Diverting the thread slightly, does anyone have Rock 'n Roll recommendations ?

I've got a Chuck Berry comp on vinyl which is aces, where should I go next ?

loads of good things came out of Ace Records in the 50's and 60's - but if your after a general cross section get a hold of some classics such as Carl Perkins, Charlie Feathers and Gene Vincent - listen to the Mark Lamarr show thursdays at 10pm on radio 2 - lots of good more obscure acts.

by the way, i play all that old music as well - i was actually going to start a little night at the duke of wellington in dalston - could maybe do with more people to play.

lean back so much that you think you might die

ok.

Ive just learnt to pop no handed wheelies, its pretty dope except i cant wheelie for more than like 3 meters so its not so hot.

any hints - just trying outside now and can't - struggling to actually hold the saddle with my things.

i've got about 57gi to try wheelies - i find a lot easier to pop with this than my commuting ratio. but sometimes i think that a heavier gear ratio will mean you'll be going faster and it'll be easier to balance.

If you are trying to do a no handed pop-up type wheelie...? then its all in your grip on the saddle if you know what I mean. Use your thighs. If you are trying to do a wheelie (regular) then its a combo of both pulling on the bars and pushing down on your leading pedal...

Hope that helps!

cheers - will wait till it dries up a bit and go and try - the reason i ask is because i'm finding that the less i pull on the bars the easier i can balance the wheelie.

the guys at trick track say that moving the saddle back on the post also makes a big difference, so i might try that as well.

i wish it would dry up!

on topic -

i'm struggling to pop up to a wheelie without pulling on the bars - anyone have any tips on how to do this?

andy?

i don't understand why you bought a frame that was too small for you for 820 quid?

best thing to do in those situations i think is photo/film the fuckers.

+1 to reporting this - if not the guy will not the driver won't learn from his mistake.

it's utter bollocks what goes on at the prince george. the security of my bike is just about top of the list when choosing a pub.

I reckon we should all post comments on beerintheevening and other pub websites. They'd start to think about bike security when everyone stops going there.

it's my local and i like it and go there a lot - but i think this is a good idea.

The point is Huxley was in a rush, made a mistake, then came on here to gripe: suggesting, not only she is more important than the other cyclist, but it wasn't really not her fault. The preamble about her reason to be there is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you are picking up a timetable or shepherding journos.

"spiteful...cretin...ideas of punishment": Exactly what the other thought.

Collect your bike - lesson learnt - be more observant and respectful to others. Huxley prob wouldn't have even noticed her mistake otherwise: "When I looked more closely..."

Be thankful the other didn't go "off to the local hardware shop to by some bolt cutters".

she made a mistake, the other person acted in malice - thats the difference.

the same thing happened to me once. and although i was pretty pissed off i had nothing ot gain by doing the same back.

eye for an eye is bullshit.
