West 5 Cycles

Cycling, fixed-gear bike building and life on two wheels only

London to Paris

There is nothing that gets you cycling faster than picking a goal that might just challenge you a little bit. So I have gone for mine. I will ride from London to Paris in August in support of the National Autistic Society. That is my challenge. Which bike am I doing it on? Good question – given that there are some serious hills between London and Paris I will probably have to put up with doing it on the road bike instead of the fixie, although the thought tickles my imagination. If you fancy coming along – there is more info here. And if you are feeling charitable, you are welcome to sponsor me by clicking on the link on the left.

Hello

I’m also thinking of doing London-Paris on a fixed gear for Kidney Research UK, albeit in 2010.

Did you do it fixed gear? If so, what gearing?

I’m currently on 48×17 which might be a bit tough (for me at least); I want to enjoy myself!

Thanks, Ray
