You can bring your bike and get it fixed while you’re there.

Actually this has reminded me, because I work quite close to it, a few months ago I was stopped on the street by a man with a heavy French accent asking in broken English where the nearest place was to get a drink, and I was able to answer him in triumphant schoolboy French “Turnez a la droit, c’est un cafe s’appelle Regardez Maman, Sans le Main!”

“That’ll be £5.95 please”

“Here’s £1.50. Welcome to 1995 motherfucker”

Do it.

Well that would only work if he actually knew what the English of that looked like.

Also, poor bastard having to mix with you Cycle clowns. :frowning:

Stop this!

Don’t you know that if you mention bike stuff three times on this forum Jeremy’s Iron comes along and declares it the cycling thread?!

Mate, I got my bike in exchange for a bottle of wine (thanks @the_ravens) and it currently lives in my cupboard. Don’t lump me in with those lycra twats.

Can’t say the same about the wine - not even sure it made it to a flat surface before being opened and drunk :slight_smile:

I know this is going to sound really smug but I’ve never really had a problem with balancing my use of mobiles. I never look at it when I’m out and about unless I have to use the map or I’m just waiting around for someone or something. tbh, I don’t even like using it on my commute or on plane journeys - big fan of just sitting.

Walk past that every day. Filled to the gills with cunts.

used to walk past it every day when I lived near old st. Was never really sure what it was - definitely full of cunts though.

Ah, cycle cafe. See, at the time, I didn’t regard that as a thing that could even exist so found the place really confusing.

Reminds me of that line from Ford Prefect in the radio version of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:

When I go to bed at night, I don’t need to read a book - I just glance through my brain for half-an-hour.

LMNH is actually a very decent cafe. Their coffee is spot on and the pies and salady bits at lunch are excellent, as well as the breakfasts.

#78

true and i’m the same but it’s an issue of self-discipline, it’s ridiculous to try and enforce it in this kind of context. being in a cafe paying for overpriced coffee is one of the few times where it makes logical sense to be on your phone

Please note I had no comment on the offerings of the cafe itself.

Surprisingly good range of beers, too.

surely alcohol should be the last thing a cycling cafe offers its customers?
