Me and the missus took our old schoolers out for a spin around the little conurbation known as London Village. Started off from Bethnal Green tube, after being given a bollocking by tube staff for taking cool bikes on the tube, then went past St Paul's, across the wobbly footbridge over the Thames, then down the Thames Path all the way to Greenwich. Took a few snaps of my Street Beat and her Aero Reflex opposite some big bridgey thing with some towery bits on it. Photos from a camera phone so aren't great......

Wow that is so cool! I can imagine there being carnage on the roads with a gang of Hells Angels like that riding together through London.

Great to see so many old school bikes being ridden about!

You cant beat a cruise on the OS bikes, even two have a laugh, but when a 100 of us hit the roads, then you gotta watch out

They're all cracking pictures.

I'm looking forward to doing something like this. I still think we should have a cruise down Brighton seafront.

there was a security gaurd who had 1 bike to many to cope with

he was getting a little hot under the collar (muppet jobs worth)

pickle · « **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2007, 07:48 PM »

yeah he was complete muppet!! Oi you can't ride those on here!!! Twonk!

It was funny riding down Oxford ST and brining it to a stand still

We WILL be doing the same again this year! although we'll have a better map and maybe Flaz (as i know you ised to be a cycle curier)

you might lend a hand with that??

a fooking cracking day!!! and i didn't know anyone before then.......the kids who came along were superb too, i didn't hear one of them complain.......although there were plenty of us all complaining about those plastic seats!!

RATTY · « **Reply #10 on:** May 05, 2007, 08:07 PM »

My sproggs and mates managed to rack up 3 punctures that day, I still didnt moan "much". Cant wait till this year

pickle · « **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2007, 08:09 PM »

SaMAlex · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2007, 08:34 PM »

Coastvl · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2007, 12:25 AM »

Thats a bunch of cool pics. I guess you might take it for granted being in London. I wish I could cruise London with a bunch of mates.
Seriously cool stuff guys.

Flaz · « **Reply #20 on:** May 06, 2007, 02:07 AM »

it was a cracking day next time tho, meet up a bit earlier and have a planned route rather than just winging it

oxford st was the maddest and down haymarket when matey came off his burner

that was pretty mad stuff

Maurice Meyer · « **Reply #21 on:** May 06, 2007, 07:00 AM »

Awesome!!! Dude with the ET setup is ruling! Next time I come to the UK I'm bringing a bike for sure.

Steve_W · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2007, 08:55 AM »

That looks super fly...gotta get on the next one...erm, anyone fancy Birmingham? Some decent places to get Rad just using your surroundings...Sunday would be best though!

Nice one!

You can say that again! My arse didn't hurt to much afterwards, but it's pretty tough I think after years of riding bikes! The missus was moaning about her battered and bruised behind for days though. She could do with a fatter arse.

What surprised me most was how easy it was to ride the Skyway, handles beautifully, ideal for nipping in and out of traffic, and bunny hopping up and down kerbs. Twenty years since I've rode a bmx any distance, didn't take too much getting used to again.
Really enjoyed riding it.

Thinking I might start riding it a bit more often, with that in mind, I think I will take the Haro tyres off it to preserve them and put modern ones on it. Can you get decent modern tyres in green? Going to get red Tuff's for it too eventually.
