and order so had to re register, i was trying to order a stronglight track crank from them, they couldn't get it from the distributors and the BB they got in from the distributor was the wrong size when they received it... not the best shopping experience i cancelled and went elsewhere, to their credit they refunded me fully & promptly

I Bought my Fuji track from Holcros £315 inc free shipping, seemed swift to deliver no problems i'd recommend them....

http://www.holcroscycles.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=51&products_id=1146

Silly me...

I'm not up with the latest trends, obviously.
obviously... HTFU...!

Yo.... Check your PM's.. i replied to your PM about this last night....!

I've got a fork from a 58cm 2007 Fuji Track, sat in a box at home... open to offers but bear in mind it'll need to be posted as i'm in Manchester.

It could definitely use some pedals, though.

Thats all part of the simplicity, the NoPedals (tm) work perfectly with the NoBrakes *(tm)..

I'd have thought that was obvious...

nice! what's the lacing pattern on the dave lloyd (front)?

In the photo of me riding the Dave Lloyd it has a Radial laced wheel, that wheelset is now on my Bob Jackson, all the others are normal 3 cross lacing

My stealth Bob J, 55cm frame.

To clarify i would like straight bladed forks with (obviously) some rake to them, if anyone has some and knows what rake they are i'll do my best to work out if they'll fit... at a guess i'm looking at about 30/35mm?*

*not scientifically measured, used straight edge and estimation

Hi

Does anyone have a set of straight steel 1" threaded fork with at least 20cm of steerer tube? and if so could i arrange to have them posted to me (i'm in Manchester)?

Thanks

Wheelset, saddle, stem & bars.... oh and toeclips/straps but kept the pedals...

And the reason for your enquiry is....?

Saw a guy skidding down Park Street on a black bike with drops at about half four yesterday afternoon! I was pushing my BMX up the hill heading to Oppo for a much needed post work pint!

I can only assume that was me, i mean the whole point of slogging up Park St and Brandon Hill is that you get to slide back down them.... no? think i did Park St about 3 times yesterday... luckily i've got Gatorskins on at the mo'..!

Plus it's not a good idea to try and cycle through the new shopping bit in the centre, cabot circus or whatever it's called, unless you want to get shouted at by some rather large security guards! Found that out on my way to work this morning!

Yeah.. i discovered that with the small Critical Mass crew at about 6pm about 10-15 of us cycled through most of them ringing bells and asking where the cycle parking was (they've got 3000+ car spaces but not a single designated bike parking area... so much for promoting cycling...!) the security guards looked bemused, but were actually fairly polite to their credit.....

48-19 is easy... i did it on sunday, 48-17 and i smoke far too much and haven't ridden a bike properly for months

Magnus that sounds like a challenge....!! i can't quite remember how steep it is, i remember it always seemed super steep but i was going down it on a skate board as a kid, so maybe its like me and it's mellowed with age......!!

Hi All... thanks for all the info....

the next critical mass in bristol is 28th october, college green @5pm

Whatfriends... Isn't the next ride due to be this Friday? 26th Sept?

I've never been too into the whole Critical Mass thing either, for some of reasons people have touched on here already, but as i was going to be in the area i thought it might be a sociable thing to take part in.... if i'm in Brizzle Fri eve i'll take a cruise around to see what's going on.... and if anyone else here is doing the same might see you around....

oh and while i'm around i'm gonna give Park St a go but with gearing of 48-19 i'm not sure how far i'll get......
