yesterday while moving my entire life from paris to london, in 4 huge bags including my fix and a frame i found on the street that i'm going to build up for my girlfriend, spotted two guys with evan's cycles bags running through...
anyone from on here?
i was amazed how easy it is to bring a bike on the eurostar

Yup, they are pretty bike friendly on the eurostar when I used it last summer. Even if you don't tell them in advance you just gotta pack it down - I wrapped mine in bin liners and masking tape!

Can anyone recommend a decent (cheap) cycle bag or case for using on plane.

Yeah, a cardboard box.

Eurostar is great, used it many times. A good tip though is to get to the front of the boarding line. That way you get your bike onto the train first and can swing those metal grates down and store your bike better.

I think they specify that the box shouldn't exceed:
L : 200cm
H : 100cm
W : 50cm

Sleeper train, Waterloo, Lille, Berlin. so bike friendly it hurts. Totally sh=its on airports.

I'm so tempted to do that.

Do it, Berlin is an ace city for bikes, cars stop, people smile, the sun always shines, you may even meat the woman of your dreams. Oh and everybody @ the keirin bike shop will be really pleased to see you.. yes sir..

yeah and Berlin rocks...

Plus they got that Fernsehturm.

Anyone here been up the Atomium?

Rode past it..

Called Tele-Spargel "asparagus". Berlin is fantastic apart from the fact that there is no jobs.
It must be no. 1 broke captial of Europe. having 60 Billion debt and unemployment rate of 20%

I have been to the atomium. ( to body centered cubic Iron-carbon structure a.k.a "steel" for the non- engineers onboard )
It is very cool to take the escalators through the connections. but the inside is covered with silly TinTin Comics (also belgian) at display which
take a bit the awe for the architecture away

I was in Berlin at the weekend. The keirin cafe is awesome! Really friendly guys.

Also that city is so respectful of cyclists, cars actually stop to let you pass. It is a shame there are no jobs.

and the kebabs are sooo cheap and nice.. mmm
and if you like minimal techno you're set!

hippy !
have you not heard about the kebab scandal in Berlin ?

Is there anyone you does not like Minimal ? I would not have come to London
if de:bug would not ship here...

haha.. i was never ill.. but I have Mildura Iron Guts(tm) that allows me to consume almost anything without any ill effects.
Rancid = spicy seasoning :)
