Passed a rider down around 8.10am where Leyton High Road meets Lea Bridge Road at the crossroads. Large garbage truck involved. It seemed to have been turning right into Leyton High Road and was stationary half way across the other lane when I arrived. Ambulance was in attendance and cyclist being stretchered away.

Get well soon!

In, will be meeting the Mile End road feeder 17.30

Does anyone have any experience with Cyclosure Bike Insurance?

I believe they’ve only recently started offering insurance for everyday cyclists who don’t take part in pro races and triathlons etc.

I’m currently looking for bike insurance on my bike – worth a grand. I suppose I just want insurance that I can rely on - including a new for old policy.

I’ve trawled through various posts and forums and people have advised ETA, however as far as I’m aware ETA only offer a one off premium payment – not monthly direct debit. Is this correct?

Any info/advice/past experiences on the above would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Yes, I will most certainly spend this weekend test riding some bikes, including a Moda! It’s unfortunate that the Ribble HQ is all the way in Preston though

Has anyone had any experience with the Moda Bolero? Still torn between the Ribble Winter/Audax and something that looks a little racier such as the Bolero...

Yes Hugo, cycle scheme it is! Having the cash to hand would have been ideal really

Thanks for the response JB, is there much difference between the Shimano SORA groupset and the Campagnolo Veloce groupset?

Hi all,

Ok so I have around £750 to spend on a new road bike to replace my Fuji Feather 2012. I need something I can commute to work with and to participate in some rides around London and its surrounding counties. Therefore I have opted for a road bike over another fixed gear.

I currently have my eye on the Ribble Winter Trainer and the Felt F95. I’ve read that the Ribble is excellent value for money in terms of the parts used, plus it is a fantastic looking bike. In fact I prefer the aesthetics of the Ribble over the Felt.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these bikes?

I realise 750 pounds isn’t going to get me much but are there any other bikes in this price range I should consider looking at?

Thanks!

That guy's account of what happened sounds horrific. A dreadful thing to happen, and to witness.

Thanks Arvy, I printed that map out to take with but ended up just locking my bike opposite Boyger King as beanpie had suggested.

That Champagne Bar is a complete joke. I would seriously avoid.

You end up getting drunk and then spend all your money in Reiss or the COS store, which has been conveniently placed opposite the Champs bar.

Afternoon all,

Does anyone know if there is any safe cycle parking in or around Stratford Westfield now? I’ve heard they’ve restricted it due to the Olympics. Any info would be hugely appreciated.

I've tried ringing Westfield, the local council etc but they know sweet fa.

This completely defeats the purpose of you getting a haircut for £20 or less, however I would recommend Genco in City Point near Liverpool Street. The guy Paul who runs it is an absolute G when it comes to men's hair, always consistent, gin & tonic or a beer in the fridge for when you get there, loads of banter, he also understands when a man (like myself) has no interest in football. Defo worth a try if you're willing to let go of 38 golden coins.

Afternoon all,

I'm a first time poster, been reading the forum for a couple of weeks now. Have gathered a lot of useful information from lfgss as of late!

Recently got back into riding after a number of years of partying hard. Since the influx in tourists to the capital for the Olympics I decided against using public transport, haven’t looked back since and absolutely love it! Wahey!

Mr Toppers should be banished. Went to the Tottenham Court Road branch one summer's lunchtime a few years ago. They literally spent 2 minutes on my hair. There were no other punters in the shop. It looked like shit. I'm sure you get the jist.

There is a cheap barbers in South Woodford, called Hair Male. They do cut's around the £10-12 mark I believe.

This scheme is great! I have friends who have partaken in the scheme. Although it is only restricted to certain shops etc.

Ha, Arnie rules!
