A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game
Saw a bunch of cyclists gathering outside Evans, London Bridge onthe way home yesterday, some of them were doing checks on their bikes. As I whisked past, I heard a larg bang, I guess as someone put just a little too much air in their tyre. Not sure if that was a Bike Tube?
I'm still Jash - just (finally) taking work related precautions!
Which include leaving a trail in your sig
Which will be removed in due course... otherwise folk would be confused, "who is this wonderful, witty and insightful new forumger?" they'd say. The sig adds a touch of bathos.

Back on topic, I took my bike to London for my first proper commute yesterday, I'd had a look at the Bike Tube website and nothing suited my purpose. It all seemed suited to some very specific purposes.
I just hope for all you Londoners sake that the roads were unusually grid locked yesterday, twas a somewhat slow and rubbish commute apart from Park Lane which was a joy, I claimed more scalps on Park Lane than I have in a full year of Yokelcommuting!

Park Lane can be a joy, especially heading south. I took that route yesterday, no Attica sightings though.

@ M.Cole - did you get my PM re changing username?
:oops: Yep
Can we have a vote on what it should be changed tooooo!
Rule #5 // Harden The censored Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
Yes, about that - I might end up doing it on a 15 year old bike if I don't get my back brake sorted, it stopped releasing so (on LBS advice) I've got it soaking in a sealed bag with a generous dollop of GT85.
I'm not exactly on peak form either but have still considered the option of diverting onto the long course if I'm having a really good day - bring it on.

They did also start at crazy o'clock in the morning!
Have you only one bike? :shock:

Cheers!

What do you get for passing a whole 'bike tube'?
Surgery and LOTS of stitches I would think.
