Radio 4 are currently playing a segment about Bristol as Britain's first "Cycling City". It is.. not complementary. Sounds like a lot of wasted time and money, with no actual useful infrastructure put in. Painting cycle lanes on pavements that run into trees is not going to encourage anyone to get on a bike.

I was in Bicycle Magic yesterday. The news, I hear, is that PX will have their first bits of stuff in the shop sometime this week.
Watch that space.
FWIW, I'd recommend BM to anyone, great shop. Support your LBS.

+1 to this, Bike Magic staff were lovely when I went in there.

I like the idea if ordering online and collecting from the shop. Best if both worlds - big selection but you don't need to store everything at the premesis.

+123 on the tools, basic or otherwise - 3 shops in Central London and not one of them had a bog standard plastic/ rubber handled 32mm headset spanner

Talking of tools, I'd like to see a good selection of tools available for purchase. It's nice to be able to hold a tool and try it out before buying it.

I need more park tool spanners in my life.

Either pub is fine with me. I think this is the same night as critical mass - any interest in joining cm after a quick drink?

I use a TT lever like these ^ on my Charge Bullhorns. I've got a Cane Creek one.

IIRC the bullhorns are 23.8mm diameter.

I'm in if I can drag myself out of bed that early on a Sunday! Are people planning to stay in Cambridge for the night and cycle back on Monday?

I'm in. I love the Roebuck, so I'm definitely in favour of going there. Looking forward to meeting some of you again!

Nice photos.
I look properly grumpy in them. I assure you though, I was having a lovely time!

Hello, dibs on the pedals if they're still going? I'm happy to collect from Brixton.

What a lovely ride, despite the rain. Thankyou to the lovely organisers!

bodieanddoyle, was it your girlfriend I was chatting to who had the 1950s track frame in sky blue? What a gorgeous bike, I have envy.

Sweet, see you then!

Xander, Joe & oldskool racer, can I meet you at tower bridge at 10:40 too? It'll be nice to be with people who know where they're going!

I'll be the girl in a white jacket on a blue frame with black bullhorns.

Hey Louis, I'm in camberwell so I might be going up that way too. TBH, I was thinking of going to stay at the bf's on sat night and get the train there on Sunday. I'm not sure if I could cope with 30+ miles in one day!
How long do you reckon it'll take from camberwell to Victoria park?

Awesome, thankyou! I'll send a PM. :)

Dibs on the Park Tools wrench - will send PM now.

I've realised that it's time to man up and get some foot retention, so I'd like to get some cheap and cheerful toe clips & straps to try out. I'm looking to spend about £10.

I'd also be interested in powergrips or similar.

If anyone were coming to Rise East on Sunday, I could pick up from there. If not, I'm happy to collect from somewhere central-ish.

Cheers!

Lovely fellows in Bike Magic in Whitechapel - I went in there just to get a bolt for a brake cable and they helped me sort out my brakes for free. Thanks guys!

Alas! The weekend of the ride I am away with the boyfriend & the in-laws. Perhaps I could sneak off? No, I'm pretty sure that would be mean.

Ah well, I hope to see lots of wonderful photos. Grow a tache for me!

+1 for a Berlin sub-forum, I'm moving out there in a couple of months and it'd be fun to know what's going on bike-wise.

Guy on a fixed blue Condor & girlfriend (?) on a pink Pashley Poppy, about 3:30 today in Camberwell. Fine pair of bikes, if either of you are on here :)

Well if it's that colour, I'm *definitely *in.

Err they are not going to be merino wool

Ahh, ok. I guess I would have to see the fabric before deciding then - I'm personally not so keen on shiny lycra.

Nice idea! I like the sound of merino wool.
Possibly interested in a ladies size 14 (which I guess is a 36) if it were, ahem, roomy in the front.

Done. I also got a very polite response from Syed Kamall (who knew Tories were so pro-bike?). It seems like all the London MEPs signed it, other than the moron from UKIP.

This is a really important campaign, well done to those organising it.

girlfriend bike project nearly done, just some velo orange gaurds when they are in stock @freshtripe

That is charming! I like the cranks & the teeny tiny wheels. Lucky girlfriend. :)
