The chiming of the level crossing gates inspired me to use the spot, so it was just my cat like reflexes that that enabled me to leap from the saddle, slam the bike against the sign, whip out the camera and shoot at that moment. No waiting needed.

It's all in the pic, it's No60, Jurassic Park.

Yes, Trumpington Road. For a sharp pair of eyes, that makes it easy.

Totally just happened to be passing the spot this morning with a camera in my pocket... not at all a case of knowing where it was and after a week of looking a the forum deciding it was a good excuse to take a 20 mile ride at stupid o'clock this morning just cause I couldn't sleep.

Found it, Kaetsu Centre, Huntingdon Road
New spot

me and lee are thinking of doing the london to cambridge ride for BHF -anyone fancy it?.....given that I havent been on my bike for longer than 15 miles, i might need to start coming to thursday night rides...who likes to go at a slower pace??

[SIZE=2][/SIZE][SIZE=2]little ambitious for me i think???[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]Unless I'm going blind, there is no mention of the Londaon to Cambridge ride on the BHF site.
As far as I am aware, the ride is organised by Bike Events with entry fees (£18 individual or £17 per member for teams of 6 or more) going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. At least that is the one I am taking part in on July 25th.I'll be joining you all again on thursdays in acouple of weeks for the first outing since beggaring up my knee in Egypt last November. After convincing the hospital to not chop my leg into little pieces like they usually do, I'm finally back in the saddle.
see y'all soon

Hi guys,
Nice to meet you all thurs and put some faces to names. wont be joining ya every week, 4am starts don't mix to well hence my early dash, but will be back -
Speaking from a new to fixes and still proficent at falling off point view, they often hold useful snippits of info.

As an overweight, unfit newbie a more sedate social ride would be just the ticket. I must admit, the routes on here and the speeds you mention, although not scaring me, which they probably should, would definatly leave me needing to inhale more beer than a big block chevey drinks petrol.
-
Sod it! The day I think it's finally time to join you on the thursday bash, and you all seem to be planning on taking it easy (for a newbie), and the weather is half decent, I get stuck on the M11 for two hours and only get home at 7! Sums up my week really.
Next week maybe

It would be helpful to have some info on here as to how the cops dealt with you if you were in an accident and riding without a front hand brake.
I think it's important to phrase it this way to the cops/solicitors: "front hand brake".
It is my understanding that your drive train is a back brake and thus it is legal to ride with only one hand brake.My only tip here is to keep insisting that you "ARE NOT RIDING BRAKELESS". You are, perhaps, only riding with one drive-train powered back brake.
If someone ever gets the chance to use this, please come back on here and report how it went over.It is illegal to use any mode of transport on any of her majestys highway network if the vehicle in question does not have a means of retarding the back wheels. Fixed gear bike achieve this with drive train braking. Any single speed bike with a free wheel must be fitted with a rear brake to be used legal on the highway.
Great tread, saved, hopefully never to be used, but that's life!
