London Freewheel - 21st (was 23rd in 2007!) Sep

Yeah man, sponsored by Hovis so free sarnies. We've got a posse from my local pub headed up so unless there's something to soak the early day booze up with, it could get very messy.
 
May well turn up for this. Think I'll put the speakers in my backpack for that proper CM feeling :)
 
I know, it's terrible, it clashes with Leytonstone car Free day.:(

Still, Leytonstone doesn't have free sandwiches.



;)
 
Wish I was around for this but I'll be riding a round a loch in Scotland instead. On my own. Without 38,000 other people. Bliss. :D

No bloody free sarnies though :mad:

The date is written at top of every post!

And if you have a problem working out which day of the week it will be in 5 days time, you can always click on the calendar at the top of every page. :)

I can't be arsed to look , it's much easier to get people to tell me :D

I may not bother with this , it might be nice riding round london with no cars about but there will be fuck loads of cyclists which will make it even worse IMO :(
 
I just got something through the post which I'm going to have to go to the sorting office to collect, as it wouldn't fit through the letter box.

Oooh, I wonder what it could be? :D

It had better have a bell and a bib and a letter from ken in it.

Is it a proper bell? I could do with a proper bell, my bell on my bike is really quiet and lame.

*ting* rather than *HONK*.
 
Honk is for horns and pigs not bells. Ting and ringaling is for bells. Are they really giving away 38,000 free sandwiches? Somebody is going to be busy spreading the old axle grease for that lot. I wonder how they will make sure nobody goes back for a second sandwich. The logistics of planning that bite to eat looks worse than the whole of the rest of the organising.

Naah, it's Hovis, they'll have had their factory workers on spreading detail for the last few days.
I imagine they'll have a trestle table at some pinch point where going back round through it a second time will be inconvenient if not impossible.

Ting and ringaling don't cut it when being mown over by an arctic on a four lane roundabout. I want one that goes oi fuckoff you blind cunt
 for those special cycling moments.

It's a pretty decent bell. It has a bit for attaching it to your bike, it has 'Hovis London Freewheel Sunday 23rd Sept 2007' on it, and makes a good Ting.

Bastards! :D I signed up for this about 3 months ago and so did Jan, and we haven't recevied a bib OR a bell! Or a letter from Ken! :(

*sobs*
 
If anyone fancies meeting up at some point during this, I'd be upferrit! :)

I'm waiting by the door, hoping my bib and bell are going to plop through the letterbox. *cries*

I'm up for meeting up! It might be a bit tricky as we're coming from our northern finsbury park 'hub', we'll probably have our own northern sammiches and everything.:D But I have your number so I can always text you or something?

I'm going to collect my book bells and whistles tomorrow, hopefully.
 
Do you have to register for this? I don't want to wear no steenkin' branded bib, but I'd like to support the venture.
 
Do you think someone somewhere is having a spot of trouble with their bell and bib logistics?

Cool! :) We're starting at Clapham Common if anyone else is going from there. It may be impossible to find people amongst 40,000 other cyclists but we can do the texty tingaling!

I had an email from Lambeth Cyclists this morning. Apparently the Freewheel computer system has gone on meltdown. Which explains the lack of some bib 'n' bells :D

Personally I don't mind wearing a bib - as long as it's got no adverts/logo shite on!
