It would nice to see a good crowd see us off from Herne Hill. Some very interesting all original Vintage Bikes. I mean old like 150 year,old.

Not any bike. Just the ones we are short on. We need a Track Iron, if anyone is interested.

Norman Jay, can't do the Chopper. looking for a volunteer. Your self and your Chopper.

Are there any Chaps/Chapettes out there who can put this onto a map for me? Pretty please.

Oliver, that survey is closed at the moment

How bad would the traffic be if all the cyclists go in cars? Not something a motorist contemplates.

The council should hand out the results of numerous examples around the world which show the benifical sides of bike lanes to local businesses. Bicycles passing by, are more likely to than cars.

Not to bang my own drum. But I love Road Rags' 'Ventile' Cycle jacket.
Ventile constructed in WW2, totally natural cotton, for pilots who ditch in the sea.
So they stay completely waterproof, and breathable when dry.

You'll see it on You Tube, the noob will blame the van driver.

THAT is pretty!!

This ride will have bicycles from 1850 to the present day, all riding in chronological order. As it is only five miles it shouldn't take that long, but we can only go as fast as the slowest. My money being on the Dandy Horse.

The Corporation of London have seen in their wisdom to charge a licence fee for our event on Monday. With VAT they want to charge £180 for each and every stall. I mentioned that if I wanted to charge the Jumblers £15 each, I'd be told to "Fuck off". His advice was to go to the local pub, and watch it. So I've decided to cancel all the stalls. The big screen and bar will still be available, you just need to pack a picnic bag. The Fundamental part of watching Le Tour on screen and in the flesh, will still happen.

No Idea how to get an image on to a reply. But this is the one I wanted on the Posts

Ohh!!

Nice to see so many from the forum, at the Nocturne, on Saturday

The Veteran Cycle Club, have a stand this year at the Nocturne. We will be at the St. John's St. end. Come and check out bikes from the late 1800's to the '80s. We will also have a couple of cases of cold beer for LFGSS members. Should be a great day..

George from Full City is our last and final jumble table. A good selection of jumble for the day. Testing the Big Screen next week, last thing we want is not to be able to view the race.

www.roadrags.cc will be having a sample sale on the day

Luv Handles from Wandsworth,will be displaying some lovely bikes.

Peter from London Bike Kitchen is also doing a Jumble Stall
