this happened on friday

i'm in brixton

unless you hadn't said anything, it would never have dawned on me...but i was lying down and could feel what felt like my head shivering...bloody strange

makes you concentrate a lot more though

its alright, but been on that bike for a long time...just be very confident that you can stop and that you're not going to take out peds...only really did it because my brake blocks wore thru to the pin and couldn't be bothered to replace them...

its a condor...its slopes the wrong way so much because it is so small under 50cm (49) but somehow it fits me really well and made it cheaper...its been a good work bike cos no matter how much abuse you give it seems to stand up to it ...48:18 just gone brakeless as well

moppy hair cheeky fcuker!!!!!....yeah thats me...just come from christmas spent in kingston...the bikes mashed up and thats the way i like it...not into all this aesethics bullshit...

I think this is pretty funny!

i'm a 'filthy dirty courier' (you should see my bike)...and i'm proud of it :_)

I also thought 48:17 was an easy gear.Then i cycled all day on it for a god 6 months or so, but after a while of going home to brixton...(chilling for a couple of hours) then going to see my girl in tottenham...realised that my knees were fcucked and couldn't cycle a metre for two months...spinning is for winning...i wanna be able to walk in twenny years...still get pain but is manageable...gear choice is really important...more important than i had thought...

Mate...the geezer just said it WASN'T a helmet debate...what do you not understand? He wants to get rid of his stuff, let people make their own minds up...

marcH I'm looking at getting an off the shelf SS. Am currently torn between Fillmore from LeMond and the Genesis Flyer. Definitely want a steel frame, think as far as looks go the LeMond is just ahead, but a £50 more... plus the Flyer has Reynolds tubing, which I can't say I know much about but it's always mentioned in the reviews!

Am going to call into Cycle Surgery and Evan's in Holburn tomorrow to see if I can arrange a test ride both. Looks like the Genesis is easier to get hold of. Anyone got any tips when looking at these two bikes? Or suggestions to which way I should go? All advise and help welcome!

Can get hold of the lemond at brixton cycles, and to me it looks like a better bike...

the first significant number of street track bike riders started years ago. And it was amongst the jamaican messengers in new york who had previosly been riding track bikes in jamaica as youths. Years and years ago, and probably still today, riding a track bike in jamaica was more common than riding a freewheel one. I have spoken to many people 50 plus that used to ride them....

Anyone here got an idea of decent affordable trailers for food transportation, for business use. Had a little look...but just wondered if anyone had any tips. Alternatively anyone got any ideas on good all in one delivery bikes.
Thanks

the place you need to pay is on queen victoria st ec4, the bank end, forgotten the number tho

Theopapa...i think at natureboy is referring to 'time' pedal system rather than 'spd'. Time system allows some movement and as a result there is no adjusting pedal tightness. Can make fit tighter by turning the cleats around...Free float also means you are less liekly to unclip accidently...

on off the peg 2005 condor alloy pista...miche set

On the note of the recent discussion, how do I calculate my gear in inches? Currently riding 47x16, and it has royally mashed up my knees. Gonna swap to 47x18, and wanted to see the percentage difference.

Impatience in a Hgv can be very frightening. A foreign HGV the other day tried to accelerate and squeeze past a car on left side at (I think) junction of bishopsgate going into wormwood st. He did it with such disregard, that he mounted the kerb and there was the real potenital for him to tip over. Cyclist that was on his outside would have bee mincemeat, doesn't bear thinking about. I just think there should be restrictions during the day on these hgv's that have limited knowledge of driving in london.

yeah tramps guess your right, and if you talk to a cabbie styationary they're usually sound blokes...skipp lorries, i just cower from innit

nah man, thats stupid...nothing to do with old people...silly thing to say...why would you say that..we're all gonna be old one day...but we don't all have to be rude and grumpy

I love thos green huts, can get a damn good bacon sandwich at the Pont street one...they're pretty friendly to messengers there....but can't agree with tramps, i have let good few cab drivers know that they nearly ran me over the road...but they never noticed...instead got out the cab and challenged me...thinking i had done something to their cab!!!

hippy Coming into summer there's probably a thousand other riders who've thought about giving it a go. One day a week? Um.. didn't know anyone would employ on that basis?

yeah, already seen quite a few new faces, and i've got mates that have been asking about it, more likely to be doing little part time bits once you have the experience

we don't work on saturday and sunday ;-)
