Why are people treating it like a memory test?

That's cheating, you mean you don't know what time!!

I first visited cycle chat on a day when 2 cyclists and a pedestrian were killed/crushed under HGVs in London. As I was the only cycle commuter in my area at work, a colleague told me about them (at the time, the pedestrian accident was mis-reported as another cyclist), and googling them led me to CC, which had info on all three collisions.

If road.cc had appeared further up the search results, I may never have found CC

11th of April 2010, so 6 years!

Currently I seem to be the only '6' in the poll.

About 8 years, I first found CC whilst laid up after a crash, after a few months I joined up

 

[Markymark]

Well, Shaun and a number of London cyclists who'd seen me around first started begging me to join around 6 years ago. After a year of negotiations, we finally agreed upon an amount for CC to pay for me to join so it's been around 5 years.

2 years 10 months.
Amazingly, the same length of sentence I received for that unfortunate incident in the disabled toilet at Victoria Station in the late 80's.

To make this more interesting, how about first posts?

This was (apparently) my debut https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/first-commute-done.73015/post-1338578

Dammit! I've started doing a 17m commute occasionally and justified to myself that it's taking me much longer than others I've read about in other forums because I am cycling through London with it's lights, traffic and other cyclists. But if you can do 15mi in an hour then I've got to own my 1 1/2 hour++ as my fault :-)

If I could hit your speed it would be much faster than my multimode (with folidng bike) or TFL only commute.

If you are still experimenting routes, I'm finding coming through Chiswick roundabout/Chiswick High Road/Kensington/Hyde Park is pretty good, though Piccadilly Circus is pretty bad after about 8am - no room to filter, though lots of cyclists do - and Hammersmith Gyratory is challenging west bound. It does give me Syon House and Hyde Park twice a day, which is nice. Alternatively, if you are going through Richmond park, have you tried exiting through Roehampton gate, then through Putney Heath and using the A3 to join the "superhighway" near Clapham Common.

Also, try tfl cycling site which gives some decent routes.

(I guess I joined 6 days after my first visit, a day two cyclists died)

I was looking for hardcore porn and came stumbled across this site. I was curious, so stayed!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Did your iPad autocorrect your search from 'bi curious' to 'bike curious'?

Yes yes, very good!

Thank goodness it doesn't log how many hours I've spent on here, avoiding work and drinking tea!

S'what I did, 15th Nov 2009

Oh you would, trust me.

I was a Bikeradarist but it had its annoyances, CC had been mentioned a few times on there so I wandered in for a look round and stayed.
