The London Bike Show Sportive Saturday
RIDE IT have joined up with the London Bike Show to give you a full biking day! Come along early to beat all the traffic and join us for a 60mile Sportive, long enough for a decent ride but short enough to get you back in time to go and explore the Bike Show and ogle all the nice shiny stuff that you really do need. The £30 price includes the RIDE IT and full entry to the show, a saving of £10 on the combined ticket price. And we’ll even throw in a goody bag from the show.
Route
We start off from Excel with an urban ride heading north out of London and into Epping Forest before crossing over the M25 and into the countryside. One 40mile loop and a drink station later we bring you back into London to finish back at Excel where you can browse through the show at your own leisure.
Parking
There is parking available in the area the RIDE IT starts from but this is STRICTLY LIMITED. You must add the parking option to your basket from the purchase page in order to reserve your place. This is per car and not per rider, so if three of you are coming in one car then you need to purchase 3 rides and one parking place. This will show as free but you MUST pay and display on site at the current rate for the show. Once these places are sold out you will need to find your own parking.
Trains
You can use the DLR and leave at Prince Regent station for the best access to the RIDE IT area. Please follow the RIDE IT signs from the station

That made me think of that "Hot Fuzz" comedy movie... so many truths in it.
Good to see a V-brake option available for all those people who ride Cosmic Elites with V-brakes...seriously, you must know really that the answer...

It was a slip-up.
Nonono, not those, but those that have constructed Italian cars and motorcycles that have been driven to hundreds of race and championship...
This may well be the case although Im unaware of the brands popularity on their home turf. I used to see them being advertised more in the UK...
Arguably sticking it in a bank account is bad....
I'd counter that those brakes were in fact so inadequate that they eventually developed a whole new type of bicycle that was actually suited for it...
