American couple riding the wrong way (i.e north) down the southbound cycle lane outside Blackfriars station this morning. I ask what they're doing, the lady (imagine Clara from Back to the Future Part III) shouts "sorry!" and they meander on their way. Two seconds later I hear a panicked scream and turn round to see them in a heap on the road, having realised the error of their ways riding into 3 lanes of rush hour traffic coming the other way, which had all now screeched to a halt. Could've been much worse, so thankfully is amusing rather than horrific.
