its out of our control sometimes. the police have a habit of assuming they saw certain things, then fabricating laws/fines as appropriate.

and pocketing the money =/

I think that is amazing. I commend you. Details all the way, it just proves to people that despite how fragile we are physically, we can get through it. Congratulations and the best of luck on your bicycle hunt, get the eff out of the gym, get some fresh air =)

oh goodness =/ perhaps she thought it was cute...?

insist on a bike as a deposit? make sure it's a touring bike though, so you can rent it out whilst they're away

why would they rent a bike if they had one, and doesnt that sort of limit the people that can utilise this offer?

Why not both? Taking the card could mean nothing to some people. I personally have a bank card which is never used.

I'd say you'd want:

£100 deposit
confirmed home address
debit/credit card

why not a photocopy of a drivers license as well. dont they have the registered address on them?

I remember when I got my first bike, I was too scared to use the breaks because my mummy told me if I bit the front break too hard I would go over the handlebars. I could never remember which was the front so I just rode into stuff to stop mwahaha

but I enjoyed packing a backpack of useless shit and going on "adventures." The heavier the bag, the better the adventure...looks like not a lot has changed...apart from the bag part...fuck a heavy bag.

Q1: Do you have fliers/spoke cards in your spokes? no

**Q2: Which of the following do you do on your fixed-gear bike **(indicate all that apply):

• Commute/get from 'A' to 'B'/long rides.

**Q3: Do you ever use a mudguard on your fixed gear bike? **nope. didnt need one where i was before.

Q4: How do you feel a mudguard affects the aesthetics of fixed gear bikes in general?

• No positive or negative effect. they are functional.
  
  
  

Q5: If you get a nipple in your pork scratchings, is this lucky or unlucky?

• Unlucky. nothing is going to be coming out of that boys, sorry.
  

has anyone taken the route to frankfurt? a friend and i were thinking of doing it this summer...it is quite a distance and will probably take about 5 or 6 days. Just wondered if anyone knew what the accomm was like such as camping areas/hostels (hotels/b&bs if it is the only available.)

i would love to if i knew where i was going to be ever haha.

if I may suggest an amazing book to kick start your club though:

"Savage Detectives" by Roberto Bolano.

also:

"Been down to so long it looks like up to me" by Richard Farina

and if anyone is feeling like not a novel per se then the Crimethinc books are definitely worth a read

"days of war, nights of love" and "expect resistance" (read them in that order)

I dont get what makes them fixed? aren't vans mainly skate shoes, especially in that style.

fuck that. it looks a hello of alot longer than a fucking keyboard. apple need to pull thier heads out thier ass. saying that though, i have a mac

on the ball

us: dominics cycling, tempe, arizona.

i havent had much time in the uk to check out bike shops yet. But I really like the smell of a store called Scats. hah

hm well i have nothing that is insured here at the moment.

What is the best way to insure my bike. Which companies and such? and how much is too much? Arizona doesnt offer this option so I am rather eager to take part in such a good idea.

I dont know if anyone has said this but I am really eager to tell you yes fantastic quit smoking. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE CHAMPIX. My whole family used it and so did two of my best friends. It makes you numb. Sure you don't have cravings but you are also really depressed. And not even having a cigarette or thinking of a cigarette makes it better is what they all told me in just as many words. There are better ways to quit. It also made most of them have night terrors, really realistic, fucks up your whole day kind of things.

on a better note. I quit smoking too, and it is a fantastic idea. Everything becomes easier, and you realise eventually how much time you waste standing outside smoking whilst everyone else is inside ha

I'd ask for a deposit & or a replace with you break type agreement. Don't want to seem negative as it's a nice thing to offer but shit happens.

I agree with ^

Also think this is a great idea! share the wealth =)

OTP = Off The Peg = Off a production line.....so to speak.

Which in turn, is the opposite of Custom Made.

But there is the obvious customization of any bike, even OTPs.

Its the duscussion of merits of each that's being dealt with herein.

thank you very much =)

Timbuk2 laptop bag

this is what i use too, off my bike as well if I am just taking my laptop to class or something.

otherwise if I am just taking a wallet n' keys, essentials i guess, bumbags are great, american apparel used to carry water proof ones, they were the only place i could find one in tempe ha, or just a plain ol' backpack.

This is going to make me sound very thick and I apologise in advance, but the only time I have ever heard OTP is on-time performance in a work place. OTP in reference to bicycles is still something I haven't heard. I have seen it on here but I have yet to figure out what it means =x anyone care to fill me in...without the sarcasm if you can at all stand it. I know it can be hard.

heres the baby one :) we have, named Archie, and he's such a cheeky git, he'll bite your um and run away. lol

is that your bay? absolutely beautiful.

I may be in prague. If not, I shall be there!

by the way, sorry about your accident. =/

as they said get full retail price on all new parts you need, then if had to miss work estimate how much you missed, add that. Or, because you said you were injured, if you didn't miss work, just throw on an extra useful amount. Asshole should be counting his blessings you aren't contacting his insurance, and if he has a decent car I am sure he has some decent cash.

i have never seen my bike so dirty. forgot that it was wet in england ha

us womens is 6.5 or 7 womens uk just to let you know. depends on how the sizes run per shoe company
