QUOTE OF THE WEEK
 

“An engineer designing from scratch could hardly concoct a better device to unclog modern roads – cheap, nonpolluting, small and silent…” - Rick Smith

 

BICYCLIST KNEES OF THE WEEK

Agne has rejoined us sporting a pair of natty knee supports. Doesm't seem to slow her down though ...

 

BICYCLE OF THE WEEK

And this is her Liv '501' replacing the wheels she had stolen last year. Its actually an Ultegra quipped Liv Envie Aero Racer. But which one? Have fun guessing from this page: https://www.liv-cycling.com/us/bikes

FINALLY

 

Four of us are planning to do next Friday Night's Ride to the Coast. The destination is Whitstable for breakfast starting from under Waterloo Bridge at midnight. It is still not too late to join us. If you have never done a night ride you really have missed out on a great experience and the FNRttC is the original - and best - way to start. The Ride itself is free but you must register and have CTC/BC or LCC insurance. Reply to this eemail if you need more info or go here:
