We've got a city cider project running here.
The idea is you donate your windfall/spare apples, and they return it in cider/apple juice. It's called Moss Cider, and is actually rather nice. Bit dry, but they're still in a learning curve.

fucking hell, have you accidentally moved to Hoxton?
that's so hip I'm amazed it isn't riding a fixie wearing a scarf in summer.

Exactly what is a fixie?
no gears?

Or breaks, the wheels are locked to the pedals so you just stop pedalling to break.
or something.

Hipsters also wear braces without a covering jacket.
Like plebs.

I think I'm starting to understand why everybody hates them so much.
I thought it was mostly dressing like Dr Who and having a Dozer-style attitude to music.

I borrowed my friend's flat in Canary Wharf for a week of the olympics
Both her and her bloke are cyclists. He's got a fixie with a Burls titanium frame. I was both impressed and deeply, deeply disgusted.

It sounds bloody dangerous for a city bike.

It's OK, the cunts only ever ride on the pavement
so it doesn't matter. At least to them

specifically, no gears and no freewheel.
In terms of progress it's the cycling equivalent of lighting a fire on your kitchen floor with a flint rather than turn on the cooker.

But, hey, apparently it's hip.

I'd like to see them stop in a hurry

( Kroney, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 13:54, Reply)

No brakes and no helmet, obv.
cos it spoils the hair etc.
Darwinism should take care of it.

That's a great idea badger.
Shit name for the cider though.

Well the stuff is brewed in Moss Side,

Since when do graphic designers live in Moss Side?
Has it been gentrified?

I like how they have tried to appeal to the local residents by adding an element of stealing into it.
