There are quite a few of us here, UK side!!! I'm a little way further south than you in Leicestershire!!! There's some in northern England in the Lake District and the North East!!! There is a bit of a meet at the end of May in Billing Aquadome, Northamptonshire, and if you're on Facebook...

Welcome from Leicestershire!!! UK!!!

Katy, if you're on Facebook I've just found an excellent page which organise UK rides!!! Look up UK CUSTOM BICYCLE CRUISE CALENDAR!!! I can't believe I haven't found this before!!!

Great looking ride!!! So tempting to start tinkering, but it looks great as is!!!

Hi Katy from a little bit further east of you in Leicestershire!!! And thanks Oleskool, Customcycles added to the list of forums I'll trawl information from!!!

I'll keep searching the Billing, and other websites for the 2014 dates!!! Shift worker so have to check if I'm off, or plead to the wife for booking holiday!!! Hopefully son will ride 2nd cruiser, although at 12 he claims it's "too embarassing"!!! (He's not learned taste yet at school!!!)

Hi Tinbox from your neighbouring county, Leicestershire!!! I'm going to keep my eye out for the Billing event next year and hopefully a few of us could show off our steeds!!!

Hi from Leicestershire!!! I've an Electra Rat Fink, and unfortunately I've got to sell my Nirve Pyro due to lack of space*/money* ( * - delete as appropriate!!!) :( Regards, Gary

Photo taken today of my Rat Fink (and Nirve Pyro) in front of the 14th century church in the centre of the village. The village was mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086!

Greetings from Leicestershire!!! Good to see more and more from the UK adding to the scene, but we're still far flung!!! Shame!!! I'm about to 'Ratrod' an old Marin mountain bike I've had for ages!! It's got great road gearing so looking forward to raised eyebrows from the local 'roadies'!!!

My Nirve Pyro!!!

Here are my humble steeds The first picture is my newest purchase, a Nirve Pyro, bought in 2011, and never fails to turn heads!!! Not many about in Central UK!!! The Nirve in front of my 1997 Kona Koa (Orange bike) mountain bike, and Kona Smoke commuter, which I use for my 20 mile round trip...

What a great write!!! Looking forward to getting out and riding myself, but not quite short sleeve weather here, but will be cruising with you in spirit!!! 8)

My 11 year old loves to cycle with me, but he's getting a 29er mtb for Christmas 'cos it's his 'must have'!!! I wonder if these will be their 'Ratrods' of the future, if we can keep them off the t'interwebnet etc long enough!!!

There's jerks in the UK too!!! Quite a few years ago I was in a city on my mountainbike. I'd stopped at a set of traffic lights and I'd unclipped from one pedal, but my kerbside foot was still clipped in to my spd's!!! A car, music thumping, stopped next to me! The lights changed and the guy on...

Apologies if I'm committing Rat Rod blasphemy, but I have a retro mountain bike I'm considering 'cruiserfying'!!! This is from a newbie Brit, so please show me the error of my ways if I'm thinking all wrong, but there are a limited number of 'original' cruisers about without spending silly...

I've just joined and spent hours today reading various posts (don't tell the wife!!! She'd left me a list of chores!!!) and it's great!!! I thought being in the UK would make me feel quite isolated and as we're a small nation, you imagine that with so many events stateside more of you would meet...

Cheers Bodge Deep and Boris!!! We have a Leicester Critical Mass every month but shift patterns and family seem to have prevented me from going! If you get wind of anything happening locally, or nationally, please let me know; thanks!!! We were in Cumbria last week (Leicestershire's Half-term)...

Hey, Greetings from a dark and wet England, but no where near as bad as you poor people affected by Sandy, for which I send you my best wishes and prayers!!! I've searched for an appropriate forum to talk about those great things that are 'Cruisers', or Rat Rod Bikes, and I believe I've found...
