You can have an accident anywhere, and time. It just takes one person driving like a dick. I find that in London drivers are more used to bikes that out in the country and therefore give you a bit more room.

I do agree that London drivers are better for being exposed to cyclists and that London cycling isn't the death gauntlet that people assume.

Country accidents are likely yo much more severe I take that point too, I just feel that you are much more likely in London to be involved in an incident albeit minor.

Guess there's nothing in it.

you wouldn't wear one outside london?

Quite right, you'd be foolish to. No one ever got hit by a speeding car outside the m25, and anyway, cars go much faster in london than out in the country, everyone knows that.

My gist was that you're more likely to be in an accident in London.

I don't think i'd be as inept to go over my handle bars, it is a novel way to reduce stopping distance though.

I used to until a week a ago ride without a helmet but my girlf / normal people were quite disturbed by this. I still wouldn't wear one outside London but in the smoke anything can happen.

Same thing used to happen to my surly, I used to stand it vertical after a wet ride.

If it was steel I woud recommend coating the indise of the tubing with waxoyl or similar.

I have found that a massive ego improves fitness greatly. Under no circumstances should anyone pass you.

8 mile run - 24 mile bike - 8 mile run, acheived by doing 5 laps of box hill in surrey.

I've entered and currently training but wanted to ask advice on drinks of all things.

I drink water when I train and kinda reasoned it would do me good in the long run compared with drinking isotonic stuff. rationale being I'm forcing my body to get good at using what it has instead of relying on taking on more sugar.

I do plan to use isotonic stuff during the race and will probably eat a banana or a snickers too but am I limiting the value of my training by not taking on anymore sugar? or is my puritanical approach the better? (mentally and physically??!!)

cheers

ha, my bad

is it just me or do you some people lose all their common sense when they mount a cycle? I see crazy stuff like people wearing gloves when it's sunny and way to many layers.I wanna ask them what they're thinking and tell them that they're only riding to work - not going on an expedition.

I ride without but can't really justify it.

You?

I used to ride my bmx brakeless until i got sick of wasting shoe leather, i did live in sheffield at the time though. I never had a crash though which kinda goes to show if your careful you can get away with it.

No it doesn't.

I wasn't actually serious

i ride gears but never change them or stop peddling so it feels like its fixed

it's definately not coming in the seat tube and there's no where else for it to get in.

I'm taking about when it's seriously wet and wheels are spraying water in every direction.

Plus gas is what they use on trains to free siezed bits - widely available.
