• Saw a bloke on a hybrid nearly kill himself 3 times in 3 junctions up Moorgate this morning. Knew something was afoot when he was track standing at the lights by London wall. This was followed by squeezing between a reversing lorry and a car that was stopped to let it out, under taking a van as it was turning left, and then over taking another van that was turning right. Thankfully Darwinism in action was avoided, but is getting to work 30 seconds earlier on a Friday really that important?

    Yep that was me. I saw a Columbian stunt rider balancing on a wall and wanted to copy him and so found a wall in London to practice on via google maps.
    The 30 seconds was important as it goes, except I ended up being 45 seconds late as I caught my trousers on a pushchair on a crossing further up and it took a while to get untangled and shut the screaming parent up. But it's all good.
