I'm just trying not to think what will happen if i need to fix a puncture in that cold.

Sssh! You'll jinx it.

Shoreditch 9am-ish, black frame with a little pink butterfly sticker at the top of the downtube on the left hand side.

Mad trackstand skills, missus.

these work well rather well, tried them last Saturday, was quite surprised

I found they fail after a while at high pressure.

Well aren't you a hard bastard?

Yep, that's me - built like a jelly shithouse :)

... but from the north (Lucifer will probably say Derbyshire ain't north), with parents who refuse to turn the rather ineffective central heating on until mid-December, and turn it off again at the start of Feb.

After a few years of that you get used to dealing with a chilly snap.

I have yet to see the need for anything more than 3/4 length shorts, a t-shirt and gloves but then again 4 miles probably isn't far enough to get cold...

True, but not a lot more. It's security by obscurity - if everyone used them, the thieves would just carry the tool.

Smart product. First they sell to people who want some extra security without the hassle, then they sell again to the smarter thief, who'll make his money back the first time he finds some nice wheels with these on.

Yeah, my OTP (Marin) came with one of these on the front wheel. I'm still using it and nobody's nicked the wheel yet. Also, I haven't lost the tool either so it's working so far.

I don't have much faith in it though...

Waitrose near Harrods (yes, this is a good a description as it gets) had Balvenie Doublewood at a discount, but they were out of stock :(

Is the W1 Chicken Cottage as big as the one in Tooting? That one's the size of HMV on Oxford st*

*possible exagerration but it's massive none the less.

I've seen it and it is no exaggeration. There are smaller furniture shops!

I just assumed it was like a one line review of the area - I don't know Tooting.. I cycled through it a couple of times and all I associate it with is motherloads of fried chicken..

When you feel the need, as I did, to compliment a (black) cab driver on not driving like a cunt then well. something's not right.
The guy gave me plenty of space, had the opportunity to get ahead but would have had to cut me up and chose not to and was generally a great driver.
The unfortunate thing was that such behaviour stood out...

Was good. Not here next week, so will see where Easts sets up shop in December. I see someone already added "we won the quiz" as a tag :D

Leaving the shitty office now. Need beer. Pizza would be good too.

Whos up for a Boris Bike Tour of London? I'm thinking road race, team and individual TT and mountain stages/hill climbs.

Jerseys for each classification winner...

As a bonus, they force a 20min break between consecutive hires. Just about the right amount of time for a pint...

i just nearly vomited as i appear to be developing a dependence on milka

I read that as Mika and nearly choked

Shorts, t-shirt and gloves. Perfect weather.

Cameltoe on a bloke??

I can't really compare them with much, but I found Conti TopContact was OK in the snow and ice earlier in the year.

Then again, I felt like I was about to slide off the road taking a corner at 18mph just now...

Yeah only just fixed and not full pressure so I'm out. Wouldn't have wanted you guys to wait 20mins because of a duff pump. Have a good one. At least the ride served it's main purpose - I'm awake!

Shit got a flat. Sorting it out but might miss this. Pump's not doing it's job. Passing dude says he'll be back with a working one in a few mins but it's looking a bit bleak. Near finsbury park atm

Awake, astonishingly. Leaving Stokie now

Normaly do some sort of scenic route. Last time Arvy and I went via Chiswick and Turnham Green. Mikey5000 favours Grenwich.

I am half tempted to check out progress at the olympic park tomorrow but will probably get lost.

Are semi-randomers welcome?

I actually quite fancy this. Got a ton of stuff I need to do tomorrow and I just know I'll lie in until 12, then watch the F1 and then run out of time.

If I'm not there on time, don't wait for me, but I'll try to make it.

If ginger tea helps, this stuff is pretty strong - find it in Chinatown somewhere I guess

That's nuts

RIOT
