Does anyone from london england ever meet up to ride?
I would like to join a cycling club, but not sure if i will fit in or will enjoy it. i love to ride, but i am not a serious rider, more leisure and cruising... ;)

Oh, and if you get a copy of London Cyclist (the organ of the LCC), there are contact details for the various local groups and rides.

Haha!! Was my first thought exactly!

Somebody was trying to put together a fixed ride (tho I think it was just laps around Regent's Park or something) over at the cyclingplus forums (look under 'special interests'). And I've met quite a few of the folks over at the acf forums through critical mass.
There seems to be a decent online fixed community here in the UK, but nothing really tangible. Unless you count us couriers, but bike messengers and community go hand in hand!
