they were the BOMB

nah, no bike. Just me and a couple of guys sitting outside in the beer garden out front

Is iot wrong to be listening to euphoria-club classics at this time in the morning?

Shit, I just saw this thread as bke naked.......

What time were you there Horatio? I was in there for a couple early evening too, since it's 10 secs walk from work.

Hackney to top of Shaftesbury Ave - 20 mins

Ealing Common to Hackney 1hr 10mins. And it nearly killed me

Was indeed a very good evening. Sorry I wimped out of the TT, will be on it next week if I get there from work in time....

It was really good to meet a few more people and get merrily drunk

YEP!

Me and a couple of mates going. Only for the Sunday mind due to work but should be a fucking good day. And I only live 5 minutes walk away ;)

Not fixed or SS, but needed a pic taking:

Not really porn or anti-porn, maybe good anti-theft? (like the protecting a brake cable at most d-lock)

to be fair, who's going it nick it in the first place?

right, see yous gheys in a bit for a few swifts...

front mudguard's not too practical, is it!

those tyres don't look very quick hillbilly - you want to take a look at them

Tis me, yeah. Sorry, forgotton your name though! - Beat you in the crapness stakes :P

will be there for a couple about 7ish

looks like there are straps round his ankles where the pedals should be. The handlebar chain thing - god only knows. Used to drive......something?

I've been going past a set of bike railings on High Holborn everyday for the past year or so. There's a bike lock on one of them that has not had a bike attached to it ever in my recollection. Guess Camden Council have more important things to do than monitor how much left bike locks are used..

Marmite spread on searing hot steak is a winner, as is a spoonful in a stir fry

Also, poppadoms dipped in custard. Trust me.....

Stumbled on it accidently yesterday on my way to see my mate's show at the Globe. Had to watch for 20 mins, it was awesome. There were some sick mountain bikes knocking about, with some SERIOUS money spent on them. Carbon fibre agogo on some of them

Some slavery of the hip-hop variety and no mistake...

One blue Centurion sporting white deep-V's and white tyres and a pale yellow thing wid yella tyres, D-locked together outside Tesco's in Hackney as I went in to buy some groceryage.

Oh yes

Have to throw my two pence here

I'm a motorbiker too, and have full license and one of the bigger bikes, and indeed, mostly use it on longer routes as in the centre it's pointless, but can see the appeal of sometimes taking it to work out of laziness or convenience etc.

Still, as a cyclist i get sometimes so annoyed with other motorbikers- passing way too close, blocking gaps pointlessly, and don't even get me started on the teenagers on mopeds.
** But i'd say i could point out a big bunch of idiots who are shit cyclists and don't have any understanding of other road users too, so i guess it goes both ways.**

Have to agree though, that surprisingly often the bigger the motorbike they have the less they need to show off on the road hence the more calm and easy they are on others - maybe it's got to do with more years of experience. And mopeds are a nightmare for other moto users too, if i could i'd shoot them all.

Re. bike lane - can't be objective here, i'm cool with it, win-win.

I have an overpowered motorbike that gets used infrequently for town use as well as long distance riding and I think it's a really good idea (from the motorbiker's view). I have been knocked off twice while not in a bus lane by taxis suddenly pulling out of said bus lane into me as I am overtaking them. If I had been in the same lane as them, I'm pretty sure they would have seen me behind them and saw me pulling out to overtake.

I'm with VinylVillian completely on this one, having driven, rode and pedelled most forms of transport round the centre of London (including artic lorries.) Everyone else is a cunt, you are always in the right.

and here's how NOT to do it

That is fucking quality

oodles of fixed and SS between Hackney Road / Old Street / Clerkenwell Road this morning, but the winner has to go to the blonde lovely on a green respray with gold deep V's, drops and seat post. Lovely lovely bum.

And to the guy with the same hairdresser as Wurzle Gummage on an ancient geared road machine, if you had wanted to beat me that badly, you needn't have been peddalling like a maniac - you had about 4 gears to go!

Ah, a diagram.. Must be true then.....

wow
