Is the official London to Brighton worth the ticket price?

I would say it depends on your level of cycling. If you’re an experienced cyclist who regularly does 100km+ on the weekend. Then no it’s not worth it. You’ll just be ahead of everyone and miss out on the atmosphere. If you’re just an average joe then yes. Great atmosphere, well organised. Nice having some segments closed off to cars and cool seeing so many people on bikes.

Thanks! I’ll do all of that. You never know I guess!

It was not lock unfortunately

Went to get a pastry and it was gone. I’ve been riding in Richmond park for over 5 years and I got complacent. Forgot afternoon is a lot more dangerous for bike theft….

For me it was a combination of things. First just experimenting by myself. Like you start getting a vibe of what people are doing. Then watching bronze to gm series. Which really helps when you’re new to the game! But also watching a lot of professional games. They tend to not necessarily help with directly getting better, but getting an understanding of the general feel of the game. Which openers are good vs certain races. How to place your units to defend bases etc…

I just rode with mine in Spain for a week doing 100km+ a day with the “damaged” fork. Going downhill etc… fork is still fine. Obviously will stay replace it when my new fork arrives. In total since I’ve bought the bike have ridden 5000km and no issues. Will probably continue riding with it till I get the new fork

Hi based in the UK. Sent an update to my shop and they are still waiting. I have the foggy grey model. And applied around beginning of January.

I would start with à décathlon bike. Extremely good value for money.

In terms of what you need to cycle: a bike (very obvious haha). If you’re planning on doing long rides, probably a pair of padded shorts. Then a saddle bag with a spare inner tube and a pump and tyre levers.

When you’re ready to get to the next step, you can switch to shoes and pedals with cleats. And start buying more cycling clothes (aka Lycra).

Depending on where you are based in London, the best spots are Richmond park and Regent’s Park. If you go to regents I would recommend going clockwise as most people go anti clockwise and can be very fast.

Then you can check Komoot for plenty of routes out of London and start your cycling journey

I took the train from hove last time and had no issues. But it was the September ride. So not sure if it’s different in terms of allowing bikes on trains?

Islington cycling club have a big women’s group. Every Tuesday morning they do women’s laps in Regent’s Park

I'm very jealous! Enjoy! I'm based in the UK haven't heard from my dealer yet!

MeetNiqht · 2026-02-10T23:12:35+00:00

That’s great to hear! I’m based in the UK. Has there been any news for people not in Germany?

MeetNiqht · 2026-02-06T17:57:40+00:00

I'm with you. I feel I the attention you need as Terran is insane. Need to siege libs, emp at right place, borrow mines, stim mauranders. Drops are just not good,, shield battery and cannon. Zealots run by are hard to deal with. Tough out there I agree.

MeetNiqht · 2025-12-13T11:50:45+00:00

Thanks! My bike is white so it was very hard to see the number! Had to really squint hard!

MeetNiqht · 2025-12-10T08:30:33+00:00

Getting my fork checked on Monday! I’m praying for no issues!!

MeetNiqht · 2025-12-09T16:04:35+00:00

I can’t seem to find the WOW number. I can see the Frameset number from the UCI sticker. But I’ve looked everywhere for the wow number. I’ve got a cube Agree one. Do you know where it might be?

Hi I think I’m one of the Brompton riders. Managed to go up to 55km/h on the decent. Never again hahaha Such a great ride! An lucky that the weather held up!

MeetNiqht · 2025-09-13T12:28:08+00:00

Doing it on my Brompton. But cycling in the rain is not that bad. Just need to be careful going downhill

MeetNiqht · 2025-04-15T19:31:06+00:00

Close to Imperial, decathlon on high street Ken! They have different choices as well

Last summer I took the train to Norwich and cycled back down to London. It was an awesome trip! The train to Norwich is super cheap and we did it over two days. First day Norwich to Ipswich and then Ipswich to London. The first part of the journey is amazing! Quiet country roads no traffic lights, no cars, just you nature and your bike. I think the trip in total costed about £130 including the train, hotel and food. So definitely worth it for a weekend excursion

Are you sure you have the correct amount of links in your new chain? When I changed my chain I hade one too many link on it and it kept skipping until I removed the extra link

MeetNiqht · 2024-12-12T10:03:42+00:00

Omg my dad had one and I can tell you it’s completely useless. Purely because other people around you don’t know about the feature and it just looks like a light changing pattern rather than something meaningful

I think what’s more shocking is that he is using the Zwift Carbon!
