Aroogah-
Nope. Normally seen on a navy blue Charge Juicer resplendent with tatty carradice, or my green Genesis Fortitude monster drop bar commuter.
Lovely ride home yesterday evening. Was lord of green lights pretty much all the way from Embankment, along the Kings road, over Putney Bridge and up to Richmond Park. A trio of us were taking it in turns/promutering it most of the way. About 30 mins from Westminster to the far side of Richmond Park. Said hullo/goodbye to a chap on a blue Roberts fixed, had a slight whiff of the "on here?"
As we came across the bridge I could see about 4 massive areas of rain, with small gaps between. I thought it would be a miracle if I got home dry, but lo and behold the showers were dodged!
Green lights, dry and some cyclist friendliness, 10/10

In relation to this, I now think I'm seeing at least one eBike a day on my commute. They are definitely becoming more popular, and I can see the appeal, whizz to work without the noise, expense and faff of a scooter but without the sweat and effort of cycling.
Apart from today, some bloke on one those gobikes absolutely smashing it down the upper Richmond Road in Putney. I drafted him for a while at about 25mph before overtaking just because I could (handy tailwind today). When we got to the next set of lights he was absolutely dripping in his boil in a bag max fluro commuter jacket. He then sheepishly dismounted and pushed over the pedestrian bit before continuing down the highstreet at pace. Maybe he was just late for work.
