Education We Like to Ride Bicycles

^^ Sounds good

I was out on the my 1.2 for a good 3 hours this afternoon... Loving it more and more every time I go out... Its a really nice feeling overtaking cars going down hills

 

Definitely need a roadie meetup (there's like four of us right?).

 

I'm not a proper roadie yet, but I bought my mates old Cannondale off him to get into it, I've only been on a couple of rides after work but it's been good fun so far .

I'm not really fussed over what type of riding it is at the moment so long as I get out on a bike.

 

Police are investigating after carpet tacks were spread across roads bringing a major cycle race to a halt.

Why won't they embrace the lycra clad luuve.

 

Nasty... I would have hunted that sh!t bag down and introduced my foot to his wing mirror.

Who says you can't teach these morons a lesson before it's too late.

 

Been to Hindhead today for some very wet, very muddy, and very slippy downhillery, with a few crashes for good measure: fun Now off to soak my aching muscles in the bath.

 

Super sliding sideways action, good ride!

 

what would be the point, he obviously doesn't use it so therefore wouldn't miss it.

 

decided to get my fat lazy ass back into MTBing a while back and shiny new Kona Hoss arrived today in a hueg box from wiggle
Went for a quick 2m whip round the park after setting everything up

i am so terribly unfit

Just seen that, Boris is rather lucky!

 

Having said that a super highway of these fixie idiot poseurs would cause just as many accidents.

 

Got chatting to a guy with one of these today during a quick stop halfway through my ride...

It looked utterly amazing

 

Anyone here ride DMR Chieftain MK II cranks on their bike? if you do, could you roughly guess or whip it out and measure the axle length?

 

My mate has one of those.
Nice bikes.

If he was cycling around available for a chat on that bike he wasn't doing it right.

 

I'm finally taking the plunge and buying a fixie. Got my work to pro-deal (cost minus ten percent) me one of these babies:



23lbs steel fixie, with the option to go freewheel via the flip-flop hub. Will be swapping out the stem/spacers/bar/seatpost for carbon stuff (thinking easton, but may go race face). The tires will also be going, but I haven't decided upon a good set yet (want a semi-slick, with a good bit of traction for when I need it).

Should have it within a week or two.

 

He said he'd done his 20 laps of the lake and stoped for some water..

 

Why was he riding around a lake on that bike?

 

Change of scenery?

 

Because though it's a nice bike, its not good enough to let him ride on it?

 

Nice, I've been toying with the idea of buying a fixie, or a nice road bike. I have a good mtb at the moment but want to try something new.
