I'm definately thinking about it.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Will you cycle to Falmer?

Its deceptively up hill going from Brighton to Falmer along Lewes Road. My cycle trip from home to work is largely taken up by this route.
I would recommend a high vis coat and helmet as you are cycling alongside a main road, used by buses and trucks

NO, although I used to cycle from Patcham to the Goldstone in the late 70's, alot safer then aswell plus Westdene Mountain to negotiate

As for Withdean, I will probably be driving from Surrey. Haven't really cased the set-up yet. I'll try and find somewhere to park up and walk the last bit, with an easy getaway to A27/A23 afterwards. I hope this will be possible from the Coldean/Moulsecoomb area.

Don't fancy cycling up the A303 once a fortnight,and the midweek games would wear out my dynamo.
Train for me!

Thanks Greens :(
I'll be walking there 
No.
Firstly I earn enough to run a car.
Secondly I don't care about the enviroment.
Lastly, I can't be bothered.
Coldean's easy - no parking restrictions and easy access to the A27/A23 afterwards. It's about a mile to the ground from Coldean though.
Moulsecoomb's closer but access back to the A27 is not so straightforward, a lot of the roads are dead-ends in that part of the estate.
My reluctance to cycle there is the same as my reluctance to cycle to withdean:
1) General vandals/thiefs who know the bike owners are likely gone for two hours
2) Opposition fans taking revenge for their defeat
3) I sweat a lot when I cycle, I have to change at any destination, and I don't fancy changing outside the football ground or in the loos.
4) Having to take a my cycle helmet into the ground, either loose or in abag would annoy me.
I'll probably walk.

I also earn enough and I drive a car. The purpose of cycling to Falmer has nothing to do with the environment, its to do with exercise.

Me too, passions of mine also include sitting in traffic jams and playing hunt the parking space (nb also up in Moulsecoombe, hub caps are a form of currency, 3.42=£)

You must be f***ing joking mate!
This is England, not China! Next you will expect the stands to be full of tossers in gimp suits from riding their bikes!

Cycle lanes must be very different where you live. I've never seen that.

Yes, clearly they must be. Where I live the only idiots on bikes are all dressed-up in their lycra gimp suits, thinking they will make the Tour de France - even when a lot are the wrong side of 50!

No thanks. It's a 1,000 km round trip, and 70 km of that is water...
