Many of you here will already be aware of the LCC's Love London, Go Dutch campaign. But please do sign the petition and pass it on to friends and family!
http://petition.lcc.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1745&ea.campaign.id=13331
Oliver S or Velocio... is it possible to put the petition link at the top of the forum as a sticky? At least until the end of the campaign?

did this sell in the end?

Had some of this brewer's finest last night in the Montpelier in Peckham. it's called 'London Particular' - absolutely lovely stuff, tried one pint and went back for three more. Nuff said.

Around 09:10 this morning, bloke receiving treatment from paramedics on side of New Cross Road going westbound, just past New Cross Gate station and before the bus garage. He was conscious and sat upright on the floor.
He was riding fixed I think (saw a purple frame propped against the wall) and there was another cyclist stood there on the phone. Couldn't see that there was a vehicle involved or not - maybe it was a bike collision? Wouldn't like to think he got clipped and the driver just buggered off.
Either way it hopefully wasn't too bad an accident - heal up quick whoever you are.
p.s. sorry for date format fail.

Anyone had a tipple of this? I don't know how they can actually call it beer at 41% volume.
YES, FORTY ONE PER CENT.
:o

So, glaring omission of Rigwelter and Old Peculiar.
ey, don't get me wrong - if they're available i'm on it. i was just listing what i'd had that wknd - and it's very rare to find black sheep or theakstons on tap in london (apart from weak-ass-non-hand-pulled stuff like what they serve on the south bank) and like i say i try to drink london's famous local london ales when i'm here. when i'm back at the rents it's a yorkshire bitter every time lad, my stepmum puts a few riggwelter and old peculiar in the shopping basket if she knows i'll be about!
was enjoying this at the union cycle works launch in deptford last night, tasty stuff, a very malty brew
-
Sam Smiths is £1.99 in London int it? for the Old Brewery Bitter anyway...Only £1.53 in my local back home. VERY popular with sixth formers i tell thee. On a related note, good map of all their pubs here.
In fact, there are ones far enough apart in London to have an organised ride between a few of them I reckon... could even be brave and include the Anerley Arms all the way down in Crystal Palace! Sydenham Hill ftw.

Quite liking Everything Everything. Remind me a lot of these guys - http://www.myspace.com/thempostwaryears Done gigs with them in the past, proper nice lads. Debut album didn't really seem to do it for them though... [URL="http://www.myspace.com/thempostwaryears"][/URL]

Was back home in Yorkshire this weekend and had these
^both made down the road from home in relatively new breweries
and even though it pains me to say it (wrong side of the Pennines), the tastiest of the lot was:
when in london i try to keep it local (ish) too, so mostly these (not really into Sambrooks, and find Meantime over-priced for what it is):
...so yeah, i like em dark, strong and full of flavour!

absolute beauty... shame it's too small.

Anyone out there have any old steel/chrome/alu mudguards?
the stubby, brakestay/fork crown mounted variety?
like these basically
?

very glad to hear this ended well, and kudos to all the riders who stopped to help out!
so... i ride OKR pretty much 4 or 5 times a week. all the way from new x to bricklayer's arms from where I head central via great dover st/marshalsea road/southwark st/blackfriars.
there are loads of other cyclists using the road too - and many forumengers it seems. it is by far the most dangerous part of my commute/route into town, especially the stretch heading south between tesco and ilderton road (the bulk of the road)... the worst part is motorbikes doing upwards of 35-40mph down the bus lane in the rush hour, plus the surface is absolutely shite in the 2-3 metre space next to the kerb for pretty much the whole road until you get to that bit that has just been relaid (when it turns into new cross road).
is there something simple that could be done to make it safer? some kind of critical mass-lite to time people's ride back SE? or is there a good bypass route that doesn't add too much time to the journey? it should be publicised if so! which back roads are best?!
