Good old days

I am on my phone at the moment so may be different. Just clicked the x to close the window and clicked the video. Probably also on YouTube.

yes it worked for me as well.

Though initially it sneakily tried to suggest that you should go onto facefark to access it.

Sod that

Despite my best intentions to give up on the thing, I am curious to work out why you lot can see it but I can't ... Are the successful of you using iPhones? My Galaxy S4 and Firefox aren't having it.

My laptop won't let me watch it, (I think they may be all closet farcebook users that can access it)

I did use farcebook to open the link, and a jolly interesting link it was to. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for posting that link, fascinating stuff, though I wouldn't want ride any of the bikes featured.

Don't see too many cyclists around in dress shoes and a flasher coat these days.

Don't see too many people around in them, either!

Can we use this thread to slag off the BBC for only posting its archive to face berk AFAICT - why is our licence-fee-funded work being given away as a recruiting sergeant for the 'book?

Enjoyed that. It was nice to see so much of the streets and buildings not being hidden from view by constant traffic.
FB is just part of modern life. It is how you use it that matters. Our club now uses it to arrange runs etc as the original website people were ripping us off.

Plus one.

I reckon those clubs and bicycle user groups not currently using fb would do better if they embraced the network advantage it offers to reach out to riders and (currently) non-riders.
Use it for what you want to use it for, and leave/ignore the rest.

And what should they do for their "faceblocked" members? Exclude them? Facebook is a nice add-on, but should not lead the online activities of any group IMO.

And what should they do for their "faceblocked" members?

"Faceblocked: To be prevented from using facebook, myspace or any other social networking site on the internet. Primarily due to overuse by co-workers and paranoia by CEOs of companies, where people do less work than they use these sites."
Do you want 'faceblocked' people on your rides? Are any of the current KLWNBUG 'members' 'faceblocked'?
WhatsApp for the 'in' crowd.
