It looks like the latest US exports to the UK are their Hurricanes - thankfully watered down a bit by the time they reach us ? I guess that’s what we get for trying to leave Europe! Heya Keith, random question: did you say once that you did the London Friday/Sunday night skate thing that they put on? Was it good? Figured I'd try it once but don't they all go a bit slow for an euc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @nute, where did you see details of the Friday 27th night ride? I tried to subscribe to a bunch of facebook groups, but most dont have events except every once and a while. Which facebook groups should I subscribe to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy, Not Friday night or Sunday night, it was actually the Sunday roller blade stroll, which begins every Sunday at hyde park corner at 2 p.m. This was back in March 2016 and was organised by @yvesCr who doesn’t seem to be active any more. Yves and I wer3 the only EUC’s that turned up. The surprise was that it was not a ride in the Park at all but 8 miles of roads out to Parsons Green and then along the river. Yves and I both wrote it up at the time (in your London Thread!) below. It did get slow at times mostly due to waiting for traffic and bunching up. However it did get up to a good speed at times. They do an evening rollerblade (Thursday?) meet for experienced skaters I believe that is a lot faster: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 This forum is really amazing . Friendly people wiling to help new riders to enjoy this exiting hobbie . Congratulations to all of you all guys . Hi Vence . In London there are lots of oportunities to join a group . There is the london electric unicycle group and the esk8uk group . You could join this guys on facebook . They organize rides weekly and both groups have an awesome crew . This friday there will be the critical mass event witch should be specially fun due to the hallowen . I reckon there is a group of rollerbladers that gather for a ride every sunday starting from hide park . I have never rode with them but they seem to be a friendly and welcoming group. It is wonderful to see that there are very exiting oportunities for people who are into personal electric transportation to enjoy and have lots of fun and the authoritirs dont seem bother much with our presence as long as we are not puting anyone in harms way . It is a very exiting time to live indeed and an a great oportunity to be a pioneer in the electric revolution ( i have heard rumors of a goverment electric bicycle help to by skeme aiming to take people out of cars and into cycling ) . It would be awesome if this rumors are confirmed . And there have been reports of plans to improve cycling infrastructure in London to improve safety for cyclists I would like to remind all of us to try to be very cautious while riding and respectfull with pedestrians in order to prevent any accidents that could potentially ruin the fun for everyome.

Treating some terribly. Everyone I know is sick, myself included. Neighbor/ friend even has pluracy! Another friend has been sick for three months. And of course this wind is pretty tricky to wheel in. Still at least we don't have that arctic free on the US east side. Glad you're ur loving your Tesla.
