Wood Wharf in Canary Wharf is unnecessarily pedestrianised (though I'm happy to dismount up the footbridge) so I asked the security guard what would happen if I just continued on, what could she do?
"We would stop you."
"But what if I kept riding?"
"We would pull you aside."
"And if I kept riding?"
"We would tell your place of work." [nb they have no right to ask for ID]
"And if I kept riding?"
"We would pull you aside!"
"And then?"
"We would bang you."
"What do you mean you would bang me?"
"You know if you want to complain here is the address of the main office. I have just been told to tell people not to ride through here."
I think she must have meant bang me up. Anyway I'll leave my rant about privitised land, security guards playing dress up like law enforcement and the whole troubling private operation that is Canary Wharf for another time, but at least be warned: no riding on pavements/pedestrianised areas in Canary Wharf or else they will take you aside and bang you.
