Riding away from waterloo on the way home, hit a medium sized pothole, wondered if i might have to fix a puncture, which would have been a bit shitty. thankfully, it was fine.

just been, was ok. nice chats with nice people at stands, decent enough beer and food. I liked the wheel lacing lesson the most, thanks to the nice lady who took the time to show us.

bike polo takes mad skills! I was suitably impressed.

foffa stand was free of folks every time I walked past. poor foffa.

interested in the hope/mavics, whats the freehub? looking for 8sp campy.

go second hand, depreciation on new bikes is massive.

Yup, if Road users aren't looking out for cyclists, they're not going to see them. That said, pragmatism says be bright be seen! Personally I tend to light myself up like an epileptic hating disco strobe. Just to cover all bases. Ymmv.

the 800 is seriously cheap on amazon at the moment. haven't checked the touring model though.

I ride according to the highway code, at a speed that allows me to react safely in a given circumstance (traffic, low visibility ect), never rlj and I wear a headcam. I have one for purely pragmatic purposes as I was left hooked back in November, breaking my collarbone and wrecking the bike. as there was no footage of the road at the time and no one willing to provide a statement, I was left without rebuke to the 'no we didn't, he was cycling unsafely, it was his fault' argument ( I wasn't). The headcam is there for video evidence in case of any future incident (god forbid). I am not fishing for confrontations, I almost never exclaim at another road user unless I am genuinely startled and avoid the shouting matches. to be fair, 99.9% of my saddle time is incident free.
However, in a recent conflict with an Addison Lee driver, you know the ones with the 'get outta my way / in your lane / pay road tax...' spittle out the window ragespew preceding/during/following a dangerous overtake, pointing out to said taximan that footage had and was continually being taken seemed to have a calming affect.

Plus it has a laser on it.

Christ, ^ made me feel queasy in the guts, thought of that happening to me is terrifying

try em on, you want a snug fit that's not too tight, and everyone's feet are different.

minutes? it would take me seconds to grab the felt by the handlebars, place a foot on the pedal and vanish into the ether...

I have been away from the bike and cam for a few days but ill upload some stuff later when I get home. is there a limit to how much footage you would like from one person? my cam cuts the videos into 25 minute segments too...

I have some commutes I haven't deleted yet. Newbury Park - Ilford - Stratford - bow - aldgate - tower Bridge - Waterloo if you're interested. Files are big though, about a gig per 25 Mins.

2nd dibs please

dibs egg beaters too please. at a £5 worth a try...

Spotted (& slapped on the shoulder) villa-ru this evening on Brixton Hill. At least, if that wasn't you, I think I spooked some poor innocent commuter on a MTB in waffa apparel. Either way I shoulda vocalised my greeting - apols.

Which, oddly enough I witnessed trailing aforementioned chap. Evening sirs

wondering if the nice fella who led me to streatham earlier this evening is on here, nice chap waited for my crushing slowness and was a general brick! appreciated dude.

dibs rolls

interested in the bars, dibs, as long as not too badly scratched.

dibs stem please.

on a side note, anyone know how to get hold of the x-rays from the hospital? now they're all digital you cant take em home any more...

done. i wonder if anyone will take heed on the inherent dangers of the cs2 route.
