London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Hey All, To see the latest on the EHBPC's check out http://www.ehbpc.org/
We will keep the forum up-to-date but that site will have more details.

The weekend is panning out to be pretty fantastic. In the end, it's a celebration of cycling, and whether or not you play polo you should still be able to have a fantastic time and a great weekend out!
We'll have lots of parties and with 120 players from all over Europe coming (check out the registered teams on the site above!!!) it's going to be an event that hopefully the London cycling community at large will be very proud of hosting.
If you'd like to help out and join in the history-making please email at roxy "at" ehbpc.org

If you would like to offer a floor, couch, spare bed for players to sleep on, please email matt . vidal "at" ehbpc .org

It will be an amazing bike weekend, made even greater if LFGSS comes out and supports the occasion (by drinking, hanging out and watching people have fun on bikes).



We need a lot of volunteers to make this thing spectacular and it's great that people are signing up! You can sign up here if you'd like to volunteer. You don't need to play polo or know anything about polo to come lend a hand.

We just got back from the ECMC tourney in Berlin, and there were a lot of great teams. The games at the Euros here promise to be exciting.

Please email or pm me if you are willing to host for 2-4 days around the weekend of August 1-2.

But definitely come out to watch and hang out.

is there a chance to register a fourth team from munich?

Um, i've had one volunteer to house people for the Euros. Step up yo. I've personally crashed at houses in Berlin, MCR, and Paris in the last few months, all at bike events. Good connections. Good karma, to the extent that such exists.

Represent London. We probably need a dozen people to house a team for four days. Please email me or pm me. Email is better. mgvidal@gmail.com.

I've just emailed you.

Hey guys
I'm Edouard from "La French Cavalry" team (Paris).
I sent Matt Vidal an email a couple of days ago about accomodation since I (and possibly another team mate of mine) have nowhere to crash for the tourney.
He hasn't replied to me yet so I was hoping he would read this message on this forum or someone would let him know he's got an email from me on his ehbpc email address.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards from Paris!

Hey. Sorry -- I don't check that email account every day. I'll get back to you with details via email. Cheers.

i have a spare room in my house for anyone who needs a place to stay during the euro's and a back garden that will take a 3-4 man tent for the weekend
happy to help out

This weekend is going to be an amazing bike (polo) celebration, with lots of players and bikers from all over Europe. Be sure to come watch. And if you can help out with housing or spare a few hours to help out during the weekend, please sign up here for housing and here for other volunteer needs.

Brilliant :D

damn motherfucking shit, i'm out. three more weeks with these crutchs...
at least i hope that i can be a viewer of the ebpc.

That's shit man. Come for the parties and polo anyway!

That's terrible news.
Come for the drinking instead.

i hope that i can view the euros, but this i will decide 2 or 3 days before the euro-weekend in accord with the doctor.

You reckon the kid with the straightedge avatar is coming for the drinking?

Ha, that's what I get for having avatars turned off.

Eingang, come for the socialising.

eingang maybe there is a job as a referee, or you can order some beers for free only doing your hand in the air hehe :))

doods! you event people really need a couple of these!

Understandable.
