that's a berry clever idea

owencunt face-reed?

so, got a puncture yesterday with 6 miles to go on my commute. had no tube nor patches, so strapped my bike to my bag and got on a borisbike home. bit painful, but turned an hour and a half walk into a 45 minute ride. cue loads of looks and comments. turns out the gearing is perfect if you're crossing central london with a bike on your back.

Mikey5000 caught up with me round Regents park, laughed, told me he usually carries around a spare tube rather than a spare bike and then helped me fix my puncture. cheers to him. and a lot of appreciation for the boris bikes as they did come quite in handy.

lockring tool, no 20t cog

ordered mine on thursday it arrived on saturday

i thought people wear hedphones because you go faster when basshunter is in your skull telling you you sad he is now you're gone

if I vomit at home after drinking beer/eating pizza do I still win?

its got to be lots of cider/beer followed by 3 pizzas and a cookie. Followed by vomiting into a taxi drivers face at every bump you hit in the road.

Papa Del's TT. Flask -> Pizza -> order and scoff -> Flask. Fastest time gets free pizza.

that TT depends on how useless this weeks waitress is. i reckon we should add a clause though - you must nick a cookie in order to qualify for victory

should we call ahead at papa dels and tell them all those cyclists are gonna come and eat three pizzas each so be warned and have lots of chili oil ready

where did you hear about the congestion charging zone/bike hire scheme overlap? I'm assuming it's buried in some tfl document.

from comparing the cycle scheme map to the congestion charge map I see a number of stands which are outside the congestion charge

i haven't got a genesis t-shirt :(

rented one out for a friend on saturday - was actually very nice to be able to go for a bike with a couple of friends - lent one of my own to the guy, got the girl on the borisbike. She never cycled round london but they are sturdy enough to feel quite secure and ended up making her even more convinced to buy a bike when she goes back to NY. quite a lot of people stopped her and asked questions about the bike which was interesting.

we swapped a bike at a station halfway so as to not have to pay for the bike - worked well although a little bit annoying having to wait 5 minutes between docking a bike and being able to get another one. also, a bit annoying that they haven't got any facilities closer to Camden Town - closest is in the carpark by regents park or mornington crescent. I would have thought that Camden- being a large tourist hub would attract a few more bike stands, although I suppose they are scared of drunken friday night vandals.

irrelevant pictures with captions: josh has them

I imagine full on le mans style starts followed by suicidal parking bay action. There has to be a video in there somewhere.

extra points for whoever manages to properly park the bike without taking feet off pedals?

Beer for lunch? - I want to try the new rent-a-bike. I have my magic fob and I'm ready to go!

Buy a crate of beer, put it in the 'basket' of the Borisbike and cycle around drinking. Amuse yourself with the looks of shock from tourists and Daily Mail readers.
