fuck. oh well. anyone got waterproof socks?

dibs white saddle

Saw the smallest bike in the world being ridden by Spybot yesterday afternoon! Good to see you mate! Am i seeing you on the Guinness Ride?

haha... I have another drinks session on friday, I may be able to get away early. O'neils would probably have to be my entry point...

But I am a true Guiness weakling. That stuff simply floors me. My bike may be small, but my gut is smaller.

happy days.

from what i gather towards the end it was more about who got over the line first than what route you took to get there...

oops.

Spotted an old friend in Sainsbury today:

cheap too. gotta love the interwebz.

I doubt anybody is going to cut a cable to steal my wheel

It happens.

but if I'm right, forget the cables - if you mean one of those protected ones with orange bits around each end. They are like butter for cable cutters - it happened to me. Just get a second decent chain lock if you want to park outside.

I come to this forum because it's well designed, nice and plain. From the other side of the room it could just be an open Word document. This makes it far better for filling in the empty moments at work when I can't be arsed to do anything.

Brutally honest.

But you wouldn't want your colleagues to become familiar with the banner and the SJS cycles logo. I would suggest scrolling down a little on every page to hide it, but you probably already know about that.

good to know, what was the condition of the path like? fine for skinny tires?

...and I was quite close to the back.

and man enough to admit it.

third dibs on silver seat post.

I think I might come down, I've had a hell of an afternoon, and need to drink to forget ;)

agreed. may be later though...

OldSkoolRacer on tooley street, v confused when I called after him...

I've been as far as lee valley park - it's nice, but in parts the canal path is a bit rough - potholed and gravelly. And that was before winter, although I suppose they may have improved it since then. You can go quite far north along that route I think - isn't it part of the NCN?

eek - I don't think my ass is good enough for Carbon. Plus £100 seems a little beyond my reach. I was hoping to spend more like £60. I probably should have said that before.

Sorry.

arsen_design on Brixton Road, always a pleasure to roll with you, Sir... Spybot riding towards E&CR on OKR... Feels great to be alive and on a bike, too bad I have to work or I'd be out all day today... :]

I heard a shout, and nearly missed you! I was half asleep.

what a legend. when I confronted a taxi driver who'd flown past me within an inch of my bars as to why he would do that* (I had taken the lane 100m from some lights), he said he wanted to get the greens, as this would save his 'fare' 30 seconds, and that I should rather ride in the gutter.

*sanitised version

Most employers should be fairly easily persuaded - to sign up requires filling in a few forms and finance sorting it. Depending on how big your employer is will determine what the cost/benfit ratio is for them. Failing that, I have heard you can fill in the forms for them...but that's just anecdote. They still need to sign it off.

Most companies assumme that the FMV is roughly 5% of the purchase price of the bike - i.e a nominal amount. I think this is fairly standard.

I bought my bike before the voucher had been approved, although did clear it through my employer informally beforehand. Then I gave the voucher to CycleSurgery a week or so later and they reimbursed me the cash.

title says it all...it needs to be white. Am open to other options too, as long as it's in decent condition. Not bothered which type of Arione.

are you on crack now?

A few pictures from today's epic ride;

Good times

sweet! 14 pages of comments and not one pic of me, I was about to say I needn't have bothered getting up. But here I am chowing that absurd JCB. Cheers for the photo!

Great ride apart from my saddle ass. was good on the brisk ride in from souths and breakfast with Joe, Joe, snowy, damo, and skully. breakfast and banter. Cheers!

now this is how you sell a saddle:

sorry, just ignore.

The people first and foremost, I've met and become friends with so many good people here who share the love of cycling, of being bereft if a bike isn't part of their lives. The drinks, the rides, the long rides, the jokes, the banter.

When I dip into other forums they all seem so bland and over moderated in comparison.

The cheap bike bits, the wealth of knowledge both bike and other, the generosity of spirit here despite the infighting and bitching, the camaraderie, the Bright Times massive, and the feeling that we as an amorphous group of cyclists are making a difference in making cycling accepted in wider society, that we are the sharp point of the cycling spear, active and visible to all and sundry, all day er'day, all year round. This forum and the activities, rides, polo tournaments, polo playing, that we organise and represent make cycling and the joy it brings so much more visible to the general populace that it can only be a good thing

Everybody fucking hates us, more now than ever before*.

*so don't stop riding.

amen.

South Bank > The Cut > Bonnington Square > Little Portugal > Stockwell Road. A pub every 10 minutes all the way.

What, and miss a detour through E&C and heygate estates? Now there's a good place to get lost.
