Spokecards...
Friday wasn't too busy. I was bored then, and I'm bored now...

Sorry bro, I'm not a 'posenger'
. Just a messenger who actually has an internet connection (and broadband at that!), along with a serious fixedgear/internet addiction.Friday was soo boring, I even volunteered for a £2.50 job from The City to pick up in Camden to drop off in Mayfair!(think a total of 45min. riding around London for about $4) The prostitute cards are just an example of my boredom (along with this post on a dull saturday night).

Those cards look just like the T and A advertisements of the phone booths.

proper spokecards- what are they all about?

so is an alleycat race a point to point race i.e no set route or is it more structured?

yeah twas last week, monday as i left my phone at work over the weekend and had to go in on the first day of my holiday.
the steed is a singlespeed, not sure enough of my abilities to try fixed at the moment, plus lack of money meant that when i was building it i could only afford a 'normal' hub.
cheers for the info, and nice ride.

harBut, sadly, Miller (along with Bud) can be found fairly easily around London.
But only women drink it!
Personally, I prefer Budvar, Grolsh, Kronenburgh or Foster's. But definitely miss my Sweetwater (ATL swill)
