Loads of fun, great first forum outing for me. Thanks boys and girls, will be sure to pop along to something else soon :)

I'm not going to be able to go very fast tonight though, as I will either be a) riding on a brand new tyre (hence too much lateral resistance) or b) riding on a bald old tyre (hence too much tangential resistance). And my front wheel is out of true. And my chain needs oil.

I'm worried my hair may be sticking up too much thereby decreasing my aerodynamic properties.

But if I don't win, it's obviously due to problems with the chainline. :)

Yeah, it was more the spectacular failure at speed I was concerned about

Tentative, need to hopefully sort out a drill to remove a stubborn chainring bolt. Chainline is currently pretty out.

just get off your bike at the lights, walk over the line and then get back on the bike and ride

did that this morning much to the chagrin of the coppers on High St Ken this morning.

i think my cheery wave and shout of "happy dayz" went down like a libyan bullet on yvonne fletchers head

^ this. My favourite is when people 'run' red lights by hopping off, running through as a ped pushing their bike and straight back on without any real loss of momentum.

Me, I just sit and stare.

Might pop down. Curious what GI you guys will be running?

Sorry, got my intersections mixed up. This was the corner of Southgate and Northchurch.

Came through Northchurch Road last night at about 10pm. Corner of Northchurch Rd and Southchurch Road had a section of the road closed off with a mangled women's bicycle on the road. Ambulance, several police cars. Saw a stretcher but no movement.

Passed on through after a quick look, not wanting to hang around. Certainly put much more of a damper on my spirits than the rain did.

Anyone have any details at all?

Edit: Updated location, got my intersections mixed up.

Alarming amount of incidents recently. A few fatalities and other accidents all on roads I ride regularly or nearby to work or home. Has certainly made me slow down a bit and take more care of late.

Never found any need for cheap chalk. Always just used the little chalk bags that cost a quid or two. They usually last a couple of months climbing a few times a week.

Briliant, my hat is off to you sir. I believe it is a good idea to, on occasion, do deeply unpleasant things. My version of this is is to ensure that I eat MacDonalds at least once a year.

Slotting in at #36. Will be geared, fixie is in parts. :)

Was spinning away madly on drops late one night on Chelsea Embankment. A motorbike rider pulled up alongside me - shouted '35!' and gave me the thumbs up. I was chuffed. Just over 45mph downhill on the way out of Hastings, scary indeed, tried the brakes and they did nothing at that speed.

Me, coming to a skidding stop across two lanes of traffic as my chain fell off and wrapped itself round the rear cog.

Time for a new front cog I think...

one of the things i like about this place is generally i dont have to treat others as if they are complete idiots

however there are a few exceptions to this rule

I mean people on the road in general. There is definitely some skill involved in spotting the ones that aren't very aware of their surroundings and giving them a large leeway though...

I've got to agree with Oliver on this one. I remember the best advice my parents gave to me when learning to drive - 'treat every other driver on the road as if they are a complete idiot'. This translates well when cycling too, just slow down and take it easy when things get hectic.

That said, I do enjoy being a bit of a cunt sometimes and flying past pedestrians on the left, leaving them stranded in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic...

I've been lurking around here a while, and was wondering what the 'Hipster Highway' is?

Me, skidding to a halt from 25 mph in traffic as my chain wraps itself round the rear cog after falling off. Time to adjust chain tension I think...
