front wheel seizing

What's that?

Cyclists pulling dick moves.

I'll definitely include it.

As part of a university project I'm creating a series of posters about the things cyclists fear / are watchful for whilst riding in traffic.

A few of these are:

• Being doored
  
• Rain
  
• Potholes
  
• Getting under a left-turning lorry
  
  
  

Would you help me by extending the list? What are you afraid / watchful for?

Quick tip if you don't have locks, but you do have quick-release. simply release your wheel(s) and put your fork(s) through the spokes, will keep 'em just that tad longer busy.

Is white bread better than brown bread for carbs?

Sorry guys, I won't be digging this weather.

Woke up this morning and feeling shit. Too bad, I won't be there.

Good luck and have fun to all who're going to be there!

I'll be at Hillingdon at 12.30, cya there!

I'm selling 10 inner tubes from the brand Kenda. Look at the image for dimensions. Valve length is a bit under 40mm.

Price will be £29 for the whole lot. You can pick them up at Pitfield Street N1. I can also post them, but I don't know what the costs will be for postage.

I'm selling these because the valve length is too short for me. I'm not making any profit on these, just want these tubes to go to a happy owner.

Sure let me know what you're doing, I'm cool with taking the train as well, brakeless 46x14 ain't fun.

This whole thread is messed, now to get back to serious business, is anybody going down to Hillingdon to test the course?

Has anybody yet had the chance to ride the course? How was it?

Actually Fish now runs a bike shop http://www.kapteintweewielers.nl/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=19

Who's Fish?

Courier from Amsterdam. He organized the WCMC course in Warsaw and also he's ridden two Red Hook Crits. Does a lot of track cycling and is a fucking beast.

Fingers crossed they race anti-clock

It's gonna be clockwise.

Oh, and the £20 gets you food and drink from the sponsors I belive.

They better do so!

I'm riding! Anybody have a suggested gear ratio?

I got a place! w000p!

Which gearing should I have, riding 75.5 gear inches (46/16) which is too high I think...

After not making it to the Herne Hill induction I decided to go to Richmond. So far my best time, 1:04:59

^this.
you meet the police, they borrow your phone and head off to the meeting. you stay in the car and hang around afterwards to give statements / get your bike back.

whole thing takes a few hours, but well worth it in the end.

I hope I won't ever need to go through this, but this info is gold!

[...]
ARRANGE THE MEETING YOURSELF.
THEN CALL THE LOCAL POLICE AND LET THEM DEAL WITH IT.

So you wouldn't even show up?
