eek. Thank god for you understanding RE. They annoy me so much because they are so damn confusing.

hey Matt. Would it be ok if I pop in? I'd like to swap a sprocket.

Did you see them come to a stop? They all look non too safe. Perhaps said pilot/passanger is now in a casualty ward somewhere.

The north circular scares the shit out of me when i'm in a car. To take a bike on it would be suicide. In fact I think cycling on a motorway would be safer than the north circ' because at least the lanes on a motorway are wide.

bit late in the day now but...
map of a few of the places mentioned.

i'll loose interest soon enough

answer being a. I manually zipped up the .kml i posted last night and hey presto it worked.

Can't you use vegan materials. Damn my ethics!

I don't think they have to kill the morino's to get the wool off them. If they did it at the start of summer i'm sure the little fella's would be glad to loose the winter coat. So see it's super animal friendly.

Basic description .kmz is just a zipped .kml. The zipped file can also contain custom images and maybe other stuff referenced by the .kml. So surely from my original question option b is now ruled out and it is either answer a or c.

So is that a or b ?

This is just me playing around with no research whatsoever. I'm curious as to the difference between them, .kml is on the recognied attachment list. It just happened that google maps gave me a .kml, I guess you need earth for .kmz and I don't have that, just seeing how far I can get with free publically available assets.

Yes earth is free, but requires an install, so would require me to be at home with my own computer. Plus I think earth for linux runs in some kind of emulation or virtualisation (or was that picassa, haven't researched proper like) and I aren't keen on that. And :) why take up disk space with a novelty app if i can get away doing it all wank2.0.

so did that not work because

a: .kml isn't set up to expand
b: .kml doesn't contain enough data to expand
c: it's a private not public map (i guess i could test this bit myself) (and maybe i will tomorrow)

I expect this not to work, just messing around

bike porn has been doing it for a few days, and names to faces did it today, prompting me to mention it.

the 'last page' button has code to the right place but the little black arrow far right next to last post userName point to http://www.londonfgss.com/thread29.html#post171882
seems to be missing -57 between 29 .html

i'm seeing this in firefox.

crumpler have a store here.

So what's going on with the threads over 50 pages long? When I click the arrow to go to latest post it keeps serving the first page of the thread?

The one I saw this morning is locked up where I no longer lock my bike because it has become over run with discarded bikes. Well done DKNY for using up one of the few remaining spots there, YOU CUNTS.

Maybe that's true. Perhaps my perception of things getting worse is just that i've moved to a complete scummy shit hole, from somewhere relatively nice. I was really excited to move to London, but I fucking hate the place now.

They are triggered by sensors that detect when a person is heading towards the car.

I wouldn't want to rely on that sensor. What about teaching people to consider other road users rather than giving them another safety net to absolve them of any responsibility/consequence.

It's the lack of respect for another life that should make you sick.
I don't see how one of those 'causes' or even all of them together can make someone think anothers life is expendable. The people make me sick.

Cool. Thanks for the update scrapper. And much appreciate you stepping in and sorting out the purchase.
Good that Jos has the bike, there has been no post on this thread from him since his initial suggestion, which we all jumped on, so didn't know if it had all fizzled out because he didn't actually mean it.

Well when I first read this thread I though it was a right riot, that's why I joined up.

i'll go now.

Bump

Has mr the boss got the bike yet? Do we have a date for the happening? Has an official photographer been hire?

Used to have spd's on my mtb many years back. I blamed them for starting to give me knee pain/weekness.
Currently run clips 'n' straps. I would like to try clipless again with some eggbeaters, they have more float I think, but i'm too misely.

I'm not winning any style points with my plastic mtb clips (held to my pedals with zip ties and plastic packing webbing) with nylon straps :)

Not that I have any hats nor do I ever do anything as jolly as socialising, but I am up for encouraging you guys to do stupid shit so...

List

Anyhow . . . I think the problem is that the police have not kept up with technology (for want of a better word) in the respect that a stolen bike is still viewed like a stolen wheelbarrow or shovel - not the crime of the century - they don't seem to be aware that in recent years it is becoming common for some bikes to be worth a fair bit of money.

The police might not be too aware of this but the thieves are.

And so the theft has got out of hand because of lack of deterant, it would probably take way too many resources to bring back in line now.

But we shouldn't give up, we should be working to get them to take action, are they not public servants?
