What better way to celebrate (almost) finishing the year of uni than loads of meat. Very tempted by the full ladder.

I did this once when I was about 7. On the way to school and went the wrong way around a parked car and ran out of space. Went straight into the canal, but of course I chose one of the sections of the canal near where I lived that had been mostly filled in and landed in about 10 inches of water. Didn't have to wear school uniform that day which felt like a bit of a win though.

Fuck. Just riding down the road to the shops, coming to the junction between my road and the main road and a driver swings into the road the wrong way round the pedestrian island in the middle, didn't even make an attempt to slow down when he saw me even though he was on the complete wrong side of the road and heading straight at me. Reported him, just glad I decided to go left instead of right at the junction or it could have been a lot worse.

The one you're looking for really depends on what you're weighing/the situation its being used in.

Really enjoyed the ride, just a pity about the weather turning after we crossed the river. Nice to meet more people from the forum, although I've probably forgotton all your names by now!

impeccable timing

Could it be the smaller details of the rest of the bike that you don't necesarily take note of, but still affect you oppinion? Or maybe the rider themselves and what they look like?

I sometimes think they look good, but generally prefer things that match the age of the frame. Maybe the age could factor into it as well, seeing as there are a lot of new steel track frames around.

We were already on ice though, but in all fairness I don't think there was any leaning involved.

Also I think the ride back to laner's after brick lane has to be one of the coldest things I've ever experienced! Felt about 10 degrees colder than the rest of the night.

Great ride guys! Loved the stealth of the 6 of us making our way through the icy streets. So many highlights as well - loved going down primrose hill and also the look of confusion on the girls face who was locking up the boots as we slid silently through that shopping center.

I'll start working on the collision drawing, probably be able to upload it on Monday when I'm back home.

Just had a very close call with a truck between Ickenham and Uxbridge. I was riding primary doing about 23mph (from what i can make from my phone gps) in a 30 zone. I saw the truck coming up behind me and that there was another coming in the other direction followed by a line of traffic. The driver behind me came up close to my rear wheel at which point i looked round and shook my head at him to indicate there was no room for him to overtake me against the oncoming traffic, but he proceeded to start to come around me, pulling back towards the curb once the front of his truck was ahead of me. He kept pulling towards me until i had less than a meter of space. He was still coming towards me and i was in his blind sport so all i could think to do was jump off the bike and get onto the pavement as quick as possible which ended in a very unsteady dismount and me trying to get my left foot out of the toe clip whilst my bike fell by the pavement. By the time I was untangled from the bike the truck was already over the hill and out of site, and all the trafic behind me started moving off before i had a chance to ask if anyone if they had seen the licence plate. Never really had an incident like this before, but i really wish that there was something i could have done about it as it left me really quite shaken.

Someone attaching the velcro on my kryptoflex to their cable lock yesterday. Still can't figure out what they were trying to achieve with that.

Hi, I'm new here. Been riding this all summer:
