I've looked at that pic about a billion times, and I still can't NOT laugh.
A friend of mine linked me to it... you know how the internet works

When I first moved to DC, I had a roommate who made a trip to SF to scout things out. We were thinking to move out there--this was, '91 or so. One of the bizarre things he brought back for me was a ****** brochure w/ all sorts of contacts listed in it and persuasive text as to why the ****** lifestyle was normal and how its members were a proud lot... just a little more Greek than most :shudder:

RPC - I can be up for the Sat morning PPTC ride, what about BLocks? The afternoon, I have to spiff up the Bandit so it can be sold. Anyone interested in a 1200cc 110HP 550lb fixie?
Ryan, Katie called about the bike, so she does want it.
I gave my sister a '73 "rahly" 3 spd a few years back, it collected dust, she has an electra now.
I'll call to see if she would want to sell the 3 spd, if yes, would you be able to gather it this weekend ?(South 20 St near trader joe's).

This a little delayed, but four or so pages back a guy named Boro9 emerged from the shadows and comented on cubicle life. Well, it turns out he has a blog and he says the following:
Can we send this guy a shirt (I'll pay for it if need be)? I mean he's a kindred spirit if I ever saw one, the least we could do is help him start the London Street Pirates before he hops the pond. Plus it would be cool to have the District Roger flying through the fog of London.

So… any London cyclists out there who like the idea of dressing down (or up), coming out on a beater, and pub crawling some suburb of London before we split?

Buro, there are a number of London groups that have been around since the late eighties. But they don't spend as much time on the internet. I know that one group used to rally at filthy mcnasty's on tuesday evenings.
You might want to check with London messenger companies.

I've still got some spokecards, if we are sending buro9 a t-shirt let me know and we can toss 1 or 2 of those in too. Also if anybody else wants one let me know.

Details for the PPTC 50:
Starts at 8:30a, Sutton Place (now Balducci's) is located at 3201 New Mexico, off of Cathedral Ave, near American University. The route will go through the rest of NW into Montgomery County, meander through Potomac to Beach Drive, and pass through Georgetown and Dupont Circle on the way back to the start.
Sunday ride: 30ish, from Capitol Hill Bikes, 8th Street, Eastern Market 9am. I hear the coffee shop ride is well attended. Photons has been on it and fixies get lots of compliments. A fast group also leaves at the same CapHill place, same CapHill time, so if you're more into speed and pacelining on DC streets they've got you covered.
Go London Pirates - I wish I could drop by the local and grab a pint right now!

So I think I'm gonna pick up a bag this weekend from reload and customize it myself rather than paying out the ass for it. quick question... anybody want to help me with screenprinting and fabric cutting/sewing? if not, looks like i get to learn to sew...
*edit: also, is there any fixie friendly centuries coming up in the mid fall? i know peter mentioned something about the seagull on sunday, is that fixie friendly? anybody want to start riding long distances every other wednesday (the ones without polo) as a training of sort. we could do a half century every other wednesday and stop for food around the midpoint. we would meet where ever around 6:30-7. i know, late ride, but still it would be fun.
