Wait, isn't Regent's Park about a 3 mile lap?
So we're trying to get the Boris Bikes to average more than 6mph... doesn't that seem a little pessimistic?
Or have I got the distance wrong?0 -
2 laps is 6 miles
In 30 mins is 12mph
Now whats' a Boris Bike and where's this Regent Park???“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Ahhh reading-fail...
12mph seems a lot more realistic!0 -

Do we all use the same dock? Which? If so it's a proper race. As well as free entertainment at sub30...

Doesn't have to be any specific time or date just the challenge although I could see how spectating might be fun.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Hmmm.... Iv done 11mph avg for 3.5miles inc traffic lights, but keeping the speed up on a bobike for 6 miles would be tough i thinkB'Twin Sport 1

I'm guessing the ones next to London Zoo, otherwise you have to ride further just to get to the route.0
