Boris Bike race?

EKE_38BPM

I heard on the news that on the third of December Boris Bikes are going to be deregulated or whatever its called so that you can turn up, stick in a payment card and ride off. No need to register for a key anymore.

So, if the Xmas meal is on the 10th, that means that we could have a race.

Same equipment = level playing field. No need for FCN or any modifiers, just straight up racing.


Who's up for it?

Hmm, wonder if they noticed the few scalps I've collected so far :shock:

I have thought about a race with work colleagues a few times, but I was going to investigate fitting clipless pedals first :evil:
