Thank you

second dibs, let me know where you want the cash if it gets to me; I'll take both.

Many Thanks

George

+1 for the adjustments I reckon. Every bike I have had has taken a good few hundred miles to ease into, even ones where I have had a proper fit; your body just gets used to how your old bike felt.

I was seriously looking at these a few weeks back, but Evans at Spitalfields utterly unable to arrange getting to see one so it wasn't to be. Bike looks lovely though. I ended up with a lynskey instead :-).

Good luck with the sale though, it will be a lovely bike for whoever ends up with it.

Hi, Where are you based? That might suit my mother...

I have never understood why boxes are so expensive.

Mosquito have them to hire at forty quid a week which is the best I have seen I think. I'd like to take a bike to Italy next month but Ryanair want 60 quid each way....

I so want that, but have no earthly use for it.

So essentially "SMIDSY" is a valid defence in law?

Wetsuit, diving mask, snorkel.

Anything less would be madness.

It is not said but there is a massive implication in what lots of cyclists say IMHO.

GOOD STUFF DELETED

I cannot prove any of this, because the only way to prove it would be to have people come on this thread and say 'I admit it - I think hi viz very sensible, but I look like a prat wearing it so I don't. It's down to cars to avoid me, it is not my job to help them do their job.'

I think that each of us make our own choices.

Me, I wear a helmet, but don't really expect it to do much good in a serious accident. I stop at red lights, though stop significantly in front of one on the way home, because I think it is safer (at Tally Ho in Finchley). I have a helmet and a bike covered in reflective tape, would get the tube rather than cycle with no lights, but don't wear hi viz. I pretty much always wear headphones.

Obviously I /could/ wear hi viz and not have headphones, but I personally don't think it woudl make a deal of difference.

On a related note I am getting a bit annoyed at how wearing a helmet/high vis is being treated the same as following traffic signals & having lights. People on both sides need to realise one set is law & the other is conjecture. Not to mention behavior, etiquette & road positioning which are arguably the most important aspect of getting through london (via any mode of transport).

And this is the other thing that I massively agree with.

One of the things that really irritates me when riding around though is behaviour that is inconsiderate rather than massively illegal, drivers closing gaps, edging forward when it does them no good, driving too close, that sort of stuff.

I am not sure what I detest more... victim blaming or the fact that a significant number of cyclists seem unable to accept that they have to take some responsibility for their own safety.

I couldn't agree more.

ARRRGGGHHH : Headphone Ban. What a waste of sodding time?

Thank you all kind people.

Right, I'll be all over craigslist.

I need a bike there, what with all the meat I intend to eat :-)

Unlikely as this is, I wondered if anyone had ridden in Houston in the US.

Work are sending me away for a month, and a month bikeless sounds a bit rubbish; I am wondering if I can hire something, or buy something second hand. Google's my friend obviously, but I just wondered if someone here knew amazing things.

3rd

Title says it all really, I am in the market for a small lady's step through bike. In an ideal world with a sturmey archer 3 speed hub on it, but other options possible.

It is for my mum, who is in her sixties, so step through rather than mixte, and ideally not made of pig-iron. She is pretty much 5 foot exactly.

Anyone got anything, before I go on a wider search?

George

If this is still going, I would be more than interested.

Beer? What a fucking hero.

That was not my first thought

Normally I smile and wave and am generally quite chilled.

This morning though some guy nearly ran me down on Upper Street so I had a shout, he then drove at me, I had a proper shout a bit further down the road, including the whole road tax thing. He then threw a tin of beer at me.

It seems I took his number plate down incorrectly. I am almost as cross with myself as I am with him.

Alcohol still counts as a drug right? Bet that thing would be a right laugh if you we're pissed

most things are tbh

Tempted by one of the ladies bikes, I am actually looking for something for my mother :-)

Do you have abny other photos of them? The bars on the mercies look mighty interesting...

George

It was a mixture of ages. My daughter was there, age 9, but in a group with older children and an adult as people were grouped by track experience and she had some, but not a lot.

Nice chat with you sir. Hope your new waterproof is good. Boy did I get wet.

Any supermarket, it is just a shoe polish made by (I think) kiwi.

get "Parade Gloss" if you want a real shine, and follow the instructions
