2010 RADBMX Charity ride! 5th September!!!

[ED209]

So bikes on the tube are not a problem then?

I have not experience of bikes and London... and am but a simple muggy c**try folk 

Anyone know of any parking near Waterloo... I'm gonna have to drive it all the way.

Trains are too expensive, take too long and don't get me there in time 

Other info I need as follows :

- Meeting Point is 10am under clock at Waterloo Station... never been  is it easy enough to find?
- What time will we get finished up?

catch the tube from High Barnet a few miles of the A1M M25 Junction as parking is cheap as chips and  the tube will take you into the city 

High Barnet Station, London Underground Ltd., Barnet Hill, Barnet, Herts, EN5 5RP get a travel card and off you go

[pickle]

some tubes won't allow you on Ed, but once you are on you can go anywhere......try cockfosters, i think they allow em on 

[ED209]

What about High Barnet like Brett suggests??? anybody?

Don't wanna feck about parking and getting in to find a cannae get on 

( 2 mins later )

Just had me a little google...

I quote...

"Folded bicycles can be taken free of charge on all sections of the network at all times.

Non-folding bicycles can be taken free of charge on some sections of the network outside peak times. Peak times are 07.30 - 09.30 and 16.00 - 19.00, Monday to Friday, except for public holidays.

In certain cases, as listed, non-folding bicycles may also be taken during rush hour in the opposite direction to the majority of travellers. Please be aware that riders of shit hot lovingly restored old school bmx bikes may take their rides on the tube whenever they fekkin like. If these cyclists are frequent RADBMX users then they can even move old or disabled people who may be blocking the paths of their lovely bikes."

What? straight off the website that

We always park next to the London Eye, As there is 4 of us and 4 bikes it's alot easier than train, Normally costs about a tenner.
 

[trasher]

me and rob had a bit of trouble last year on the tube ,,,we had to dodge the gaurds to get on to get home 

the las couple of years ,i,v parked in the underground car park ,on park lane ,,,,,fookin £16 though 

then a 10 minute ride .past buck house ,down the mall ,past trafalgar ,past the london eye ,into waterloo 

[pickle]

was a great laugh though    and was the first time i've had an issue getting back on the tube........the Embankment was okay though to get back on 

[stidds]

Am I right that meter parking in London is free on a Sunday?  Or is it safer bet to find a car park and pay the fee?

[pickle]

Yeah you can park for free but it's worth checking the signs as i don't think it's free for all of them Sean 

[ED209]

Rob... got another rider I think... on a SE cruiser... hope thats OK? its my mate Luke who was at the last Boardroom Night and came to MK... he's just got an ex-demo SE for £99 from someone he knows at Shiner after being totally taken by the ones he saw at MK 

Will find out about T asap and get him a Sponsor form.

4 people and 4 bikes means I'm driving to Waterloo... sure I'll find a spot somewhere 

[pickle]

thats cool Ed, if he can get another SE Floval for that dosh let me know! 

[ED209]

Thats exactly what I said... damm these ex-demo bikes that are cheap as chips and never seen by me 

thats cool Ed, if he can get another SE Floval for that dosh let me know!

I'm driving to Waterloo... sure I'll find a spot somewhere 

In the same boat, or rather car, will be driving down but as it's a Skyride will certain places be closed off in London for the cyclists as I recall last years skyride in Leicester, the centre was closed off to traffic.

Will try and get near Waterloo/poss see if an NCP is near by.

[pickle]

[Woz]

Hi peeps, bit late in the day but I'm in and dragging out another rider from BITD who's just dug out his old TA from his loft after 25 years, he's also got a Torker 280x up there.  Didn't know mushroom grips melted after 25 years..will order spares now just in case!

Dilema mate...it was brill to ride around on at MK after the initial purchase, but I'm now reluctant to use (carpet queen ). I could change the tyres, rims, brake pads, pedals, chainring so as not to mark em, but how far do you go. More than likely will ride the Vertigo or thinking of building up the Haro Shredder.

Rob, nice one mate re the parking info I could try and cycle from Brum

[Woz]

Anyone know if Tower Bridge is open to traffic or closed on the day?
