where's my dubstep cycling crew??

anyone looking to do the Dunwitch Dynamo (120 miles through the night from hackney to suffolk).. or the London 2 Brighton.. or just generally spend the summer on their bike making bassfaces and pulling gunfingers??

anyway i'm well up for organising some rides, outings, general bicycle fun.. come we do this..

I love cycling! I'd love to do some rides with the forum crew but I live in scotland, oh well. Don't think I could manage 120 miles in one go, the most I've ever done is about 50

I live in dundee which is about one and a half hours in the car from edinburgh so too far for me to cycle! Riding from london to edinburgh would be well impressive, how long do you think it would take you to do that? I really want to see pinch and distance but I don't know if I'll be able to, I'm a student and I've got exams soon but I don't know what dates they are

Damn, I used to be nuts about Cycling. Had a nice road bike and the works, had to sell it recently due to LA being a crappy place to cycle if you want to stay alive.

Now, I'm a fatty fat American.

I got a bike for commuting last summer, been trying to get a decent road bike ever since.

but the wife doesn't understand exactly why I need a 16-pound bike, my 30-pounder should be fine right???

haha, some day...

Drunk cyclists are hilarious, a danger to themselves, but nonetheless hilarious.

Gotta love the dubstep wheel barons.

I've spend 8 years doing semi-pro roadcycling, back in the day. Now I ride around London on my dirtjump bike, doing some tricks and stuff. Wouldn't be able to do 120km on this bike.

khs bikes feel real nice to ride. Not sure what it is, but they're just fun to be on.

as for fixies - there are too damn many in this town. I mean, fixed is great an all, but if you're gonna ride one, learn how! That means, get some muscles, and don't ride with busted pedals lol.

bnj · Post by **bnj** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:36 am

i noticed when i coast i tend to not want to pedal anymore.
hence the fixed-lust. i hate the way it turned into a style/scene though.
sadly, the biggest turn off inst the pedaling or the extra work, its the inevitable "bike talk" with a douche bag : ( i think pretending to not understand english might solve that, though.

i agree there can be something wanky about fixed scene etc.. but fuck it, fixed gears are so great and beautiful!
